I just bought a NVCS RB25DE and im going to bolt on all my RB20DET stuff...

my question to all the knowledgable gents out there in skyline land is:

What size are the stock side feed injectors and will my shit run lean if i use a RB20det computer with stock injectors?

also any helpful hints and tips you guys might have RE installing said motor.

CHEERS, ANDYLAUREL

People in forums often take issue with NA+T. You'll find I'll arc up each time and say how wonderful it is!

I wouldn't run stock ECU mind you, especially with the massive change in displacement.

I would also use a turbo more suited to an RB25.

Besides that, no reason why you can't hammer out a good 12-14psi on a good tune. You'll see some good power from that and good response with the high comp.

its been done. stock 25det computer and turbo. use the det injectors. the oil suply for the turbo needs to be taken of the oil pressue switch via a t peice.

the oil return is ok. just fit the turbo drain in the block (theres a bung.

the wiring is abit diferant. to what extent i dont know. but its defenatly diferant

ohh ok. the injectors are gonna be way to small.

I've got a set of RB25DET injectors if you want them.

Oh, and a RB25DET Factory ECU

Maybe install those injectors and ECU, and you're good to go..

let me know.

oh, and you'll definately need a new fuelpump.

i had a performance shop offer to install one of these into my car for $2100 (including swapping everything over and remapping my stock ecu) which i thought sounded pretty decent, but i was only expecting 6 or 7 psi because the compression is pretty high already. Without replacing anything bottom end to decrease compression, what sort of power would you be looking at with your setup? You can pm me if you like, i dun wana get your thread off topic.

Again, I am saying NO to the RB20DET computer with stock injectors on that block. How on earth are its maps going to be correct on a 2.5L engine.

You need what The Mafia is offering if you don't want an after market ECU.

wtf? You can't hook up a RB20 ECU to a RB25 motor...

my god..

Easiest fix - Install RB25 ECU, and injectors. Car would probably start fist go. And won't need to be re mapped...

anyway, don't say I didn't warn you.

Also, wouldn't the RB20 wiring loom be different to the RB25 loom?

or just remap the stock RB20det ecu to cope with the extra demands :(

I'd do the same thing too...an rb25det ecu would probably allow you to run the car but i think the ignition timing maps might be too aggressive for the de+t...

i was thinking that the stock RB20 ecu will be perfect to run the RB25DE because i will be using an RB20 AFM and the RB25de injectors are the same size as 20DET injectors...

hence when the engine is running, the AFM is metering a larger amount of air going into the engine (becasue its 2.5ltrs) and will add fuel accordingly... hence mixtures will be fine (at idle)

before you knock my block off, i understand that anywhere on boost, the 260ccs will not be able to supply sufficient fuel, but i think my metering hypothesis is correct...

I've tried to use an rb20 ecu on my rb25. I was looking to do a remap. The rb20 ecu had the rb25 maps loaded onto it.

IT just wouldn't run. It idled like shit even with the rb25 maps. I remember reading somewhere before in the pfc threads that the ecus have slightly different wiring and require some modification.

    • R32 HICAS, so long as the CU is not itself faulty, is easy to keep working enough for the PS. Just unplug the smaller of the two loom plugs, on the CU, like I have already said about 4000 times on this forum. This works with all the stock hardware, or with a lock bar, or with a complete removal. I know, because I have done all of them. OK, actually, I never put a lock bar on because why would you put a lock bar on when you can get rid of the whole lot, including the stupid tie rod ends?
    • Join the NorCal facebook group btw, but if you can confirm it is HICAS I would install a lock bar and do the work to keep the HICAS control unit happy despite the hardware not functioning. The HICAS control unit is also responsible for speed sensitive power steering so if it's unhappy you'll get failsafe/heavy power steering. A standalone can control that power steering solenoid valve but sometimes it's just easier to stick with the factory setup. Tomei makes a little electronic module that you can install to fool the control unit. I would probably go through the effort to not use a scotch-lok and build a harness so I don't have to chop up the OEM harness. Where you could source those connectors and pins I wouldn't know at the moment though.
    • Oh, another question comes to mind though. What sort of shitty fuel are you feeding it. Mine, a turbo, has to be fed 98RON, so it doesn't ping itself to death. 98 in Oz is good, dense fuel with minimal oxygenated compounds. Meaning that the energy density is high, and if the O2 trim is working, you will get more MPG than with a lesser fuel. If you're using some sort of piss poor E10 blend with some other MBTE or other oxygenated additions, that could explain using more per mile.
    • I have no idea where the thump is coming from, it sounds like its from behind me but im not exactly sure. And it was the HICAS light that came on.   I think a complete delete is the route im going to go. Probably going to pick up the kit within the next month and get it installed. HICAS is just going to end up being a headache if I keep it.    Thanks you. 
    • Just putting this here for reference for other beginners. Similar to what I said above.  I learnt if you have a few dents that are fairly close to each other (within a couple of inches maybe 2-4 inches?) Use filler across them all and sand it all at once with the long block as opposed to fixing them seperately.  Will make life MUCH easier because you won't get stuck in the cycle that I did. I think doing it seperately there is some overlap (mean your whole repair zone might cover near the area of the other dent) and you start sanding near the other dent making a low spot.
