The first and singlemost thing I can recommend.

STOP PICKING RANDOM PARTS FROM MID AIR.

do a search, keep searching and keep reading.

have a look at the rb25 turbo upgrade thread.

read what others have done.

search for things like:

Grepins is the HKS GT2835ProS, plenum, exh. manifold, cams and a few others bits and pieces. He's really pushed the 2835proS to its limit.

Freebaggin ran a GT3040 with a .63 5bolt style turbine housing and stock style comp cover. Tim Possingham did the specs on the turbo for him some time ago. Back then it was worth close to 3k. The housings weren't simply machined to suit they had more work done to them. I believe it origionally was making 280rwkw on 17psi. Changed comp cover to the .7 ramped boost up and made over 300rwkw. Maybe he can share a little more insight in to what exactly was done to get the power.

hks gt2835 pros is good turbo but if u want 300kw, u need a bigger one

Hello everyone.....

I was flicking through a "high performance imports magazine" and I saw an ad for a high performance engine rebuild kit for a RB25-DET. It consists of:

  • Venolia forged pistons
  • Grant chrome rings
  • R.E.V. I-Beam forged conrods
  • Tomei metal head gasket
  • Genuine Nissan full engine gasket kit

All of this is for $3999

Is all of this stuff at a good price or not???????

cheers :happy:

Dont get Venolia... Get CP or ACL pistons.

Is that's the kit from hi-octane?

Have a look in the RB25DET turbo upgrade thead for turbo selection for a few ideas 2530 is to small for what you want to do.

Id recomend a HKS GTPROS turbo kit comes with everything needed and bolts onto the stock manifold, it will be good for arround 270rwkw with room for a little more.

At levels above 270rwkw you may run into reliability problems if you drive the car hard, plus the you will need a large turbo whcih means more lag.

For 300rwkw+ a rebuilt engine with a 3 litre bottom end would be a good option the extra capacity will give you less lag and power can be made lower in the rev range which means less stress on valve train parts.

If you go the HKS PRO-S route you will need the parts others have already stated

Injectors

- S15 JDM manual type, nismo 550cc or 740cc

Fuel Pump

- new bosche pump 040 or 044, tomei or nismo direct fit

Air Flow meter

- Z32 airflow meter will be plenty big enough

ECU

- Power FC with Hand Controller and boost controller option

Clutch

-Exeedy seem to be a popular choice

Cams optional but recomended

-Tomei pon cams

Intercooler

- might want to go for a JDM type, not sure how the cheap hybrid and hybrid copy coolers will go at this power level.

Exhaust

- 3 to 3.5 inch exhaust from turbo back with highflow cat (the bigger the better)

As for pricing it can vary shop around www.nengun.com has good prices for your cams, turbos, ECU and intercoolers.

Search the for sale section on this forum heaps of specail offers for exhausts, intercoolers, etc.

If you shop arround you may be able to get away with spending less than $10,000

cheers

Better yet, you can even see the video and look at the nice telly screen of it. :O

How good is that eh? Stuff having a sheet, live video recording is a joy.

http://skylinesaustralia.vidiac.com/recent...a697e4dad6e.htm

That also includes a backup run of 358rwkw with a bit less timing.

Safe to say there is nothing wrong with an AFM based car at all.

OMG...thats an awesome vid nismoid..

I assume thats your car ???

Can you PM me some details on the setup ?

Looks to be a lowmount with an external gate ?

hehe those manifolds look suspiciously like GTS-R ones :D

Suspicion would proove correct :O

I actually own a GTS-R... and it still retained some of the Nismo gear from the factory, the GTS-R manifolds are awesome.

Good mate of mine now owns the manifold, they are worth a pretty penny lemme tell you.

PM sent :D

Amazing how the peanut gallery went quiet once the video came out hehehe.

My tuner has expirience with both MAF and MAP applications for the RB's.

If he tells me in his expertise that the AFM is not a restriction, then i'll believe him based on his testing and applications.

I trusted his judgement and made more power than anyone else said was possible at the time.

When a PowerFC is $900, and the AFM $250-$300 thats $1200.

Would i be right in saying a MAP based ECU is a little more expensive in most cases?

The closest that comes to mind is $1400 at the very least. I think more decent are wire-in at a $2000+ cost

So cost for cost, the AFM + PowerFC Combo will works out cheaper.

As stated he is in Vic, and *most* tuners will prefer to use a PowerFC down here as opposed to anything else.

Nar MAP based ECU isn't always more expensive.

Some people are happy enough with a MAP based tune also, even if technically its not as responsive.

$1000 for Microtech (with x4 ign module) on my SR20 - $300 for tune. Self installed. total cost $1300.

$1200 for PowerFC + the tuner said he would charge a tad more for PowerFC tune. Total would have been $1600.

I'll probably go PowerFC on my skyline though, two more injectors and two more coils to wire might scare me off the microtech install again. Takes take a few hours to wire an ecu in.

Suspicion would proove correct :ninja:

Quiet??? did somebody say quiet? haha

IMO

seen better...

spoke too soon nismoid...

oh yeh by the way...i think the reason i went quiet after u brought that video out was cos YOU BARRED ME cos ya couldn't hack it and ya had a cry...bit hard to speak up when ur barred ey!

My 2 cents

lmao... yer right..

And were all going to believe that. lmao.

:O

Hey you know whats funny...besides ur name...if you mix the letters of 'lmao' you get LAMO!!!! something for you to think about :D

I believe Nismoid ran the stock gtr bov's.

A GTR BOV >_<

Just one... not the both of them, you can see it in the vid... it is even plumb-back :sorcerer:

Was actually talking about it today, it worked so well with just the one even with that amount of boost given.

Definately worked beyond expectation without using both of the BOVs like on a GTR.

There was a tad of flutter on 24psi.

However when using under 20psi it was actually quite ok and there wasnt a hint of flutter or anything so yeah. Worked well IMO.

  • 1 year later...
as i posted in the other thread

stock gtst

+ front mount $800

+ exhaust $1400

+ ecu $900

+ heavy duty clutch $1200

+ hiflow turbo or gt-rs or gt2835 ($1900 to $2800)

+ airflow meter z32 $300

+ fuel pump $300

+ injectors $600

+ cold air intake $300

+ boost control kit for ecu $300

+ tune $500

+ suspension work $1200

total $10,300

should net you somewhere from 250rwkw to 280rwkw

ive got most of this to go on my car except for

+ boost control kit for ecu $300

+ injectors $600

so at the moment ive got 182 or 84 rwkw now on low boost 5psi splitfires made me gain a few kw too

clutch no need ive got a auto but have stage2 shift kit but have to change to a manual-auto because ove shift point issues with aftermarket computer should i see around the same figure ps im in the process off getting nismo 555cc injectors for it is that ok?

    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
