Hi Guys,

Just wondering if you could help me out with a few questions.

I have a 90 cefiro that's currently running a rb20 non turbo (the twin cam version) with auto and I have a rb25det and gearbox that I want to put in.

1. will the engine mounts line up?

2. will I be able to use the original cross member / power steering rack and if not will a r33 one fit?

3. I also have r33 front and rear brakes - can anyone help as to what's involved in fitting them

4. I have a r33 tail shaft and a r200 diff - will these help?

5. what radiator is recommended?

I have done a search but cannot really find straight answers to these questions. Any help you could give would be much appreciated.

Cheers.

Hi Guys,

Just wondering if you could help me out with a few questions.

I have a 90 cefiro that's currently running a rb20 non turbo (the twin cam version) with auto and I have a rb25det and gearbox that I want to put in.

1. will the engine mounts line up?

Yes but i replaced mine with Nismo mounts due to extra weight of the RB25 which sit the engine a tiny bit higher (few cms)

2. will I be able to use the original cross member / power steering rack and if not will a r33 one fit?

Cross members MAY need adjusting, mine did. Power Steering rack is fine.

3. I also have r33 front and rear brakes - can anyone help as to what's involved in fitting them

Just do a search for 5 Stud Conversion threads..... plenty of em in the Cefiro section. Basically if you got the rotors, hubs, calipers, brake boosters etc it should be a straight swap...

4. I have a r33 tail shaft and a r200 diff - will these help?

The tail shaft needs to be modified when using a R33 gearbox... the yoke needs to be shortened....

5. what radiator is recommended?

What ever u choose buddy.... go an aftermarket one if u want to be extra safe... or a GTR one... or just leave stock one in...

Most time consuming part will be modifiying the wiring loom to bet everything 'in sync'

Also you will need to get yourself a modified Speedo drive to match up with the 33 gearbox. A lot of import companies will sell em for around $300-$350

I assume you have the ECU, loom etc.

Finally enjoy the power of RB25DET Ceffie

im interested in the conversion myself. could i just use an RB25 loom? i wouldve thought it would plug right in? if a31deviant could provide some more information that'd be great.

cheers

Correct me if i am wrong but from what i have fouind out so far you just use the r33 engine loom and plug that into the r33 computer and then its just the dash loom thats the problem as this will not be a straight plug in. (i say just like its easy...)

I've done it on my laurel, which you may as well say is the same, there are two power wires you need to pick up in the enigne bay, thers usually a plug in the front corner of the bay near the airbox, use the standard wiring loom for the wiper system (strip this out of your standard 20 loom) then off hand i think there was about half a dozen wires to get the temp guage warnign lights etc going,

I used these links to find the wires in the 25 dash plugs

there was a link to the r31 skyline club and these had pin out of the dash plugs I'll try and chase it down for ya! :D its saying it can't find the website now

maybe took me a couple of nights to sort out but I've had the car running for about 18 months now with out any issues wiring wise.

a z32 turbo manual box is exactly the same as the r33 turbo box, except z32 has the mechanical speedo drive which connects straight up to an r32 (and i assume a31 also) speedo cable. thats what i've done anyway. just a useless piece of info for people reading this who want to do it with one less complication

      Does RB25DE Neo lower intake work with RB25DET Neo Upper intake manifold?

      By R34_GT to Turbo · Posted

      Ok I get you. But isn’t the butterfly intake a headache with the +T?  see this is my plan so far but please advise me into the right direction.  Nistune Ecu, 1000cc Bosch injectors, TD05 or TD06 Kinugawa turbo using stock rb25det exhuast manifold, walbro fuel pump unsure of model I think it’s 450/460, spitfire coils and sparks to suit and a R35 MAF sensor and boost sensor.    I was thinking maybe do a cheap eBay plenum $400-500 or try find a stock det neo intake. I think I’d port match it so it’s getting the full capacity but open to advice please.  Thanks

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.

      The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
