how much boost?

I give it 2 weeks before it throws a rod :no:

It wont throw a rod unless you run big boost. I rekon 14 psi and youll be fine. Just get it tuned properly. That said, I dont know about the strength of the RB25DE bottom end, but I cant imagine it being weaker than NA SRs or CAs which can handle 14 psi on stock bottom end.

Go it!!!!

RB25 front housing and core - ar63 rear housing - 30psi thrust bearing - gt30 front compwheel

this good setup?

I take it you meant 360 degree thrust bearing?

If so, you are talking about a plain-bearing cartridge? Not going into the whole plain bearing / BB debate - been done to death. I'm not against plain bearings, but I did go with a BB cartridge upgrade.

When you say GT30 impeller, are you aware there is a range of trim sizes available? Which one? Nismoid's question about a compressor map is justifiable - read the literature that Garrett put out about them. The maths is not that hard either - you do need to know what your power target and intended delivery is.

Cubes is also right about the hot side being generally the limiting factor - it has to be able to flow what the cold side is stuffing in, but also to drive the cold side efficiently.

I don't have any probs with your choice, just a matter of knowing what you want it to do. FWIW, The Mafia and Jmac have both used a similar cartridge to yours for upgrade. Their posts seem to indicate satisfaction, even if others disagreed at times. Do a search and see for yourself.

I believe the RB25DE runs 10:1 compression. That should point out the immediate limitation of your intended match: any significant boost will likely lead to an early failure. Otherwise use a small-ish turbo and get it to crank out significantly more torque than the N/A engine. Much the same as Nissan did with the DET. Might actually be cheaper and just as effective to buy/install a DET engine in that case.

cheers

People are safely running 14 psi through the DE bottom ends on turbos of similar size down in Melbourne. Making 260rwkw. I have not seen it, however, but this is what I was told. Running more than this would be detrimental to your engine's health. That is also assuming the bottom end is not already "TIRED".

I don't think you will reach that hp figure but good luck with it anyway.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
