I mean no offense or anything and am only trying to help when i say this, but with a turbo that big it will be frustrating and useless anywhere except the drag strip. If it reaches max boost above 4000rpm thats only like 2000rpm or so of max boost. You'll be driving a non-turbo on the street cos you'll never be on boost. When it does hit boost it'll be so extreme and wont be a nice drive at all. In stock form the boost comes on nice and smooth and the car is very driveable. That is what you'll lose by putting a big turbo on - the driveability. GT35's are standard on a ford xr6t so that should give you an idea of the size engine they're designed for. The RB25 just doesn't have the low-end torque to spin it up good enough.

EDIT: just realised you have a RB20. There's no way an RB20 has enough torque to power up such a big turbo. It might have cost you a lot but it will cost you more trying to make it work.

Nissan match the stock turbo up exactly with the characteristics of the engine. If you modify it, there will be a compromise in some way. Most people are happy with a GT28 highflow - eg. from GCG. The compromise is its slightly more laggy but the top end is a lot stronger. you can still get plenty of power from a GT28. If you need more power than this, buy a GTR.

sorry my mistake its not a gt3540 its a 2530 front with vlt rear housing should go ok but ill post to let you know how it goes cheers for the info.

love the big turbs but you need the engine capacity to produce the power its designed for.

i made the mistake of buying a master pro ar70(to4e).i put it in my rb20det and thort it would haull ass.......

but no...didnt get boost till round 4200-4500rpm.and was all over untill i got to 3rd.thats were it started to make power.

id recomend a t3t4 simple top mount upgrade.good for 320-383.1 was the best iv seen and that was on the 1st of aug.

anyway hope this puts some ideas on the table :down:

good news boys its all on, boost does not come till 3500 and it comes on hard its great. and i have also saved fuel because the turbo is not on the whole time i got 54 kms more outta my tank its crazy... its only on 9psi going to boost it to 14psi soon should be a massive improvement once again. but i have got one prob where the intake pipe to the front of the turbo is the two pipes that come off the intake pipe are no longer on and the one running from the rocket cover i have put a breather pod there to replace it but my car is now hunting for idle and also stalls when going down in gears if im breaking and have it in angle gear it stalls any ideas?? i hope this make sense lol

i done all the work myself on it got everything made up to fit the only thing i could not find is one of those pipe's for the front of the turbo so i pulled the emisson pipes off and just bolt and clamp the others and i have a bit of flat steel inbetween my stock bov so no air pass's through it but yeah... i might have to get one made up unless there is another option? has any one else changed there's over?

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      If the RB29 box in the car is a push clutch, then yes, you will need to deal with the pull clutch on the turbo box. You either buy a pull clutch and don't use the old one, or you do the things needed to convert the turbo box's clutch arrangement over to push. Which is a bit of a f**karound. "Making" a custom tailshaft is the easy part. But you will need to source the front clip yoke - the bit that goes into the output of the gearbox. These are not as easy to find. They are out there, but they don't grow on trees the way that they used to.

      Turn signal wiring question

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Indicator bulbs are way too bright to use as a "corner marker" (we call them parking lights too). Sure. Go ahead and do it. But realise that you wil need to come up with all your own wiring to do it, as no-one will have a standard howto worked out for Skylines. It's just a matter of abandoning everything that Nissan have done and starting from scratch. You'd probably be better off retrofitting tailght/brakelight globe bases into the front indicator housings and using the taillight circuit for your corner marker and the brake light as the indicator. You'd need to work out how to kill the marker circuit while the indicator is flashing, otherwise it won't flash on-off, just bright-less bright.

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..
