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:

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

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
