yeah i think i might sell the turbo and put a power fc in. at the moment, when i turn up the boost the skyline isnt handling it. i set it at 11 psi and it jolts and splatters right up until 5000rpm then it takes off smoothly and well. its kinda like theres something delaying the boost until 5000rpm and then it throws it all at it at once. either that or i think the boost may be venting somewhere. the BOV isnt working either, i can hear the pressure shooting through the air pod. ever heard of something like this before????

Dude..

You are getting so far ahead of yourself it’s not funny.

Stop, take a breath and do some searches on these forums.

Firstly, you have an essentially stock car.

So you really should go through the stages of modifications to make sure all is well and you don’t end up lunching an rb25.

Now.

What mods to do first…

Save you some searching time as it gets a little cluttered here..

And I feel sorry for you a little cause you seem to have come across someone who has now obviously ripped you off and gave you bad advice.

Start here..

Just like with everything in life, you need to have a goal.

We seem to have found that out now.

You want a “quick street car”

I agree with NIZMOID that a quick street car is up to about 250rwkw…

Achievable, streetable and most likely reliable.

See if you can get your money back for that turbo.

If you can great.

If not, sell it on these forums to someone who can make some use of it.

If you want to know what mods will net you about 250rwkw, have a look at the rb25 dyno thread and see what mods people have and what power they make..

Here.. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...showtopic=55845

This should be a good starting point for you.

Then continue on here..

Good luck

i went back to the place i bought it from and surprisingly enough theyve gone backrupt and can only get a credit back on the turbo which is no good to them because theyre selling everything. now i need your guys help to sell it. can someone help me? ive lost quiet abit of money now cos i paid over $2000 for it and have no idea how much i could sell it for.. help anyone?????????????????

its a garrett 3582R or sumthing along those lines. it isnt a 3540 i know that for sure.

Sorry, sounds like it's what is commonly called a 3540 anyway. Garrett GT3582R is a GT35 with a 0.82 rear IIRC?!?!?

Sell it soon and get a highflow.

Adrian

might be interested in swapping it for a highflow + some cash, ill do some figures and work it out for you, see if its worthwhile.

yeah im all for selling it because i cant afford all the things i need to back it up.. can anyone help me sell it?
sell your monstor turbo

buy this http://www.nengun.com/catalogue/product/26

than buy a 040 fuel pump

than buy a Z32 AFM

than buy a decent boost controller

you can easily get the gtrs tuned safely to around 250rwkw without to much to worry about and if you wish to push it further.. add a set of pon cams and up the boost

Im with you on this one either the

HKS PROS

HKS 2535

highflo standard

wouldnt bother with a 700hp turbo on a RB25 'lag city' and without forged internals you are not going to get the full potential out of it .

is a 3582R the same turbo as a 35/40 with a .82 rear housing?

Exactly the same mate.

The 3582r is the same as a gt3540 with a .82 rear housing - hence the 82 on the end.

Anyway ive got a GT3540 and i put it on my r33 thinking it was simple. How wrong was i.

I ended up having to purchase all this extra stuff.

Exhaust manifold

Inlet Plenum

Intercooler and pipes

Injectors

Oil and Water lines (went to braided items)

Megga expensive. If i could go back to where you are now I would and I would get a nice bolt on hks turbo kept my old setup and drive away in no time at all.

Instead i had to have the car off the road for 7 months while i saved and purchased all the extra items. But now that its all over - I got a 3 litre btw - I have a setup that if tuned properly i could bag way over 300rwkw.

But atm im sitting on 260rwkw and very happy on the street. My lag is not very huge because i have a 3 litre.. i get full boost 16psi by about 3300rpm which is damn nice on the street.

Try one of them kkr turbo's or something.. cheap and easy and get nice power.

good luck with it.

    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
