Cheers

what result did you get eg what power @ what psi. when did it hit full boost, how user freindly was it?

which exhaust housing was it

car tuned again tonight. found the turbo had a leaking oil seal. oil through out the coolerpiping and intercooler. yay. blows smoke like thomas the tank engine.

still going to run this weekends drift day but we left the 5psi boost it had. i need to sort it by next weekend thoe for drift australia.

rb25de+t is an orsome combo. very pleased i did it.

Hi mate,

Had the .82 houseing on it!

Max power had it up to was about 283rwkw on 18-19psi and full boost about 3900-4000rpm (big cams). Need a surge tank setup and would have made 300. But that was on a built motor aswell.

As for user friendly there is not such thing! In the wet forget up touch boost unless your ready to hang on!

But other than that its a great turbo and in the dry if you drive it right its great!

Probably got a couple of old dyno sheets some where!

I think the guy that bought the car off me has a heap that i left in the car to!

But let me know how you go with it

Cheers

i had some dash plastics on the rx7 retrimmed to block off some useless controls (heater, cd, ashtray, lighter etc). looks heaps better than the scratchy plastic coating that used to be on display. going to fill the stezza din space with that sheet of carbon and mount some switches and the fc commander on it.

hey guys well my car has been off the road now for about 4 months im doing the rb25det head to rb30et bottom end rebuild, my car was lacking power so i stripped the whole rb25det engine down and found 6 cracked pistons, bought a complete rb30 engine from the wreckers for about 350 dollars striped that down, sent my block do get acid cleaned, bored, and honed

Im waiting on my head to get back from getting a rebuild and my crankshaft pulley,clutch,flywheel,cranshaft,rods and pistons from getting balanced one i get that back we can start building my engine

i got a complete rebuild kit to suit the engine im building this includes

1mm ACL MLS Headgasket

Forged 20 thou oversized CP Pistons

Precision H-Beam Rods

Bearings,Gaskets,seals

other items i have bought to date include

Apexi Power FC

T3/T4 turbo

Extreme heavy duty clutch

Extreme light weight chrome-molly flywheel

aftermarket smaller crankshaft pulley

Walbro fuel pump

fuel regulator

items i need to finish the job

N1 oil pump

M1 water pump

thermo fan

surge tank

740cc nismo injectors

surge tank

oil catch can

split fire coil packs

Q45 throttle body

Q45 airflow meter

Plazmaman plenum or greddy plenum

new pipework

cant wait to its finally finished missing it already hoping to get around the 300rwkw mark so far it has cost me alot of money and time but in the end i hope it will be worth it

im doing the 25/30 thing at the moment. It will be nice to have more torque over the 25.

Yeah it gets expensive fast. My bottom end was over 8K to have built. But my goal is a little more than 300kw as my 25 made 399kw

Good luck with it anyway

    • Shove more foam in it as a minimum if you possibly can. Or steel wool (not the stuff with soap on it!) Baffles / getting the oil out of the air is huge, and should be done at both the cam cover, and the catch can.   I'm about to do a power steering reservoir, and even that needs some thought to make sure air is separated from the oil, to stop evil Cavitation. I'll probably look at doing my own catchcan later on too.
    • I was once told, who it was I'm to old to remember, that the length of the OEM wheels brace supplied with a vehicle is designed long enough for a average person to apply enough torque to do up, and undo the wheel nuts to the specified torque  What a average person is is anyone's guess though, i.e. average fat bastard, average knuckle head, average perfect sized human......like me Unless of course, a tyre shop has ugga dugga'd them up to "torque to yeild/strip" specs, used cross threading as natures lock tight, or a big breaker bar was used to tighten them up to get some nice stretch in the poor old wheel studs Me, I torque wheel nuts to 1 elbow joint click, lower torque settings are based of wrist clicks, higher torque settings are based of shoulder clunks, or total dislocation for anything that requires all of the torques 
    • I think the catch can design is pretty flawed. Evident in the fact that the V2 one moved to a larger top mounted filter which alone would have helped with overflow and reduce restrictions compared with the side filter. I also imagine there was a major improvement to the baffling design. It is worth mentioning that this catch can with the RB20 was never as much of an issue and the high kms RB25 is likely a part of the problem. I have gotten quotes for both a new "Vibrant Gen 3" catch can and to modify this existing ones but that may have to wait until after the track day. I hope the sump/head breathers/drains and cam splash plates will be enough
    • Yep, both. The ratio is 1.8 instead of OEM being 1.7. The rocker bodies are modified with a larger bolt hole and re-threaded with 10mm holes instead of the 8mm YT has stock. Finding out they don't actually fit the stock castings cause a lot of un-impressment by the person in the USA who tapped the new holes for the 'upgraded' YT product. He was very unhappy with them given their previous design did not require 'clearancing'
    • That too, but I think this is why she's put the work into the cam cover baffles. I mean, a catch can should only need to be a catch can, not an oil air separator also. Not to say that putting the effort into having it do a better job of oil-air sep is a waste of time, but doing the sep earlier is always going to make life better. And that should happen now anyway.
