I am getting my R32 back next week. I have had an RB25DET series 1 motor, and gearbox fitted. It also has a short shifter, Apexi AVC-R, heavy duty clutch, front mount, and full 3 inch exhaust with high flow cat.

Any ideas of what I can expect in terms of kw.

Boost levels are still not decided on for the AVC-R, going to have her properly tuned on a dyno, and go with the tuners suggestion.

Please keep in mind that this will be a daily driver - so boost will not be above 12psi..

If you can spend the coin then its the way to go. I havent been in dozens of modded cars, but i have been in a few, and my fav is a friends old R33/RB25 with a 2530. As a street car it was awesome, 230odd rwkws and the thing was mega responsive:thumbsup:

Im making almost that power with my RB20 but its just not the same:(

Ive got a series 1 R33 and have the same mods that you have listed.

My car just got dyno tuned and has put out 180rwkws but thats with a SAFC2 on 8.5 psi.

So if ya willing to up da boost a little more then i would say you would get bout 190rwkws and then you will be limited by your turbo coz they cant handle any more than 11 psi reliably anyway.

There was nothing wrong with the RB20. I just went in my friends RB25 R32 a few years ago, and was very impressed.

I bought the R32 very cheap to begin with, so I went for it. Just a big improvement over the RB20DET with sensible everyday driver mods.

GTST - no you can't steal the parts off it as the RB20 was sold today.

I will advise the cost when I get the final bill - hopefully it won't be a bank account tsunami.

I put a RB25DET series 2 motor, into my R32 12 months ago. At the time it was running stock boost, and achieved 155 rwkw (a good step up from 94rwkw).

You power figure will depend on how much boost you want to run. The thing that I love about the new engine, is the response of the series 2 turbo - I'm at 9psi boost by 2500rpm.

      Magnetic Drain Plug Snapped in Half

      By kevboost7 · Posted

      Update: I got the magnet out. I bought 3 different flexible magnetic reach tools, but none of them worked. The magnet on the tip was all less than 2lbs of force, so i had to buy a special cylindrical magnet that had a pull force of 9lbs.  The magnet finally came in the mail yesterday, so i got under the car to get to work. The super strong magnet isn't that long, so i only have about 1 finger pinch lengths to hold it. I was so scared when i was going in the hole, that the 9lb magnet would just fly away inside the oil pan never to be seen again, but i had my butt cheeks clenched and finger gripped on that thing so tight, i managed to get it to suck the other magnet out.  It was a victory for me last night.

      New fix for low tyre pressure from bmw

      Yep, pretty much what you said is a good summary. The aftermarket thing just attached to the rim, then has two lines out to valve stems, one to inner wheel, one to outer wheel. Some of the systems even start to air up as you head towards highway speed. IE, you're in the logging tracks, then as speeds increase it knows you're on tarmac and airs up so the driver doesn't even have to remember. I bet the ones that need driver intervention to air up end up seeing a lot more tyre wear from "forest pressures" in use on the highway!

      Anyone know this frontpipe?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Yes, but you need to do these type certifications for tuning parts. That is the absurd part here. Meaning tuning parts are very costly (generally speaking) as well as the technical test documentation for say a turbo swap with more power. It just makes modifying everything crazy expensive and complicated. That bracket has been lost in translation many years ago I assume, it was not there.

      Hahaha, yeah.... not what you'd call a tamper-proof design.... but yes, with the truck setup, the lines are always connected, but typically they sit just inside the plane of the rear metal mudguards, so if you clear the guards you clear the lines as well. Not rogue 4WD tracks with tree branches and bushes everywhere, ready to hook-up an air hose. You can do it externally like a mod, but dedicated setups air-pressurize the undriven hubs, and on driven axles you can do the same thing, or pressurize the axles (lots of designs out there for this idea)... https://www.trtaustralia.com.au/traction-air-cti-system/  for example.... ..the trouble I've got here... wrt the bimmer ad... is the last bit...they don't want to show it spinning, do they.... give all the illusion that things are moving...but no...and what the hell tyre profile is that?...25??? ...far kernel, rims would be dead inside 10klms on most roads around here.... 😃

      You're just describing how type certification works. Personally I would be shocked to discover that catalytic converter is not in the stock mounting position. Is there a bracket on the transfer case holding the catalytic converter and front pipe together? If so, it should be in stock position.
