I have a rb30 with a series 1 rb25det head vct. Have welded head and have done the internal vct feed. Blocked front oil restrictor and 1.5 restrictor in rear. I have a couple of questions. First of I'll be using the motor for torque more than power as it's in a 4wd. Will not be reved over 6 grand. What I need to no is what would be the best setup for this. I need turbo manifold, wiring loom and computer. What would people suggest for this setup. I have searched but as this is for a 4wd and not a drag car it is different

i'd suggest running both oil feeds if your using an internal feed for vct, especially if your not revving it much. in standard form the vct has its own 1.5mm feed and the 25 head has 2 x 1.5mm feeds, so a single 1.5mm for all 3 wouldnt be ideal.

a standard 25 or 30 oil pump will be fine for a mild 4wd setup.

a small highflow turbo would probably be perfect for 4wding, even a standard turbo if your not after any more than 180rwkw.

use a 25det loom and an ecu to suit a 25det

Except for turbo selection; As above. A STD turbo or even a hi-flow will run out of puff before 5k and would drastically restrict exhaust flow. Look at a turbo in the 450-550hp range. I use a gt3076r and is perfect for response, wide power range and heaps of torque. STD manifold will do the job, to keep costs down. Rb25 loom and any plug-in rb25 ecu. That should see you make over 250rwkw.

    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
