hi mates. i just bought a rb25 dump/front pipe in one. since the rb30 is taller i believe il have to make the pipe longer on the down pipe. is it as simple as getting another bit welded in on the straight part that is equal to the difference of the rb30 and rb25 block or will the angles be out or any crap like that?

will have my rb25-30 done real soon finally. what power do you guys rekn itl do on standard rb25 turbo? not looking for a full beast. just wanna get it in the car and driving finally. and what psi would be the max i should run on the turbo? isnt it 12 psi on a rb25 so i should go less because of the extra capacity so the turbo will need to spin faster to make the same psi? so id go like 10psi max or something? will be running wolf3d ecu and standard injectors with bigger internal and external fuel pumps and surge tank. its a rebuilt na pistons bottomend 1mm oversize with standard cams and full 3 inch exhaust from turbo back.

thanks guys

my rb25 turbo has a 10 psi actuator off a rb20 i think they are. that with a full 3 inch exhaust and greddy copy plenum and 80mm throttle body and stuff will make it go to like 12-13 psi wouldnt it? so should i go back to a rb25 actuator and just run it at whatever it goes to? hopefully not much over 10 psi

RB25 turbo on RB25/30 should make about 180rwkw but will choke the engine up, my power would fall over about 5800rpm.. by the time it got to 6800rpm it was only making 90hp...

I had to change to taller diff gears to make proper use of all the extra torque (went from stock 32gtst 4.3:1 to s13 auto 3.9:1)

It is a lethal combination though.. spooled from idle, 12psi by ~2200rpm so instant full boost in any gear and rolling on in 5th when others have to drop back a gear. Drop 2nd at 3000rpm without bogging down, fun times.

    • 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  
    • 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
    • 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..
    • The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.
    • Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
