Rb25De How Fast/economical

[Karnicle]

Just wondering how economical the Rb25de is? Considering buying a R34 GT not so fussy on how fast it is. Just wanna know if the engine is quite reliable compared to it's turbo counterpart. Also how big is the fuel tank on the GT

Sorry i always get loose information from here and there just wanna get facts from proper Skyline owners

Also are the only real mods on the rb25de performance wise just like improving air intake n like poppin on a pod filter?

Bump, also can i just shove a gt-t engine in when I'm on my opens?

No engines from GT-t's go in the boot unfortunately. And the wiring loom goes to the left wheels only.

RB25DE's aren't that economical for the power they put out- by todays standards. They are also fairly revvy for a 6 cylinder which means you will, and it will use more juice. Normal city driving will see 10-12L per 100km.

Pod filters will only make you use more fuel as they are basically a hot air intake that doesn't enable any easier breathing of the motor.

Leave on stock airbox for best economy and power.

They are reliable motors but are getting older now and have probably had km wound off them in the import process.

Don't do the GT+T thing or putting in a GT-T motor into the GT chassis. It is a silly waste of time and money vs selling it and just buying a turbo when the time comes.

No performance mods for an na that are worth while.

No you can't just put in a gtt engine. There's HEAPS of differences.

The only n/a id probably turbo is a GT-V, only because the whole car has GTT components fitted from factory...apart from the motor and turbo itself.

This question gets asked on a weekly basis almost. Check out the other threads that were posted and make your mind up.

Or a gt-4. Very much worth dropping an rb26 into them

ahh, now i shall find a nice GT and purchase it and finally stop fkn around and looking at cars....

I'll hope to maintain the engine squeeky clean and oil that baby up as soon as it is needed.

let the OCD cleanliness and maintenance begin!

now just to find a good GT for around 10k

Yes! I reckon even a Rb25DET would do well in a GT-4 As i recall, nissan didnt want to turbo charge the GT-4 as its performance might be too close to the more expensive GTR. Think i read it on wiki

Neo is the better choice if dropping in engines.

Vct wins. If you really want twin turbos put them on a neo.

Hmm thats not too bad moneywise for fuel... maintenance oil etc doesn't sound that bad.
