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.

      Valve clearance for RB25det series 2

      This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way

      This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.

      Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.

      To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
