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

    • Nah, shouldn't have made any difference. Reds on, or car running, should be same same for what you were doing.

    • Oh bugger ! Your right ! Good old hydrogen sulfide. Takes me back to the good old school days ! 
    • I've owned a few scooters over the years, a Vespa PX oil burner was my first scooter, followed by a few others, including a little 50cc BeeWee that I used as a barracks bike, and I've had a blast on all of them, they really are the cheapest for of city/suburb transport around The only issue with scooters in Australia is lots of people look down on them due to their size,  maybe they need a big bike to make up for something else where they are lacking, unlike Europe and Asia where every man an their dog owns one, and now that filtering is legal in NSW, local traffic is never a issue Not to say I haven't owned my share of big cc bikes over the years, but they were for more blasting through the hills or Hwy riding where it needed to sit on Hwy speeds Safety wise, I ride like everyone is always trying to kill me, everyone is running a red, or running stop/give way signs, or generally asleep at the wheel, which most people are duringtheir commute, I also ride really safe, and give myself, and everyone else enough room in case I need to pull some hasty evasive actions, I've done a few rider training days over the years, which has come in handy on more than a few occasions  As for mods, there's nothing really, and yes your right about aftermarket exhaust, all you get is loud and obnoxious noises from them, like every 250-300 cc you hear with a aftermarket muffler, in saying this I did put a rear muffler from a 125 Aprilla on one of my old 125 scooters, it was horrendous and no amount of full face helmet and ear plugs would dampen that noise As for coming from the Harley, and what a overpriced POS that was, I no longer do big rides as my poor old busted joints ache after about 1/2 an hour of riding, long cruises are so much more enjoyable now in a car, so a big bike would be pointless
