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.

    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
