Wtf Dan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dan,

would you recommend getting a r33 GTS or r33 GTS-T as my 2nd car?

im just about to get off my Ps but money is a problem, and worries for insurance and maintaining it.

[666DAN]

If I were you I'd hold off until you do have the money for a GTS-t if you can't afford to look after the car, then you can't afford the car...it's the sad truth.

gtst = 3 grand for insurance, service atleast every 5,000 km's

gts = 1500 maybe for insurance and service every 10,000 )although i do mine every 5)

my gts on long trips gets 500+ km's per tank (about 520) a GTST would get no where near as much, also when driving it around own etc the GTST will guzzle the fuel

Hey guys, has anyone tried this setup

RB20DE bottom end with a RB25DE cylinder head.?????

I'd love to know what sort of compression ration this comes up with, or if they will actually bolt on.

i have a 1993 r32 gts with a rb20det conversion. i bought it this way so i dunno whats been done. power seems sweet up until 5000rpm, where it seems to hit some flat spots in power from there onwards. Could this be possibly due to the fact that the ecu is still from the non-turbo engine, or maybe coz he hasnt upgraded the fuel pump? mods on it are fmic, 3 inch turbo back exhaust, brass button clutch. there is no bov, and currently is running 11psi. any ideas?

cheers

This thread is kinda old, but i'll post up anyway. Incase anyone wants to know in the future?

Blew up my rb20det (big end bearing) and have just dropped an rb20de motor in.

High mount manifold

rb25 series 2 turbo

External wastegate

safc 2

sard fuel pressure regulator

walbro fuel pump

front mount

3" exaust turbo back

Boost controller

It goes onto the dyno on thursday (sunday at the moment), and i ain't going to be shy about the amount of boost it runs. I want as much power as the standard rb20det injectors can handle... (hopfully around 300hp atw)

Not sure how long the motor will last, but, gotta find out 1 way or another as noone seems to post up any results

Regards,

Chris.

Dan,

When u had ya 34 did u upgrade the brakes too?

[illusiVe]

just wondering, what did you have installed which alloud your R34 to like positive boost.. my car stalls when i hit more than 0.00

thinking its the ecu, just wondering what i need to 'fix' this issue

[RU34ME]

hey i jus picked up a r33 gts25 off the forums , possible looking to turbo it...

i also have a s15 fronted 180sx, and its running a rb25det...

so i was gonna rip the turbo setup off it, t70, 38mm ext gate, hi rise manifold... take the standard injectors out of th det and the ecu out of it.. does this sound like it would run ok if i put it on??

[BADR33]

i just stripped down a rb25de outa a r33 and it does have all the oil and water fittings on the side of the block. there just blanked off with bolts. so you can turbo then. youll just need everything off a rb25det turbo
