Hey all,

Just need some help regarding my chase for power.

Ive got basic mods at the moment(fmic, and exhaust lol). I want to run a gt3076r but internally gated and on the standard manifold to keep it looking stockish.

Anyway, I need to know what else I will need. Ive done all my reading but I'm stumped on injectors.

Are 550cc top feeds enough? Ive already got a bosch 040 and a nismo fuel regulator. I just need injectors. Should I go 740's? Does brand matter? I see Siemens and this other brand that starts with D going fairly cheap.

Its on an Rb25 motor. Ive found the turbo I want(direct bolt into stock position). Ive set aside about 2.5k for the turbo, injectors and the tune.

injectors need to be side feed for rb25. 555s will be enough for 270rwkw but if you can get decent 740s for the same/similar price you might aswell get them, incase you ever go e85.

you'll be sturggling to do it all properly for 2.5k

The turbo I'm getting for $1100.

Braided lines apparently $75 http://cgi.ebay.com....=item4155198a0e

Injectors about $700

Nistune about $700

T3 gasket and 5 bolt gasket about $60

Stud kit for turbo about $100

Its just a tad bit over $2500.

Its hard to find GT3071's. I could always get a rebuild with GT3071 internals as my old turbo was the same... Too many options and seriously when you look at all the options it just confuses me.

The injectors I found are 550cc top feed nismos so I would need a new rail...

Ive removed and replaced my turbo on my old car a couple times. Ive removed and installed the fuel rail my self. Only thing I haven't done was install the fuel pump but there are guides for that. I think I can do the physical/mechanical work my self. I would have someone with me giving me a hand and probably also knows what they're doing so we can do it right.

Denso are the ones I have heard off, pretty cheap too.

what about oil drain, 10mm spacer, longer studs, actuator and bracket, dump pipe, intake/cooler piping changes?

then theres oil, filter, coolant etc that you'd change at the same time, it all adds up

I wouldn't need the spacer, well thats what I was told, as the turbo is has a different exhaust housing which will make it fit directly onto the rb25 without fouling against the rocker covers. I have factored those in as worst case. I am going to need an actuator but someone told me I can use the actuator off my skyline and just use the boost controller to take care of the extra boost. The cooler piping is my only concern. I see people running silicone bends and all this stuff, I'd really prefer to get something fabricated. I was quoted about $60 - $100 for the bends made from aluminum.

Ive got all the oils and coolants already(I stock up). Whats the go with the oil drain? The standard one wont bolt onto the new turbo? They average about $8 - $30 over on eBay. I can always pick up some parts 2nd hand.

Exactly... If you have guesstimated it will be $2500 it's going to cost you $5000

I know you won't believe me, but trust me it will :(

what housing is it? none of the garrett ones clear.

cant remember what the standard actuator bracket is like but im pretty sure you cant use it

standard oil drain wont bolt up, bolt spacing is different. you need to buy a pipe/flange to suit and make up the rest of the drain out of whatever you can (stock block fitting with new high temp hose would be best).

Your stats say you have an R33 - would think you'll need more than $700 budgeted here, given you'll need to either get an R32 or Z32 ECU, have nistune chip fitted to that, and then the cost of tuning it ..

I'm getting a little scared now :( I'm hoping I can save money on the installation side...

I was told its an AVO housing to suit RB20/25 motors. I should be able to get the necessary parts. Its quite lucky that I posted here, I kind of had my arse uncovered abit...

Shit are you serious? Damnit f**k, I thought it was going to be compatible. Then Ill use a PFC or get a quote for an r32 ecu with the necessary mods to make it work on the r33 + tune. Shit, its gonna add up..

If someone buys my RB25det gearbox it would put $1000 in my pocket :) Or I am willing to trade the box for parts I can use.

450cc S15 injectors, with remap + piggyback, gt3076r internal wastegate .73 AR ($2250 from Adelaide turbo services), auto makes comfortable 250awkw

550cc injectors would be fine for your 270rwkw mark, 290+ would be the happypants zone

Definitely under budgeting and poor part selection.

To start with, do not buy top feed injectors with intention to do an AM rail. This only works when using a Greddy style forward facing plenum. The stock plenum will foul top feed injectors. You will need side feeds OR to highflow your stock items as 10WRB has said.

Contact CEF11E on this forum regarding highflowing your injectors, he knows his work.

As for how to do the job and how to budget for it.. I would do it like this:

A GCG 3076 or 3071 kit for $2950. The turbo on its own is normally about $1700 new, the other $1200 is towards all your fittings such as lines and spacers, new studs etc. The kit also comes with a dump pipe that meets with the stock position front pipe. This kit comes with the CORRECT GARRET .82 turbine housing. The kit you are describing with a turbo for $1100 would have no rear housing, and an AVO housing is roughly $700. The AVO housing will have difficulty holding the right amount of boost and will struggle to make the power this turbo is capable of (as stated 250rwkw instead of the 300 its capable of). The GCG kit comes with THE RIGHT GEAR and is reasonably priced.

From here you will need the following:

Intake pipe custom made $200 (reasonable expected cost)

Front pipe (if you dont have one already - one piece front and dump will need to be replaced if you have this) $300

Highflow cat (if you dont have already) $400

Intercooler pipes will meet up as the GCG kit comes with the silicon bend

The turbo will now be on the car and running. Now you will need:

Injectors $150-300 to highflow, $400-1200 to purchase sidefeeds (700+cc recommended)

ECU I would go a toshi remap $700ish to be safe - http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/210097-power-fc-and-remap-ecu-road-tune-and-dyno-tune-available-in-sydneysending-to-other-state-and-over-seas-also-abailable-now/

Z32 AFM $300 if you shop around BNEW and then a R31 or VL AFM plug from pick and dont pay less (aka pick and pocket)

So theres your round $5000 or more. By the time you get a few extra niggly bits here and there too, its well and truly over that amount.

Another thing to note, if you opt to purchase the turbo elsewhere (not liking the $2950 price tag from GCG) prepare for the costs to add up very quickly when trying to source all the bits. You can get the lines and silicon bend sorted for around $300 on ebay, however the dump pipe will cost atleast $500 to $1000 depending on who you have make it for you and at what quality. The GCG kit is a reasonable price, do not overlook it.

If you really are tight on money, consider this option:

Hypergear hiflow (can get one made to do 270rwkw) $900-1200

Hiflow injectors $300

Toshi remap $700

Z32 AFM $300

One piece front and dump $179 from justjap (if you dont have one already)

Cat $200 (3" ceramic catco from justjap)

Theres $3000 tops and you will get your 270rwkw. It will not be the SAME 270rwkw, it will have different delivery and the debate about which is better still rages, however it will certainly equate to a decent and FAST car.

I am pretty sure this is the 4th time I have written such a post.. Maybe a guide is in order for the turbo FAQ section (mods let me know if you want this done - im happy to write something up with links and results).

I have a 3076 internally gated smallest rear housing that was supposed to bolt directly up (btw it didn't haha) and all the parts (no labour) for that was just under 3k and I already had an microtech ECU, nismo 740cc injectors, nippon denso fuel pump but i also have a greddy plenum and 90mm TB on a R33 S1 RB25DET.

I only managed to have the car for about 2 days before it blew up again (builder didn't check the clearance on the pistons for the oil squirters lucky I didn't give it all the time I had it :teehee:), but from memory i had ~245rwkw @ 12-13psi (guess at most...it's been awhile) on a safe run in tune and I was aiming for 270rwkw all day everyday.

The turbo I had before was a high flow stock turbo (227rwkw @ 18psi...had the car running for longer then so I can remember >_<) and "felt" virtually the same if not a little later on the 3076.

    • I know this one’s the BB one. My tuner did make mention about the actuator. I am curious about the VCT as well
    • Might also needs a stronger actuator with the right preloading. With older 2019 built bush G3 units, BB upgrade or 21U housing down size makes a pretty decent gain in response as well. 
    • Hey lads  so im finally putting together my rb30 forged bottom end and ran into an issue. I measured my main bearing clearance with arp main studs torqued to 60 ft-lbs using ACL H series STD size bearings and standard, un-ground crank shaft journals and got an oil clearance reading of about 1.3 thou measuring straight up and down and about 2.8 thou measuring at a 45 degree angle (just above and below the parting line). My machine shop said they measured the main tunnel and it was all within spec (they didnt say the actual measurement) and to go with a standard size bearing, which i have done and the clearance is too tight, I'm guessing because of the extra clamping force from the arp studs distorting the main tunnel. I was wanting to run about 2.5 thou main bearing clearance.  My questions are: 1. could i just use the HX extra 1 thou clearance ACL bearings? that would fix my straight up and down clearance making it about 2.3 thou, but then would the side to side clearance be too big at around 3.8 thou? 2. what actually is the recommended main bearing clearance for measuring near the parting line / side to side. i know its supposed to be bigger as the bearing has some eccentricity built into it but how much more clearance should there be compared to the straight up and down measurement? at the moment there is about 1.5thou difference, is that acceptable or should it be less? 3. If i took the engine block + girdle back to the machine shop and got them to line bore the main tunnel (like i told them to do the first time, but they said it didnt need it) what bearing size would i buy? the STD size bearing shells already slide in fairly easily with no real resistance, some even falling out if i tip the girdle up-side-down. If im taking material out of the main tunnel would i need a bearing with extra material on the back side to make up for it? this is probably confusing af to read so if something doesn't make sense let me know and ill try explaining in a different way. My machine shop doesn't come back from christmas break until mid January, hence why i'm asking these questions here. TIA for any help or info 
    • I bought the model back in Japan in Feb. I realised I could never build it, looked around for people who could build it, turns out there's some very skilled people out there that will make copies of 1:1 cars or near enough. I'm not really a photo guy... but people were dragging me in a group chat for the choice of bumper as someone else saw the car before it was finished as they are also a customer of that shop. I took the photo in the above post because I was pretty confident that the lip would work wonders for it. Here's some more in-progress and almost-done pics. It gives a good enough idea as to what the rear looks like!   I have also booked in a track day at the end of January. Lets all hope that is nothing but pure fun and games. If it's not pure fun and games, well, I've already got half an engine spare in the cupboard 
    • Well, do ya, punk? Seriously though, let's fu<king go! The colour and kit looks amazing on the car. Do you have any shots from the rear? I don't quite follow how the model came around. You bought the white kit and he modified it to match your car? Looks nuts either way!
