Hello

I have a R32 GTST with a RB20 DET.

I am planning to build the engine but before I do I want to get some info on the RB25.

What are its strengths and weaknesses?

How is it when put into a R32 GTST?

What are the pros and cons of putting that engine in a R32 GTST?

There have been literally millions of words written about this. Do a basic search first.

Ive done a search, I want to get up to date experiences. I spend about 8 hours plus research this on many sites.

Not just that, but we've all been saying it to Yoshii since he emerged, and those experiences are definitely up to date. I only did my Neo32 transplant a couple of years ago.

f**king awesome.

I read some things about the RB25 and I thought I read several places that something about the oil pump or something to do with the oil that the RB25 has trouble with more compared to the RB20. I've actually heard a few people where I live mention the 25 is not all of that and its keep what I have or go RB26 or GTR(This is from tuning shops also). So I want to hear from people who have the engine in their car and who has done the change so I can ask about how it drives, speed, etc. Reading old posts from years ago(which I have) is not going to completely help because I am not going to try to PM someone or reply to a 2-10 year old posts.

I dont know how to express my laughter at that post. What an outrageous response.

Implying that there is not enough documentation about a) how the motor performs and b) WELL KNOWN oil issues

Its almost the single most popular conversion ever

HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH

Maybe you don't understand, I am wanting to speak to someone here and now so I can ask that person hear and now. Maybe I have specific questions about the engine or their experiences with the engine, what problems they may have had, what things that helped them, etc.

I reckon I'll be buried with mine..................gunna be crowded though, already have two motorbikes to throw in as well. Any vehicle that can be pushed as hard with a standard motor - such as the humble RB25 or 26 - to the point where you can get more than twice the power output for every day reliable street use for stuff all $$$ and TBH minimal mods deserves respect.

I honestly cannot see the point of your thread.........but its a free world until you shoot someone!!!

    • Right, its been a while for updating this car, but I made some small but important progress today. In the end I bought an Ecutek dongle from the Australian distributor Tunehouse (for local hardware support) but have gone with a remote tune from Racebox in the US (because they have done millions of these, and I could not find any tuner where I could access the tune anyway as they are all password locked). The App is reasonably easy to work with, but the PC software reminds me of Haltech's ECU Manager that you need to use with the Plat Pro ECUs, it is a nightmare.  Anyway, I sent the details over, got back a tune file and a request for data logs. I finally got a chance to access a private test track today as they want redline logs in 3rd and 4th, and have sent them back for the first round of reviews. The main difference in the tune is going from 1.0 (stock) to 1.3 bar (19psi), although I'm sure is a lot of other stuff in the background. Keeping in mind this is a dead stock car with 125,000klm, this is what the App's performance test claimed: Before After Interesting to note that both 400m tests had the same terminal speed (158klm/h) but different ETs. And no, the speed limiter seems to be higher than that at 186kl/h. Summary of the key logged parameters for the 3rd and 4th gear runs were: Those little turbos were certainly whizzing at 200,000rpm+.  Also I'm really not that excited about oil pressure 55psi at redline so I think I'll go thicker than 5w30 (nissan recommend 0w20....) and see if that improves it. Other than that (and the big boost spike....) everything looks good as a start to me.
    • Just one more post to show the final result and the original "janky" solution for a laugh. Everything feels really tight and no wobbling at all, very pleased 🙂
    • After drying a few days, time to put her back together 
    • The hot exhaust light will come on not from just the cat being blocked, but it's just a temp sensor, and it's designed to warn you to not do things like park in long grass.   If you've been pushing the motor a bit, it can cause the light to come on.   Second if the cat is rattling, I'd suspect it's not blocked, but instead falling apart inside.   The easiest "fix" until you can get a cat put back in, is to unbolt your one, bash the rest of the insides out, and then bolt it back in.   For a daily driver/street car, I am in agreeance of put a cat in the car. If it were race car I wouldn't care if it were removed.
