I also installed 3 inch exhaust from the dump pipe ( 2 resonators only, no cat ) and K&N pannel filter. With the RB20DET actuatoer i was hopeing to lock boost at 10psi but the boost goes up to 11.2psi and i have huge power loss.

But with RB25DET actuatoer it holds 7psi through out the power curve and give good power.

Explain the power dip, as u mention some thing about the computer?

dude ...u may wanna check your intercooler piping clamps and make sure they are tight and not leaking ....

check for vacum leaks etc .. and u may wanna re-set ur ECU especially after u have added extra bolt - on modz.

also check the exhaust manifold for cracks and u may wanna replace the gaskets etc... if u have not done that yet ..but if igured u have since u replaced the turbz already ..

finally tried fitting my rb25 turbo onto my rb20 yesterday.

with no success.

seems my water and oil feed banjo bolts on my rb20 turbo are smaller then on the rb25 turbo i got.

all i can think of is that my rb20det engine is a series 1 engine.

is it just a case of using the original rb25 turbo banjo bolts?

or will i need the rb25 water and oil lines aswell?

any info could help me

cheers.

anyone here with first hand experience with a rb25 turbo onto a series 1 rb20 engine?

Hui - My car is Auto as well and I haven't had any issues at all.

no.. I have a s1 engine (1989) rb20, and was able to use exact same factory fittings to fit rb25 turbo.. No other changes required.

So either your "rb25 turbo" is not in fact one, or well I don't know :P

it is a rb25 turbo steel front wheel and ceramic rear wheel.

nedb. thanks mate,ill ring around for some new lines.

k,i got $120 connections for the new lines,r33 turbo is on now

i have a manual boost controller(T-piece thing)

took it for a spin, hit over 20psi so i turned it down.

also noticed it now runs heaps rough(like an old v8)

will it idle normal when i get a SAFC and get it tuned?

also i noticed the last bolt for my exhaust manifold is missing.

Now ive turned it down so far it only boosts to 5psi in first gear at 5000rpm, then easy makes 15psi in 2nd at about 4500-5000rpm.

automatic

r34smic

3"dump/frontpipe

3"highflow cat

3 1/2" fromt cat-back.

im using a rb20turbo actuator aswell,should i try removing the T-piece boost controller?

the hose from my actuator runs to the T-piece then to the compressor housing.

is that right?

    • That's awesome. Fully serviced/full log book history for one of those cars is super rare from what I know. With JDM's like Skyline's, Supras, are quite hard to find one with full log book history. S15's seem to be somewhat of an exception, at least the spec s australian delivered models.
    • Hey all, It's been a bit since I have been able to update.  I pulled the fuel pump, first off it was a "universal" pump and the strainer was very clogged, and it was folded over on itself.  I replaced the fuel pump and all is well....  No more stalling.
    • That's convinced me I'll bump up the G30-660 to 770   Any idea if the difference in boost pressure? Cheers

    • Hey guys so turns out this project is going to be much bigger than I thought haha but I've done some my homework and have done a few panels on my car, but one part I can just not visualise is this. If I do a spot repair and I put filler in a dent for example and sand outside of the repair with 320 grit lets say so the primer can stick as I will only put primer on that repair and the surrounding area and then repaint the whole panel. Don't I need to make sure that I don't put primer on the old clear coat? I keep seeing YouTube videos where people have new paint and primer land on the old clearcoat that isn't even dulled down, it's still shiny. I thought putting paint on clearcoat or primer on clearcoat is a bad idea because it won't stick. So in this scenario it's a bit different to mine but imagine someone doing a spot repair and only painting that small section of repair but the new paint is landing on the old clearcoat. What am I missing?
