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

    • Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy. 
    • New [400]Z, they're available in manual and you don't have to worry about parts scarcity. 
    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
