hey guys im from perth and i wanted to no if its worth puttin a rb25det into my r32 gtst. the rb20 is okay but i want more power and from wat i look at in the rb20 mods page compared to the rb25 thread, its pretty clear wich is better. ive got 7grand to play with. :dry:

cheers

Not much point... for 7k you might get a stock rb25 engine into your car thats about it if you did it on the cheap. Good idea if you want the car for quiet along time and want to get 350+rwhp with the R32 gtst.

On the other hand 7k will get you 250+rwhp if you use your money wisely on the rb20 and if you want anywhere up to 320-330rwhp the rb20 will be fine which is heaps for rwd street car!

If your going for a convertion on a r32 i think the rb26 is a lot easyer to do than a rb25. Also you wouldnt need to spend $7000 to make a rb20 more powerfull than a stock rb25 and you less likey to do the rings on your rb20 if your thinking about running more than 1 bar boost.

try 5k at the absolute worst.

Motor & loom & labour to fit i would envisage a 5k or less pricetag. Its dependant if you fit an RB25 box or not.

For a stock turbo'd RB25 motor, the stock RB20 box will hold no problem anyway IMO. So not worth changing.

So yeah, under 5k easily

yeah cheers for the input, wouldnt a rb26 be pretty expenisve and would u need the different gearbox and other stuff like that correct me if im wrong. yeah i want the car for awhile its mint condition its got 20's on it but i wanna change them to bloody expesive for tryes. hyperdrive said id get the complete motor for 2.5k or 3grand, and instal is 1500, and they said wit the rest of them money do injectors ,z32afm, fuel pump, powerfc.

i think it sounds orright. are hyperdrive good, if herd really good stuf about em but i thought id ask u guys aswell.

Sorry I meant, rb25 + box + ecu/loom + install charges would get up closer to that 7k mark.

I guess alot depends on where u get the motor and who installs it!

Hyperdrive is excellent and only do top work :dry: Check the 34 V-spec out the front if you are unsure along with the many other GTR's around that place!!

  • 2 weeks later...

lol.. yeah

get the engine done, then put it in if you really want to go that way. I'd ask why though? that sort of power won't be that useable to drive around with..

You can get a basic rb25 engine package (no gearbox) for around $2k with loom and ecu..

My conversion cost $1600 for the engine loom/ecu and about $300 of the misc stuff I needed (labour was me therefore free). Bit of a special price though, guy sold his old car and just wanted it gone.

Hi i have a rb25det in a r32 it was worth it, all up it cost 1,400 and 3,000 for the 25 I have a r33 computer in it and loom, stock gear box and diff, stock intercooler stock exhaust the boost is a 11psi and it goes hard. i thinck a good 13.2 to 12.8

I could not thinck how hard it will go with all the mods eg. a good 310 rwkw.

Also we did the rear grads a bit bigger than a GTR looks tuff with the 19”s

I'm selling a NEO RB25 for $2500 but not in Perth sorry. That gives you an idea of what you can get. $1800-$2500 for the engine with loom, turbo, ecu, add $1500 for fitting and you're away. Call it $4000 but allow a few dollars for the unforseen.

How far could you take your RB20 for $4500? Probably a fair way... but would $3800 get you as far? Dunno.

    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
