so your going to turbo the NA motor?

Yes that's right!

hmmm 33 na 25 is going to make things a little harder yes?

Yes correct... i was actually wanting to get the non vvt rb25 but this is the one we ended up with...

I didn't even know Bridgestone made coilovers

Are you going to leave the motor as a high comp. NA when you turbo it?

I didn't know they made them either!

We are putting a 2.4mm head gasket to lower the compresion down quite a bit.

hey matey

im doing exactly the same conversion...

right now actually.

i've got my 25DE sump at the engineers getting the 20DET oil drain welded into it.

Other than that, im gonna rock the 10:1 CR and the 260 cc injectors with the stock RB20 ECU, stock turbo and manifold and im gonna use a 1980's apex AFC to richen things up a bit.

by they way, im gonna be running natural boost and aiming for around 160 kw at the wheels

That sounds interesting andy! Can i ask why you aren't using a thicker head gasket to lower the compression? I was told that is the first mistake most people make when doing this conversion.

I have a Blitz access computer going on mine and some GTR injectors..

I am using the RB20 manifold and bits of my old engine..

and an RB25 Neo turbo (for now that is) :happy:

andy,

ermm... whats natural boost? :happy:

You mean standard boost, i.e no aftermarket boost control apart from the std actuator?

and yes lowering the compression via the thick headgasket works but it does increase fuel consumption and makes the motor detonate easier.

With regards to the rocker covers thing.. My R32 RB25DE (nonvct) looks identical to my RB20DET. The only way you can tell it apart is by looking at the size of the valves, combustion chamber and ports. So once its bolted on you can't tell the difference between the rb20 and rb25.

so are you using the stock rb20, or rb25 turbo? if its the rb20 i think you would be better off with the 25 turbo, as it isn't going to be as close to maxing out... unless you don't plan reving over 5000rpm.

      Another little story of weird shit happening

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I'm thinking that this is such a small part of the problem that you could easily forego the vac pump and just achieve 90% of what you need, which is keeping the gate open when off boost. It's not as if there are not already techniques to keep a gate fully closed under boost. After all, you have boost. Just use a wastegate actuator that will allow you to apply the boost on the appropriate side, just like every external gate out there.

      Heres another fitment photo. redrilled the pattern to 5x112, and threw my audi´s rims on. had to touch the upper control arms with grinder, because the "sharp corner" was sticking about 2-3mm on the tire path. i have the "fender lip" mostly cut off, otherwise these (too) would contact with it. 20x9.5 ET25 rear    265/30 20x8.5 ET20 front    255/30 they are temporary, and look too big for the chassis. searching for 19s to it.

      At first I thought these were knock offs....

      Background: my BMW 225i hatchback (rebodied MINI/X1) came with 3x RE003 and 1x Goodyear Asymmetric something. The RE003 roared and slid around, the Goodyear side was quiet and grippy. Definitely my car was thrashed before it got sent to dealers. My brother also got RE003 all round on his old VA WRX STI, I wasn't impressed with them, car was loud so can't comment on noise. Anyway, Hankook stopped making/updating V12 Evo2. So bought S1 Evo3 runflats. Great daily duties tyre and not that harsh ride. Tyre reviews site/youtube rated them as best stopping in the rain and I believe them. Next set, Goodyear Asymmetric 5 non-RFT. It beat PS4 in tests and is like $100 cheaper, so put them on. Great tyre, more grip then S1 Evo3 but a tad noisier as expected, still rocking them. Next set I am looking to go runflats, probably the new Hankook Evo. Although the new Pirelli PZ5 did well in tyrereviews test. Or go Goodyear Asymmetric 6 which was top tyre last year. The V12 Evo2 on my gen5 Liberty GT wagon did great in cold condition (drove to snowy mountains for a day so my husky can feel his ancestor's roots). Super impressive performance for $120 each lol. Never skimp on tyres, brakes, suspension. There's old pics of my R31's crappy random brake pads bending in the caliper at Oran Park track day somewhere around here. Anyway, my 2 cents.
