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.

    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
    • OK, so regardless of whether you did Step 1 - Spill Step 2 - Trans pan removal Step 3 - TCM removal we are on to the clean and refill. First, have a good look at the oil pan. While you might see dirty oil and some carbony build up (I did), what you don't want to see is any metal particles on the magnets, or sparkles in the oil (thankfully not). Give it all a good clean, particularly the magnets, and put the new gasket on if you have one (or, just cross your fingers) Replacement of the Valve body (if you removed it) is the "reverse of assembly". Thread the electrical socket back up through the trans case, hold the valve body up and put in the bolts you removed, with the correct lengths in the correct locations Torque for the bolts in 8Nm only so I hope you have that torque wrench handy (it feels really loose). Plug the output speed sensor back in and clip the wiring into the 2 clips, replace the spring clip on the TCM socket and plug it back into the car loom. For the pan, the workshop manual states the following order: Again, the torque is 8Nm only.
