jimi: easy man, we can do it one afternoon. just need a couple of cans of WD40, those manifold bolts are bitches to get off!!

joe: hard, you need new manifold, turbo, intake piping, will kill your gearbox and clutch after a while cos of extra power. just buy a turbo'ed car

:uh-huh:

I am also very interested in seeing if oil feeds and other anciliaries bolt back on without a hassle. So basically on an RB20 all you have to do is buy new gaskets and rotate the housing? Sounds too simple to be true. I have access to a VG30 item and I'm very interested to hear the how to and any problems anyone has encountered, before I roll my wallet out and my sleeves up.

Waiting patiently

p.s also safe boost level on VG30 snail with stock R32 apart from cat-back and bleed valve. thanks :D

thats the other thing i was gunah say jimi

theres a few things u might wonah do before bolting on the turbo... a good pod filter/panel filter, boost guage, possibly intercooler. id say get a boost guage, pod filter, boost the std turbo then wait til uve got a FMIC and fuel pump to take full advantage of the VG30...

heheh mmmm looks like I'm gonna need to do some things before leaping into this hehehe

well I was gonna fit the bleed valve and boost guage after exams and then hopefully find a FMIC somewhere too.

guess I'll just wait a little while for this turbo.

Same goes to putting turbo on RB25DE! How hard is it?

chees

Joe

R U serious Joe?

RB25DE and DET arent the same engine really as such..

The DET has stronger internals and lower compresion, totally different exhaust manifold setup to just name a few...

It would be easier to sell yours and buy a turbo like you should ov done to start with rice boy!

JimiH as in turbo upgrades the T3 vg30 is not a hard upgrade compared to alot of others, altho u have to check oil and water lines match up and dump pipe is the same bolt pattern as the guys have already mentioned..

T3 wheels are a fair bit bigger than the standard T25 ;) ya cant go wrong!

And that comes from the LagMasterAdam32

2 choices that u can do.

Hi flow your existing turbo and no other mods

or Buy a T3 and rebuild it then posible mounting issues because T3s come from VL Turbos and 300zxs or the like.

The T25 has to go ;)

You can run a modified turbo with no other mods such as FMIC and Retuned fuel curve but u wont get much benifit until these are both done + u will be running minimal boos without a fmic if u whacked on da turb first!

Cheers

Joe

I mean Mac

well it depends on how much power you want to make and how much lag you want to deal with!  

the VG30 should make 280-300rwhp. is that enough for u?

300rwhp is is really maxing the VG30 out!!

Go for sumthing bigger where u wont have to have it runnin at its peak.

    • I mean, I can confirm the TPS is at 100%.... I can confirm when we installed the TB and setup the cable that the TB was indeed fully open at max pedal travel.. the same 'curve' (WRT MAP vs MAP) existed with the previous setup/TB/manifold as well... No, we did not do a run with no intake connected. I would love to go back in time to do such a run to rule out the intake. It would have also been good to do a run with the airbox lid off. There's a test there where increased IAT vs more available air could be a positive tradeoff. I remember taking the lid off my R34 Turbo setup back in the day and noticing a monster increase, even if IAT's did go up. Could be similar. Hard to test unless I find a very deserted road. 
    • That's actually encouraging to be honest. my motor was rebuild many years ago but it's probably done less than 30,000kms and fucc all limiter or drift, majority street / drag / roll racing. It'll be fine 馃挭馃徏 I don't even have lines or a can for the cam breathers installed yet, there is zero oil residue or splatter on or around them, it drives beautifully so it seems healthy. Just a ticky lifter, yet they're almost brand new oem genuine Nissan and haven't done many kms at all...
    • Have you confirmed the throttle body goes to WOT (and stays there) during the run?
    • I'm having a problem. I think it was mentioned above somewhere but can't see it.  I'm stuck in the cycle of, sand, filler, low spot again, put filler, sand, low spot again, now i put filler again and a thicker portion which seems to have helped but I got low spots in other areas. In the image. Circled in red thats where the original low spot was and the shape is the same as the red out line. I've more or less fixed that (still low spot up the top but now I have low spots where the green circled part is.  Is likely the issue that I didn't start with a course sand paper? I sanded the filler with 240 to reduce the risk of not going to far but maybe the issue is that I'm only taking off enough material to remove some of the filler but not the high spots. I now started sanding with 120 and I think I'm seeing a difference. I did fix one dent the other 2 are f**ked and seems like I made another low spot which is indicated by the furthest green circle on the left handside. Any thoughts and solutions?   Also second image. All of these rock chips, can they be filled in with primer or do i need to fill them all with filler/putty? So many rock chips on mine lol.
    • Well, I had an Edward Lee's special edition odo windback car/motor with a RB25DET S2 and I put down 372kW with a good amount of track abuse for 1.5 years before the ring lands decided it didn't want to stick around anymore 馃ゲ But probably didn't help I kept on smashing try limiter on the track and a few skid pans.
