I'm looking to pull 420 - 450 rwhp on the R33 RB25. Got the basics, large fmic, highmount manifold, 4 inch dump and Apexi Power FC. Just looking at what else I need to add??

Fuel Pump Bosch 044 ??

550cc injectors ?? ( currently they are stock)

Turbo - GT3040 or GT3540 ??

Thanks in advance for the advice.

GT35 is required, boost late in the 4000rpm. 1st and 2nd gears will be mostly uselsss

Make sure you budget for the rebuild. No telling how long the motor will last @ that level.

1st and 2nd gears will be mostly uselsss

carnt say that

maybe first but second isnt useless

Mate if you get the GT30 its more streetable

the GT35 you will have big TRACTION problems

These questions are for a mate who isnt a member (no puter).

I have told him to phone you re your GT3540 that is for sale.

The turbo is not only for sale

the whole package is

i will not be seperating the package as i will probly be stuck with parts that i carnt use on my next package that i just purchased

I found with my GT30 second really didnt give a lot of thrust, so it wasnt working hard. And thats without wheelspin.

So i would envisage the GT35 to be worse being its larger, comes on later and therefore would snowball

The gearing doesnt allow it to really load up unlike 3rd/4th which is good enough to allow a big GT35 to get into good movement.

these are the mods on mine:

G-Max Wheels rear: 18x9.5 with 265’s front: 18x8.5

Tein hight and rebound adjustable suspension

Full 3inch custom exhaust with Magic Cat and twin Mufflers

T04 turbo on X-Force highmount manifold

Turbosmart 48mm Pro-Gate wastegate

100mm think Front Mount Inter Cooler

Blitz blow off valve

Sard fuel pressure Regulator

Sard 550cc injectors

Walbro 500 horsepower fuel pump

Motec Enginge Management System

Exceedy 5 puck clutch

Pod air filter

Oil catch can

Thermo fan

Bonnet vents

Isotta Steering wheel

DBA 4000series sloted disks alround with braided lines

Braided fuel-line, blow-by, breather and radiator overflow hoses

New chrome radiator overflow tank

Gates Racing radiator hoses

Viper 790VX Pager car alarm

She is going through an RB30 bottom end conversion at the moment, but with those mods listed above, she was dynoed at 365rwhp at 14psi.

might not be helpful but a

hks gt2835 pro s, rate at 420. would be able to make 400rwhp maybe alittle more and the lag of them isnt that bad, i find it comes on boost quickly and hard with min. wheel spin

of course you would need

550cc injectors or bigger (i would go 740cc they are only $50 more)

z32 afm

aftermarket ecu

bigger fuel pump

plus some suspension mods to help

get the power down (i highly recommened you buy an aftermarket lsd the stock one is shocking)

if the 2835 is too small, i would go for the gt3037 pro s

She is going through an RB30 bottom end conversion at the moment, but with those mods listed above, she was dynoed at 365rwhp at 14psi.

14psi/365 would be a fair effort in anyones stakes :P

Your graph is around 1.1bar... give or take so not quite 14psi... whats 1.1bar... i forget.

Someone will know what that is in PSI... i think 15.5 or 16?

Seems a tad laggy though, but similar to my old bucket T04 that i had moons ago.

Whats it like to drive on the street?

Really fun :P

The dyno was done before I bought the car so I really am going off what I have been told and know (which isn't much but I'm learning!)

Good luck with trying to get 400rwhp, but I think you're going to need a few more add on's than what you have, unless you want to go through an engine rebuild.

I don't know if this is going to help you at all, but these are the mods done to another R33 that was getting 472rwhp.

Unsure if he advertised on this forum, but here are two links to have a read of if you're interested in getting the same amount of hp:

Go the GT3540R, it is a great turbo and with the .82 exh housing that I have gives full boost at about 4800rpm. I have got 410.7rwhp at only 15psi, so it is easily capable of over 450rwhp with the right supporting mods. But a rebuild will be in order before winding the wick right up on boost

As R31Nismoid said, 1st gear is useless and second gear will spin on demand...you need a lot of rubber to get anything out of second...my 265's cant cope :P

I never remembered to ask ya Jason lol... how do you find it on the street?

Being it feeds in close to 5000rpm.

Where is your limiter set?

It is awesome to drive :P although it is slower than it was previously up to 4000rpm, but then the fun starts :PBJ:

The limiter is set at 8000rpm I think...I wouldn't mind putting in an RB26 crank to increase the displacement slightly, but as it is now, it still isn't that slow off boost

Cheers

Thanks for all the replies and advice guys.

The mate has settled on a GT3040R - need to keep it streetable.

4000+ before power is not much fun and similar to what the current T70 is doing.

Been priced at $1745 does this sound reasonable?

Plus one second hand T70 for sale - slight scrapping noise from the exhaust turbine, still spinning, but not happy jan!!

Hey guys,

Here my current setup that dyno'd at 403whp on an RB25DET w/ garrett GT30R, avc-r is turned off and using a 1 bar spring on the external tial gate.

Internally stock, but i am in the process of buying tomei cams, and 1.2 headgasket.

My dyno is pretty close to phee's.

You guys think the cams would aid in boosting earlier?

    • 2001 BE5D Subaru Legacy B4 RSK (3rd gen) EJ208 (pink injector) Twin Turbo 280PS 5-speed manual Full time 4WD "RSK" grade which means all of the above LQC option which means stock rear spoiler  I got it primarily to export to someone outside Japan who was interested. These BE5 Legacy B4 RSKs are going through a bit of a resurgence right know in Japan as they are one of the few cars from the "turbo, manual, RWD/4WD, 280hp gentleman's agreement era" cars that don't require stupid money to purchase. Which for some people might be a good opportunity to get as a base for restoration. If I can't find anyone to purchase it I will certainly be doing that myself over the long term. Why? Because it's properly fast in stock form, handles well enough for a GT sedan, there's still enough aftermarket and (if you can wait a while) genuine part support to make it a restoration candidate (<-- that will only get worse over time so it's a case of do it now or choose get a BL5 4th Gen). Mechanically it's fine, has only 89,200kms on the odometer. The problem with this car is that the body and exterior trims are weathered from at least the last 10 years being parked outdoors. I'm the 3rd owner, the first owner was the one that had it for 14 years and barely drove it, had a low-speed front impact (which didn't damage anything behind the radiator support) and got it fixed and sold it. The 2nd owner put most of the kms on it and parked it outside for the last 10 years, hence the door rubbers have seen better days but if you overlook those cosmetic details, it presents pretty nicely. There is some minor rust on the LH rear wheel arch which I'll have looked at too at some stage.  Also as you'd expect from a car this age, the clear top coat is gone, leaving a satin finish on the roof.  Mechanically it's fine (as you would expect from a car with less than 100K kms) but the steering does feel slightly vague around the centre position at higher speeds. So first on the list is to get the steering rack bushes looked at. There's also the Lock button on the remote which doesn't work, but the Open button does.... it means that the anti-theft system thinks it's always open? It seems like if you open the car and don't start the engine within 3 mins or so the anti-theft kicks in again without any beeps or signals. So if you got to start it after that, it won't. You have to push the open button again. That's how I understand it anyway. Just a small irritation but not a big problem to sort out. There's only one mod, the Wangan SPL muffler. Just a tad louder than stock. It's a really good mod for those who don't want to wake the neighbours but still want to hear a more prominent unequal length header EJ20 sound. Anyway I hope to get all those things done eventually, that is unless someone wanted to import it to their country from Japan (where I live). I'm open for negotiations as I really would like a Skyline... but this will definitely suffice in the meantime 🙂 *Disclaimer: This is how I picked it up from the dealer, minus the stuff on the back seat. I haven't cleaned the engine bay or done a thorough exterior clean, aside from spray painting the wipers. 
    • Wow, even with the Audi logo centre caps. I love OEM wheel mismatches. 
    • Welcome!  Can't go wrong with a Stag.
    • Looks good. Nice height.
    • Hey all, a little help from the Stagea hive mind plz.. I'm days away from buying either a 2002 Stagea 250tRS AR-X Four, premium leather, power seats and all the old switches etc that go with it, or a 2002 Stagea 250tRS VR-X Four AERO, pov pack, cloth seats etc, with coil overs, sports zorst, comes with original zorst and suspension and parts. (I think I've got the models right?) Both are VQ25DET, have 160000kms, both straight no rust both with $2000+ in recent servicing receipts, both ride on aftermarket 18" rims. The Aero has a replaced turbo as well. I like the cool factor of the Aero car but the AR-X has never been modified. Neither have been driven hardly at all in the last 5 years. Any thoughts on which one or does it come down to personal preference? davemoto
