Hi, as i was looking for a car, i came across one with a rb25det, what i presume is stock turbo ("t28" he said), with a big fmic, at least 2.5" exhaust, aside from that i assume its relatively stock....

would this be capable of close to 185rwkw @ 10psi?

also what is the stock turbo on the rb25? is there any way to identify it? i looked around the site, but it doesnt seem to have definite "specs" for this. it seems almost assumed knowledge, which isnt good for those who dont know it :)

BullSh*t!! RB25DET....stock everything except fmic and exhaust isn't going to be anywhere near 185rwkw it would be around 130 to 135rwkw at the most. It has the potential for about 180 to 200rwkw but you would have to do a lot more than that to it.

I have 166.6 Rwkw with cat back exhaust and a pod filter.

Thats it. No boost .. no nothing

Check my gallery for dyno sheets

With a podfilter, full zorst and nothing else, mine did 149rwkw... nothing special, but it's the average figure for those mods, look at Knore's...

turns out he doesnt have a dyno sheet as the printer wasnt working

guess ill just have to wait and see how it goes. i guess even if it isnt really 189rwkw, the potential will be there if its got the fmic, properly boxed pod, reasonable exhaust (it measured 89dB, so maybe its bigger than the 2.5" he thinks it is? not sure on muffler) then it may have potential

hopefully it has a decent turbo on it, though ill have no idea how to tell (see this thread: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=42546)

U will need a s-afc atleast to get 185rwkw with those other mods.

And dont believe dyno readings, u can make a dyno read as high as u want.

And 215rwkw from stock turbo seems very BS.

    • 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.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
