Hey,

I was just wondering if I have everything I need to put my new turbo on my car and also any advice with the max level of boost I should be running etc..

Current Mods:

Hks Cat-Back, Trust Front pipe

APEXi Filter

Tomei Fuel-pump

Greddy Profec A EBC

FMIC (chinacopy)

D2 coilovers

Heavy Duty Clutch

17inch rims with Potenza GIII 235

Parts on there way/Not on the car yet:

Nismo 740cc Injectors

PFC

Z32 AFM

SplitFire coil-packs

HKS gt2835 Pro S kit (hks dump, hks induction kit etc etc)

Here come my question ;)

-Do I need a Fuel regulator?

-I was thinking of adding a Tomei Head-Gasket to the list to lower the compression and maybe a manifold- I have not been able to find a good low-mount, non-gate manifold for the rb25 (is this needed or can I do it later?)

-What is the safety max level of boost I can run before I starting putting excesses stress on my engine?

-Would aiming for around 300-330rwhp and a safe (rich) tune be the go to keep my engine alive?

-Once I have install the PFC + injectors + z32, is there something I must do so that I can drive the car to get tune (e.g. what do I setup on the pfc so the car will go)

Any other input, would be much appreciated

Thanks Michael :(

1) stock fuel reg is fine

2) get one made then, but its not something you "have" to get

3 & 4) Not a question of boost really... 260/270rwkw is generally accepted as the limit for a stocker motor. Your 240rwkw/330rwhp is easily safe, just get it tuned right and your fine. Doesnt have to be overtly "rich" or whatever. Just a solid no ping tune.

5) ugh... search button there. Few settings you'll need to change i think, its been covered before by someone doing the same thing... but stuffed if i can remember when

Should be a solid street package. Very responsive to drive indeed

Oh, also other things

if you get a chance measure pressure drop before/after cooler.

Just incase the china copy is a little dodge ;)

Measuring the pressure will show-up if its a restriction right away.

you wont need splitfire coils unless yours are stuffed. Save the cash and buy them when yours die, they could last another few years :(

nismo 740's definately gonna flow enough, 555 or something would be better as thats all you'll need with that setup

thanks Nismoid,

well do the search about the pfc ;)

My coilpacks are dieing, im running 0.4gap on my spark-plugs and if i boost above 0.6bar, i get major missfire :S

I through the nismo 740cc injectors may be overkill by they are like only 4000yen ($55) more than the 555cc , so might as well :(

thanks again for the quick and very helpful reply :)

be sure to get your suspension and tyre setup looked into as well, with that sort of power you will certainly fry tyres with stock camber setup. the result is in the inner 10cms of tread bald and outer 15cms perfect traction left, as when you dump it the rear end squats and the tyres will sag inwards and only wear on the contact area. will result in quick tyre wear and only utilising say %50 of tyres width

^^ you should probably have a read of that thread, too.

A quick (but related) question - i too have 740cc injectors about to go in, they are waaay overkill for my setup i know. i mainly got them as i know i'll get a larger turbo one day soonish.

what are the adverse effects? some shops are telling me the idle and low-load economy will be suffering. and a few others say it's not a big issue. hrmmm........

i was using 740's also ;)

i had no problems. Just saying if he hasnt purchased them, or thought there were "needed" that they arent.

But are good insurance, and stuff all extra if you plan on going bigger later on :(

My idle with 740cc/PowerFC was exactly the same as stock. YOu'd never know it has 740's in there. Fuel economy was a little worse, but then i had changed to a larger turbo than what i had among other things so for me economy i would say was fine.

Anyone who says you will have problems with idle doesnt know what they are doing, and i certainly wouldnt be taking my car there if they cant get something simple like that correct.

cheers -ash

Thanks Ash. That's reassuring to know.

My car is getting Racepaced in a few days, so i'm not terribly worried. Excited, though - yes! ;) looking forward to seeing what my humble GTRS is capable of...

just an update :)

pfc, afm and injectors are need..

waiting for my gasket from hks, should be here in the next few weeks then its off to the tuners to hopfully smash out a 350rwhp on a tied old rb25 with 100,000km+

also looking to install my antilag system this weekend if i get the time :P

2835 Pro S doesn't need anti lag. What it does need is money spent on the wastegate/boost controller.

You'll never need 740cc injectors with that set up either, 555's are heaps.

Go for a drive in a 2835 equipped car before you spend the dollars.

Traction and boost control are the 2-worries, certainly not lag.

I have HKS 2835 Pro S in my R33 GTS-T.. with PFC + 740 nismos, plasmaman FMIC + plenum, etc.

I invested in Turbosmart e-boost2... these are excellent.

I'm getting TEIN type flex coilovers + Kaaz 1.5 way LSD to fix the traction problem...

Yes, you'll absolutely love the turbo.

awsome, how much power are you making?

im going to get a 2way Kaaz lsd very soon, as i use the car for drifting and well the stock lsd just wont cut it i think hehhe.

ohh and i found coilovers made a heap of difference to my handleing :D

Busky2k: are you saying that they wont help at all?

Although I am no suspension expert, the stiffer springs and shocks can reduce the weight transfer upon launching ie less rear squat. But its not a dead end for sure, getting the correct camber, toe and tyres can affect traction in a huge way.

    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.  
    • For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!
    • Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛
