Hey guys

My brother is thinking of putting a rb25 turbo into his rb20, after speaking to a very realible source today I'm told it'll bolt up fine just wondering if the oil and water lines match up, and if so does anyone have a rb25 turbo for sale :)

Cheers guys

oohhh... Excellent question my good man.

Perhaps pick a number between 150 and 200?

Seems to be in good nick, bought it as a spare just in case.

Got an RB20 turbo too if your bro just wants a spare so he can Blow his turbo up.

But only worth doing if the lines match up?!?!?!, he is aiming for 200ish maybe more but is also doing coilpacks and injectors etc etc might only run 170rwkw but reliable as, also does anyone know if there is much ecu work involved in running an rb25 turbo on an rb20

with a pod and a 3" zorst you get about 10 psi with no boost control mods.

and the computer goes full rich, i dont know how a std turbo feels cos it was on it when i bought it

And ive spent a bit on bits to support it (fuel pump, injectors etc) and yet to get a nistune. they will all go in at the same time when i have everything i need.

But i think its worth it cos ill only need a retune when i get a good turbo.

so.... how many thousands does he want to pour into it?

injectors, fuel pump, exhaust, pod and cold air box, boost control, gauges, better radiator, z32 afm, ecu upgrade and tune.

thats probly minimum to support more boost properly. im doing a major service at the same time so im getting even more bits for the upgrade.

after about 2 years, soon ill get there.. hopefully all done by febuary.

Thanks lads, ill pass all that onto my bro and see what he thinks from there :)

Tell Lachy that he needs to get off his ass and buy his 34 GTR already......and then give me his 32 so I can put all the things that Mik just said onto it and turn the mr2 into a dedicated track car lol

Drew - you should of kept your GTR mate.

Have you seen the brand new N1 fine engine in FS for $14k?

Richard, I've lost count of how many times I've had a look at that engine for sale ? I know I should have kept it, that's why I stare at yours so lovingly every time I see it lol

      3D printing fun

      By Sean'O · Posted

      Howdy friends, So another weird one today, I was looking into replacing some broken clips holding the front grille for the R32 GTR (part number 01553-03831), and noticed the brackets which are supposed to hold the grille in place were also missing 😑. I do recall seeing this issue many years ago, but didn't fix it at the time. A quick look on eBay and I was able to find the genuine brackets, along with all the screws which suited the headlights (part numbers 26042-08U05,26092-08U05). Happy days!....  Once they arrived however there was an extra nut in the packaging which implied that there should also be a bolt or a stud, and sure enough, after a bit of searching I found this thread from 2013, and @Ants clearly shows a stud should be present. Reading around a bit more, it's possible the headlights on my car are the "povo pack" headlights as mentioned by @funkymonkey in this thread way back in 2008. This could explain why the studs are missing on my set of headlights. Looking at the headlight diagram I wasn't able to see a suitable part number for the stud itself. The headlight did indeed have a recess that looked like it would accept a stud, but interestingly no thread or anything obvious how the stud would be affixed to the headlight, I suspect it may have been glued in, press fit, or melted into the plastic at the factory. Another member may be able to clarify if they happen to have a genuine set of N1 headlamps. The only thing we have to work with within the recess is a keyway which likely is there to prevent the stud from rotating within the recess. In any case, back to 3D printing, I put together a model which acts like a pug with a friction fit inside this recess, making use of the keyway so it doesn't rotate while tightening a bolt. Printing in TPU will allow it to slightly swell making a nice snug fit without cracking the part. I've designed the adaptor it to accept an 20 mm M6 bolt (stainless with a cap head in my case), as opposed to the standard M5 stud and I made use of the standard galvanised split washer that came with the genuine brackets from Nissan. Once the bolt and screws were all in place, giving the bracket a gentle shake gave the classic "shaking the car" feeling, very solid, which gives me confidence this is going to be able to hold on much better than the janky solution which seems to have been here for the past decade or so. Overall I'm really pleased with how this turned out and maybe there are more people out there running these headlights without a centre stud at all!

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) clogged cat

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Hey everyone, This is my first post apart of the introduction. I tried searching a bit on the forum but couldn't really get a straight answer. I got the car to my mechanic as I felt it being weak. It seems that it was missing on two cylinders due to the injectors. I had all my injectors clean and the car runs much better. The mechanic also confirmed my suspicions that the cat is clogged and needs to be tackled asap. The cat rattles a bit and the hot exhaust warning frequently lights up when driving after getting the injectors clean. In my introduction I was asked about what modification I might be interested in and mentioned a cat delete. From what I was told, this is not really beneficial on the RB20DE and there are more cons than pros.  Could perhaps anyone give some suggestions on what the best course of action would be since the current cat is toast and needs to be removed/replaced anyway? I can also sometimes smell a strong smell of fuel, but I'm not sure if this is related.

      When I was replacing my pump due to being stranded in the wrong state, I went with the Deatschwerks 320lph kit. It is a direct plug in to the stock wires, harness, everything. It comes with a plug... but you can plug the OEM plug directly into this thing. https://justjap.com/products/deatschwerks-dw300-fuel-pump-nissan-s13-silvia-r32-r33-r34-skyline-c34-stagea?currency=AUD Downside: Won't actually flow that much on boost if you want to push it on E85, but it's comparable to the 040/255 etc. Little more actually.
