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.

      Just a follow-up on this topic. From what I can tell so far the rusty residue on the engine block might be unrelated to a coolant leak or maybe just older than anticipated. After driving it from the winter garage to my friend's garage I could not see any new traces of coolant leaking there, but I will test this properly once I was able to fully warm up the car and drive it for a bit. I think I can agree that the whole porous engine block stuff is kind of nonsense, but there is just a silly amount of true, false and half-true information on anything Skyline-related on the internet.

      R33 GTS25 NA - Stalling when vehicle is at operating temp

      By DRoc81 · Posted

      I removed the IACV, cleaned it and reinstalled.  I found a video on youtube that helped with the whole process, the guy then said the idle needed to be set, so the process was to get the vehicle up to operating temperature, unplug the TPS, set the idle screw in the IACV so the RPMs were around 600, then plug the TPS back in.  After I reinstalled the IACV, the car started (because, it was a cold start), once it warmed up, the car died, I adjusted the idle screw to see if that helped anything, it did not, I had to wait about 3-5 minutes, then the car would start back up. Only to shortly cut out, and only crank.  I loosened the TPS to see if adjusting that would do anything, and when I would rotate the sensor clockwise, there was a humming noise, but it would go away when I got the sensor in the horizontal position.  It only made the hum noise with the key on.  What do you guys think? 20250414_172604.mp4

      Troubleshooting - motor wont turn over

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Quick update.  The engine grounding strap was replaced, the engine is now happily running.  Tested the voltage drop before replacing the strap, was about 1.2ish volts down between engine to battery, chassis to battery. With the new grounding strap, pretty much no voltage drop at all.
