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.

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
