hey guys

before you say, YES, i did do a search, found nothing to specifically help me.

i have a r32 gts-t and the seller, who was a chick mind you, told me its a rb25det engine, series 1 turbo. Now, i know a bit about it and i doubting weather or not it really is because its still a 2.0L 1998cc and only the rb20det came out like that, if it was the rb25 it would be 2.5L. Im pretty stumped so how can i find out what it actually is? Im not a pro at this kind of stuff but i do know a tad.

Also, if it is an after market turbo, not the stock rb20, how much would i look at if i wanted to remove it and how much effort. Being after market it shouldnt be too much right?

cheers

also im sorry if this is the wrong section, i couldnt find any other turbo related section.

I don't get it.

You say the seller told you it had an RB25 and you are saying it has a RB20 in it. So the seller lied to you or didn't know. I'm sorry I just don't get your question? Or do you not know what engine it is?

As for the turbo removal it isn't hard if you are handy with a spanner, why are you wanting to remove it though? You mean so you can change it for something else?

john post a photo of the engine bay

or pm a link to an engine bay photo

it will be the quickest way to work out what engine it has

and then for the turbo do the same

take a photo of the area and post it up or pm a link

there are obvious visual differences between the two (rb20det turbo and rb25det turbo) - regardless of what engine it is on, so it sohuld be easy to pick

    • It is possibly 55 degrees for the Nismo version. I had a look through the manual and the stocker has a breakaway torque of 2.5 to 3.5kgm. Supposedly the Nismo LSD goes down to 5kgm when worn in but it is pretty grabby even with very little throttle. Worse when cold. So I guess you have three things. 1. Shims. 2 Friction plates 3. Cams Would think shims would be the easiest but Ive no clue how many tenths of a mm shim thickness change equals how many kgm torque. Also not sure if the Nismo friction plates are similar/different to stock or if they are the most of the source of the diff being angry. Think I can write off the Nismo rebuild kit for the standard diff as not being what I want.  
    • Yeah, it was a bit of confusion with me, I rang and asked if they had a boot for a soft top, and then the paint shop when they rang and were asked if it had a hard top on it, which it does, just not a PRHT....LOL Meh, whilst frustrating for all concerned it isn't a war stopper and should be a thing of the past in a week or two In other N/A related news, car is booked in at the end of the month for the cams, springs, retainers, harmonic balancer and retune  I might even pull the lazy arse card and get them to do a full service on it whilst it is there
    • Factory LSD is supposedly a 2 way with a very conservative cam. If you've already tried adding friction modifier to the diff oil and it still locks up too much for your liking you might want to adjust the ramp rate on the cam to be more like OEM instead of reducing initial torque even further. People claim the 8 kgf-m disc kit for the OEM LSD is still very streetable but I've never been able to compare everything side by side on my own.
    • Oh man, at least it sounds they've accepted they stuffed up and not put it back on you...could see some confusion if they asked if it had a hardtop or not, and you've answered truthfully but maybe not answering their real question which is what roof did it have from the factory! Glad your keeping it N/A 2.5
    • Nah, I much prefer colour matched Talking about colour matching stuff, the new/used boot lid turned up, all painted up perfectly......aaaannnndddd, it's for a power retractable hard top, not a soft top.....LOL They are now sending a boot to fit a soft top.....,  whilst frustrating, life is like that sometimes, sometimes you just need to dodge, duck, dip, dive and, ummm, dodge.
