im really interested to see if anyone is running a gt30 500hp turbo on their rb25 on these forums with an a/r.82 exhaust housing and if so what power are they getting in rwkws and at what boost pressure and rpm does it reach full boost by with what supporting mods??? cheers carl.

in the 500hp the .63 really doesnt choke it, its when you get the slighty bigger comp wheel for the 550hp that the .63 would hold back.

i reckon the 550hp would come a damn sight close (if not make) 300rwkw on 20/22psi if in a .82 rear.

I went 270rwkw with 600hp on 17psi.

But then, when your talking 10/15kw thats a simple matter of dyno calibration really, your 280 could be 265 on the dyno i was on, or vice versa... if you see where im going with this :unsure:

Its hard to compare 10/15/20kw differences IMO.

yeah the .63 would probably be the better choice, gives better low end grunt. all the .82 would do is lag your combo out, unless you also go the bigger comp wheel as was stated earlier by R31Nismoid. all you really need to get more potential from your turbo is cam work, forget about a larger A/R turbine.

bugger all if you ask me, maybe 20rwkw which you wont really feel.

i doubt id feel 280 going to 300, maybe @ 150rwkw going to 175 or something you would :)

i went 270 to 330, that i noticed :(

wow , a few different answers there. does anyone know what the difference would be in rpm, what 300rpm , 500rpm? to spool up to full boost? i thought that posting here i might get some intelligent answers?? instead i get," i can get you a dyno print out for 300rwkws if you like". if i was just after outright power i wouldnt be playing around with such a small turbo would i? all im trying to do is discuss my options before going ahead or research before going ahead, i appreciate your help so far guys but weve come along way say since the sub zero workshop pulled 10.9 in a skyline over 5 years ago. they were using two of my turbos to pull 330rwkws . this was and is still impressive but now lots of peoples skylines are doing it and probably with less lag than is associated with two big twins. im just trying to see before i try to extract a little more. im a very happy with the way it drives at the moment and yes power does come hard at 3500/3800rpm. with boost starting at just over 2000rpm. has anybody actually driven or owned a skyline with a gt30 500hp rated turbo with a a/r.82 exhaust housing? because if it takes another 500rpm to spool the thing then know i probably would not bother but if its less than i would probably consider it.

ive already got 281rwkws with a/r.63 exhaust housing, thanks for reply anyway.

I've got the same setup making 225rwkw... can you tell me your other mods?

(I'm running standard internals and 16psi boost)

low mount stainless manifold, ces split 3 inch dump pipe into a 4 inch magic cat, then 3 inch continueing to barrell style muffler with 4.5inch tip. 600x300x80mm front mount intercooler with stock plenum and pipeing. link ecu running 550cc injectors. splitfire coils. motor has been fully rebuilt with wiseco forged pistons on prepped gtr rods. running 8.5 to 1 comp. head mild port, running tomei poncams step ones 256inlet and exhaust, no adjustable cam gears. 600hp bosche fuel pump. i hope i havent left anything out.

    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
    • I assume clearances were all a-okay?
