hey

im considering making a twin turbo setup for my rb25det

consisting of a pair of custom manifolds, 3 runners each

2 t3/t4 turbo's, internal gated

and then the piping to merge just before the intake for the cooler

i know people myt say stay single, but ive been through all different setups, low mount and high mounts, but jus trying something new

thanks 4 ur help

Is there a question here?

Are you after some sort of information?

Thoughts?

As there isnt a question, i can just give free thought...

I assume the motor is still internally stock.

Using TWO t3/4 butcher turbos as i like to call them is going to result in response probably equal to a T88. You are not going to see boost before 5000rpm, could be upto 5500rpm. Or more.

Most "butchers" make around 220-250rwkw... so effectively putting two of them on there is going to be a very fruitless excercise.

Many T3/4's have little thought behind them, and are also bush bearing which certainly is not going to aint you in your endeavours.

Trying something new is good, but gotta wonder why no-one else has really done it (commonly) before, its 2006 and skylines have been around for a long time now.

I assure you plenty have thought about it and realised cost and the performance isnt worthwhile just for being "different" :D

why need a massive budget.. ? sure you could go for the 2510's or gt-ss's but if you wanted to do it cheaper you could just get a pair of N1 gtr turbos, or garrett's equivalent..

fact is, toyota have done it and it worked well, i've seen a few 1jz's running bigger twins and making good power. I've driven a jza70 supra with HKS t3g's (early 2530's with smaller turbine housings and 360 thrust bearings) its a response machine and makes over 300kws.

Plus with the ports lining up on both heads, modifying the flanges on a pair of cheap gtr manifolds would cut costs even more, and the piping would be even easier!

to me it sounds like a kick ass idea, i'm surprised more people havent done it.

go for it dude!

Why not put the Rb26 head on the 25 block and use the setup as if it were a GTR. You might want to bore the block out 87mm to get a little more capacity under your belt, do some major port work including larger valves and you could get that thing spooling fairly quickly on a couple of GT2530's.

But then you end up with something that looks like a RB26, but... just isn't.

The RB25DETT has been done here in Vic, however it's not running anymore.

I'm slowly gearing up to do this. I like different

Hey,

I'm actually about to try this myself, just sourcing cheap bits at the moment. My philosophy behind it, as i'm not after exactly "massive" power at this stage is to source a cheap pair of GTR turbo's and possiblie manifolds (depending on how hard it turns out to be modifying the flange on them) and doing the same mod. I trawled through a few japanese sites and found these on one:

rb25-26.jpg

although I think modifying the original ones (read: just not bolting up cylinders #1 and #5, haha not really :D) might turn out cheaper and easier than getting something fabricated like this.. Anyway the whole appeal behind the idea to me is a decent setup using cheap, quality second hand parts that are really tried and proven on an entierly new setup..

2nd hand ceramic exhaust wheel on the stock turbo's sounds like a ticking time bomb to me. you really should change them to steel wheel's. one member has seen this failure destory an rb25dett before

The turbo's would be rebuilt at some stage, although the actual condition they were in when I recieved them would decide on how long that would be... I wouldn't be pushing them beyond what the acceptable limits are on the rb26 with the ceramic exhaust wheels at any rate :D

    • My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.
    • Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?
    • What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
