is ur NA turboed now ?
It's so close at the moment I can almost hear the ptshhh.

Just in the final stages of putting it in....everything else is sorted, just need to get the turbo put on, and the mod plate firmly affixed :)

nice man post up the results when its put in..are u gonna get it dyno'd too??

Yeah when the e-manage gets tuned after the turbo goes on it's getting done on the dyno, so full figures will be available.....

Plus I'll be more than happy to post a step-by-step upgrade thread with almost all the details and info needed for anyone else wanting to go ahead with it.

I'll try and include some more pics like the first one, showing stages :)

Looking forward to your write up - turbo'ing the RB25DE is an option I've been thinking about for a while now. I'd be very interested to hear how you went about it, any problems, unforseen difficulties etc.

Dan - BTW, I didn't check the part numbers for the injectors, will try and get down to Nissan again in the coming week. I'd imagine they'd be different to the R33's & R32's though (part number wise) but probably not in terms of flow rate...

Hmmm I'll edit this bit...because it seems I was wrong.

Took the car for a bit of a more spirited drive :) seem that the injectors are hitting 100% cycle duty at 5300 rpm.....seems strange that a car company would allow a vehicle to hit its upper limit before the redline?

AFM is sitting pretty at 4.00V

Well looks like I'll be in the market for some injectors...R34 GT-t stockies more than welcome :rofl:

After a bit more playing with the computer...seems that the second the AFM sends out 4.00V, duty cycle climbs dramatically. By reducing the AFM voltage by 7 - 10% over 3000-6500rpm, duty cycle only peaks out at 35% with no detontaion or performance decrease.

Yeah I'm keeping compression at 10:1, running 6Psi I've seen this running fine in cars overseas in more extreme heat than we have. Higher compression means faster spooling :)

yep, i'm only looking at running 6psi of boost. now what exact parts are required? if i can pick up some 2nd hand parts for cheap i'm going to do this. like i said, i don't want to make big power, just want some extra kick. we would need a R33 turbo ecu too right?

yea wat parts would we need to do the conversion

wat ecu would i use on my RB20 i heard that they are reprogrammable or would i be better off getting an RB20DET ecu?

I've got an E-manage in my car to take care of Air/Fuel, not sure on the GTS-t ECU, it may freak out as it's not receiving certain inputs from sensors the N/A wouldn't have.

You'll need the GTS-t injectors to stay safe (got some for sale with offers over $75:) )

GTS-t AFM

Hmmm stock intercooler and plumbing, makes life VERY simple.

Stock exhaust manifold and turbo + dump pipe.

Someone to do your engineering certificate and fit some water and oil lines to the turbo.

Off the top of my head that'll be fine.

I've had many different reports on power output 30-50% increase is very likely...if you use aftermarket parts, you can be looking at near 80% like another guy I know...not a bad figure for 0.5 Bar!

sounds great dan...can you roughly estimate the overall cost for this?

Parts including E-manage you should allow for $2000 maximum.

Compliance plate $110

2hrs of dyno tuning $??? depending on workshop

A days labour for the turbo fitting.....2 if some sort of nightmare crops up :D

But if you're fairly confident at doing most of the fiddly work...cutting out intercooler pipe holes, replacing injectors, fitting the intercooler, making sure everything fits in general. This will slash the effort for most workshops...and keep money in your pocket.

Most people will tell you just get a turbo model...but if you're like me and have grown attached to your current car it makes perfect sense.

Those of you wanting more than 7Psi, maybe try and source some forged pistons, lower the compression...then you'll be less limited in the boost you can run.

Getting the ECU tuned can have a dramatic effect though, squeezing out those extra Kw's while maintaining a very reliable low-boost setup.

      Ticking Sound On Idle - Rb25

      Have you put an aftermarket oil pressure gauge on and verified your oil pressure?   Noise being on the block, on exhaust side, how high up the block does it seem to be? It could be the VCT system getting cranky, especially if it's mainly at idle, and when warm, as that'll be your lowest point for oil pressure. Could be showing that oil passages / VCT solenoid are blocking.

      Well, hydraulic lifters will get noisy if they are dirty/fouled in some way, and exactly how that manifests will depend on exactly what schmutz is where. There is a procedure on here somewhere for dismantling and soaking/cleaning them. Replacing them with new is about 50% of the work and about 5% of the money!

      Ticking Sound On Idle - Rb25

      By myrbgivesmeheadaches · Posted

      Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy this is is a hydraulic lifter engine. Yea right i did not realise the lifters were supposed to be compressible while installed. I could push them down but i had to lean almost my while body weight on them.  I have never heard of a lifter/ lifters ticking only at hot idle and getting worse the hotter it gets. I have owned a few jdm cars with noisy lifters. This noise is slightly more subtle, it is more of a sharp gentle metalic tic than the solid and more loud tapping I've heard on lifters. I have used a metal rod, alloy tube, hose and stethoscope and could not find the source of the tick. But it appears to be loudest on the actual engine block behind the exhaust cam gear and next to the oil filter. I had mate (40 year old mechanic) go over it with me and he couldn't find it either..  Could it be a cam seal issue of some sort?  Cheers

      This seems problematic and unlikely at the same time. Vanilla RB2Xs have hydraulic lifters. They do have "zero" clearance, but only when running with oil pressure inside them. When not running, you should be able to compress them and obtain heaps of clearance. RB26s and Neos have solid lifters. They should have ~0.3mm and ~0.5mm on the inlet and exhaust respectively. If they have zero clearance then bad things are happening. With nothing else being wrong, it would mean that the valves would be held slightly (ever so slightly) open when they are supposed to be closed and it should have all sorts of problems when running, caused by leakage in/out through the valves. Or, zero clearance can indicate severe valve seat recession. None of it is good. Have you used a piece of hose as a stethoscope to try to localise the noise?
