Im gonna run 10, thats my absolute limit. Im running 6.5 atm, car spools nicely. Its weird having it on boost at around 2200rpm, then thinking, gee this is pulling hard, then that weird ass top end power comes on and your off twice as hard. Great fun

Yeah I had the same with my car, it was bizzare...the top-end was impressive

  • 5 weeks later...

For anyone interested in doing this conversion, I made 210rwkw and 475nm on Dr drifts dyno today @ 9psi with stock injectors, stock ecu & stock R31 fuel pump, cooler and high flow t3/4

666Dan, how much boost was the turbo making from off idle?

I've worked on a few RB25DE's which have had RB20 turbos fitted to them and they were practically making boost when idling. Massive torque down low but runs out of top end very quick... One of those cars now runs a fairly insane turbo/setup (still high C/R for response), makes about 300 rwkw or so, that was done nearly two years ago and its still going, really needs good tuning to keep them together....

hey man, i wanna turbo my r33 rb25de what computer do i run, some ppl say rb20det and some say rb25det, some say the rb20det wont work with the vvt etc and the rb25det is too hard to tune, im confused i can get all rb20det parts real cheap but dont wanna do it unles i know what ecu will plug in and work, can i get away with just a std turbo ecu and tuning and no link or safc etc as im on a tight budget, only want to run stock std boost...

cheers guys

my sugestion is if your on a tight budget then wait until you got the money to do it properly, you never know what might go wrong and end up costing you shit loads to rectify, as for ecu, i would not sugest any standard ecu as it will not be safe to drive, possibly a standard TURBO ecu with a piggy back, but aftermarket is always best, as for r32 ecu it will work but i think something has to be done to it to make it work ie some pins have to change or somethingh and it will need to be re-mapped and you will need an aftermarket cam controller, dr. drift suply and fit r32 re-mapped ecu's with cam controler for around the $1300 including dyno time, or you could spend the extra 500ish for an aftermarket unit tuned,

As these guys have said, if you're not after full tunability, the stock ECU is fine..generaly the tune on it is quite well suited to the higher compression. Stick and SAFC/emanage on it if you want to adjust a bit more.

I have just finished my turbo conversion in the uk and made 310 bhp and 275 lb/ft torque at 9psi would highly recomend this conversion to any one . Thanks for the idear and info 666DAN with out this forum and your info i would still be driving a 200ish bhp A/N and wanting more power . So thanks again :O i have added a pic of what she look like .

hey mate wat mods do u have in ur car to make that sorta power?

Hi mate i have a 100mm front mount intercooler and hard pipe kit , GReady E01 with Emanage , FSE fuel pressure reg and fuel pump , Gready turbo elbow down pipe cat pipe and 2" N/A nismo exhaust , Apexi oil cooler , HKS and Green induction kit with cold air feed , engine circle earth with voltage stabeliser , uprated blow off valve with about 4 hours on the dyno and in the process of fitting 25 shot of nos and intercooler sprayer which should give about 40bhp on top of the 310

    • I replaced the whole clutch line with the chase bays braided hose, I think it removes that loop, is it the short hose that comes immediately off the slave or is there a drawing in the manual to find what you’re referring to? It was just re-bled when I upgraded to the nismo slave, old slave worked fine but I thought that might help, didn’t change a thing. It’s like the first half of the pedal is pushing air and then when it finally actuates the master the friction zone is tiny. Makes it practically impossible to launch the car
    • Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.
    • I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it
    • If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣
    • I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.
