Hmmm doing my own HUGE turbo conversion myself at the moment.

GT35/40R, custom high mount manifold, plazmaman inlet plenum, wolf 3d v4+, tomei fuel pump, 550cc injectors, and all the other usual's. All i'm hoping for is 250rwkw, though it seems you guys/gals are getting more out of stock engines than i thought you'd wanna push. Has anyone got any dyno's in shootout mode??

Also as i've got the head off atm, would you guys/gals recommend standard head gasket, or 1.2mm or what??

Why not have a look at the link below to the turbo upgrades thread:

RB25 turbo upgrades

Find a member's car with around the power output you are looking for and see what turbo they are using...then check the dyno graph to see if the power delivery will be acceptable for you. There are pages of info on setups that are already in use by members.

I have the 3540 and it is too big if you want 250kw.

Cams will fatten up mid range depending on what you run, 256 with 8.5mm lift are most common on Rb25 and work well. but you didnt mention anything about replacing valve springs, highly recomended to do this before installing camshafts, as standard springs are at their limit at about 22psi at 7000rpm. When you oder cams order RB20 inlet cam so you can fit adjustable cam gear.

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?

Hey BezerkR32!

Which tomei cam is best for my current setup listed? Lash type 256 with 8.5 lift?

I don't plan to boost higher than 1.25bar, and i'm probably going to keep the stock redline, until i can afford to dump more money

My block is stock at the moment.

My current plan was to buy and install the following:

Tomei camshafts, cam gears, 1.2 headgasket, timing belt, and your new recommendation for valve springs.

I'm also trying to figure out the part numbers on Tomei website.

If I'm going with the PROCAM + Adjust pulley (Alminium IN,EX) package, wouldn't the package be specific to the RB25DET? Being that the cam gears will fit on the camshafts? Do I specifically have to tell them that I want an RB20 inlet cam? **just a lil confused**

Lastly, for the Valve Springs, should I go with the 8.8mm lift?

EDIT: I forgot to mention my engine harness / ecu setup. My car is an 89 HCR32 GST-T. The engine is an 1994 RB25DET using the stock rb20 engine harness. vvt is not hooked up. injectors are top fed. The ECU is from a Z32, Mines Tuned. Using piggy back SAFC2 to control af.

Is vvt THAT important? What kind of performance am i losing here??

Thanks for the help!!!

i still dont get the graph, the more i look at it the more odd it seems.

On one side its either been deliberately tuned to be laggy, ie no ignition to get it going...

Yet, on the other side its making a reasonable amount more top end power than anyone else has before @ 1 bar with the 550/600hp Garretts...

Hmm.. Cefiro, do you have a dyno sheet with the AFR's on it?

Also first thing i would be doing is getting a better ECU.

If your on a budget and you have to choose between cams and ECU, ECU is the pick there

I'll try to dig and see if i can find the sheet with the AFR's.

I remember it not being a graph, but a print out sheet with AFR's at certain rpms and boost.

The problem right now is my wierd engine harness setup.

I'm using my stock RB20DET engine harness connected to the RB25DET. Since the pins on RB25 ecus are different than RB20 harness, i opted for a Z32 turbo ecu that plugged right in.

Besides the fact that i'm missing VVT, the car runs awesome and AFR numbers are good. Although, lowend power is teh sucks.

What ECU / standalone management can I run to control the RB25 on my RB20 harness?

Will I have to go and source an RB25 engine harness?

If you were wondering why im not running an rb25 harness in the first place, it was because the place i bought the motor from did not have the harness with the motor (scored the motor for a crzy price).

    • Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣
    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
