Hey i currently own a R32 GTST RB20DET, mods as follows:

powerfc

sard fpr

fuel pump

700cc injectors

greddy cam gears

Garrett GT25BB

hybrid FMIC

Z32 AFM

HD clutch

3.5 exhaust turbo back

hi-flow cat

AVC-R running 16psi

custom high mount manifold

im about to get a tune and im searching for about 230rwkw but i dont want to sacrifice too much response. the GT25BB currently comes onto full boost around 4000-4500rpm. the car recently made 200rwkw on 15psi without the cam gears, hi flow cat, injectors and fpr.

i was considering changing the turbo to a Garrett GT28/71R before the tune. just wondering if anyone has used this turbo and tell the pros and cons about it in comparison to the GT25BB. tell me what power you made and when it came onto boost. thanks. iam wanting full boost by about 3500rpm.

all help welcome but if your going to just bitch and spam leave your comments to yourself.

Cheers

Brodie

All "GT25BB" equates to is GT25 turbine and ball bearing centre section . If it gets full boost at 4-4500 rpm its not very good IMO . I suspect its a GT2540R/GT2876R with either an archaic TO4S compressor or the 76mm GT compressor . Both are a woeful combination .

Same deal , pics and numbers off its ID tag and we can at least tell you what you have . Until its identified its impossible to know which way to go .

Cheers A .

Hi Just came across your thread while looking for suff on GTR cam compatability with Rb25det heads... They work in RB20's and aparently make more low end torque and improve response.. still looking for RB25 data tho.

Anway, I run the same turbo on my RB20DET in my gts4. GT25BB400 with a 0.64 turbine, 0.7 compressor, turbosmart 38mm external gate, 600x300x75 fmic, GTR 440cc injectors, 20lb boost, wolf 4plus ecu, msd dis4 ignition and 3 coil waste spark ignition, 044 pump and a few other things.

I get positive manifold pressure from just above 3000 rpm, 10-12lb by 4000 rpm depending on load and gear, and full boost by 4500ish. I say 4500ish in that at that rpm with full boost within a second or 2 your at redline already so its really hard to say at what RPM it came on at.

The turbo doesn't really start to sing till rpms are above 4000 though. Probably far from being a good match for a RB20, but I use antilag as well, and when its in its effiency range it just goes and goes. If you weren't afraid to rev to 8000 it would hapily go that far. I shift at 7500.

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
