Compressor specs

0.70 A/R

64 Trim

GT40 wheel

Mounted on the factory manifold with an adapter for the 45mm progate.

Should be VERY responsive! [Cue evil grin]

Only need to make a desicion on ECU, then in it goes :whackit:

it is going into a Datsun 240K, hence why i am getting all the parts as i go (i am starting out from scratch).

so i basically have the rb25de and loom, rb30 bottom, want to add a turbo, and need to know what computer to get to run it with

so the RB20DET AP Engineering PowerFC will fit the RB25DE loom? phew! what extra wires / sensors would i need to run for the turbo (if any?)

thanks joel

AFAIK, the D-Jetro version of the PowerFC allows you to use MAF, instead of AFM, not sure what engines it covers though (or what you need to add to it) http://www.greenline.jp/catalogue/electron...p#apengineering

Yer it will run.. As said only one or two things missing (knock sensor & unsure if n/a have the map sensor up near the powerbooster)

If you need a copy of the R32 Engine manual drop me a pm and i'll give you a link to dload it.

Its got wiring diagrams in there from memory and that should show the exact differences.

Its not difficult to run a few wires from any extra's.

Rb20DET loom is obviously the best choice but there is no problems with the rb25de loom.

as far as i know, it doesn't have vct anyway (well, atleast i can't seem to find anything that indicates it is vct)

using the Rb20det AP eng. PFC, that would mean i would also need to go low impedence injectors? (GTR ones, meaning replacing the fuel rail for top feed too?)

damn.. and after a 2 month search for an RB25DE loom :)

would i have the option of using an RB25DET computer? or are the looms (and sensors) completely different (if so what is the difference?), and the lack of vct too much?

*R32 RB25DE has no VVT, R33 RB25DE has VVT.

*The RB20det APE PFC runs the standard RB20DET injectors which are high impedance (13-14 ohms).

*Match the loom, the sensors and the ECU and you won't have any problems.

*It doesn't matter if you use a VVT ECU with an engine that doesn't have VVT. Just make sure you use the same model loom, sensors and ECU

*We have an R32 GTST loom, sensors and ECU on an RB31DET with RB26 top end. I just made sure I used the same model loom, sensors and ECU.

Got it? :D

running in my rb30det... ohh how i love MY and RB30DET on the same line a bit way too much :D heheheheee

Would labouring the engine to bed the rings in be bad? or good? i hear conflicting storys about this.

Im using valvoline running in oil

That depends on what your definition of what labouring is.

Just drive around with your foot down, be sure not to rev too high though. :)

Labouring is trying to take off in third or pulling out of a corner doing 20km/h in fourth.

Labouring is always bad for motors (car shudders and won't accelerate)

Hey, ive got a question about the power fc for the RB20DET, on the greenline motorsports site its says for use with low impendance injectors only, is this correct? and if so do you still have to use a resistor with the low impendance ones? Im currently building an RB30 and ive got a power fc on the way but dont want to buy injectors till im positive they are the right ones.

Thanx

GO DA RB30DET

"search this thread" function does not seem to be working, it runs off into a complete forum search so forgive me if this has been covered.

With the discussion about getting cars engineered, has anyone successfully done this with an RB30DET as these are not a production motor and do not have a production ECU, so cannot have approved emissions tests.

Thanks

I saw an RB30DET with an RB20DET engine number the other day, well well. :headspin:

I guess it's OK, when you buy a new block from Nissan, it comes with no engine number. The idea being that you put the engine number off the old, damaged block onto the new one.

PS; Just don't forget to machine off the RB30 cast into the side of the block. :)

are there ways of telling that an engine has been restamped? i heard that changing engine numbers if fraud and you just dont do it.

Dont the EPA have a blue light or something that can bring up the original engine number if its been re-stamped? then they bust your arse?

A changed engine number is sometimes easily detected, while an altered chassis number is usually very easy to detect. When the numbers are originally stamped they obviously show on the surface, but they also deform the metal underneath quite deeply. The ultra violet and dye methods show up this deformation, despite what is restamped on top of it. It is good technology and has caught out a lot of car thieves. Hooray for that, hang the b'tards I say. :Bang: It is very effective on cut and shut and altered chassis numbers, but sometimes not so good on engine numbers.

It really depends on how much is machined off the number stamping area. Chassis number are stamped on fairly thin surfaces, in fact you can see the numbers from the other side on many cars. This is not so with engine blocks as the area is quite thick. In addition, aluminium blocks show engine number changes much better that cast iron ones as they are softer and the stamping therefore goes deeper.

But new engine blocks don't have any numbers, so there is no "original number" to bring up. Stamping of damaged block numbers on replacement blocks is of course completely legal, otherwise Nissan (and the other manufacturers) would not be able to sell new blank blocks.

Hope that is of some help. :)

hi guys...

I have a suspected, stuffed big end bearing in my RB25DET.

I'm keen to rebuild it and from reading this very informative thread I'm convinced that replacing the bottom end with the RB30 is the way to go.

What is the best way to tell if the head has sustained any damage without paying $$$ to have the motor stripped down?

As I do not have the time or expertise to do the labour myself and would be getting my workshop to do the work how much would I expect the labour to set me back, ballpark (including all the machining of parts etc)?

Am I correct in understanding that I will only require the standard RB30DE rods and pistons as my motor is running the stock turbo and I can't see myself wanting to uprgrade over the 250rwkw mark (for the next year or 2 at least)

So the only major parts costs will be the RB30 rods, pistons, block + crank and probably a PowerFC to run it?

Would the result be a more reliable package than going with a late series 2, low mileage, R33 RB25DET and just dropping it in?

Sorry for the boring questions, just my motor gave up on me at stock boost, driving at 50km/h in traffic, lightly modded, and been well looked after by me with little abuse...so I am a little paranoid:/

If what you are saying is correct, it is hardley likely to be a big end bearing. RB's do not run big end bearings for no good reason. Oil starvation, poor oil quality or poor maintenance are the causes of big end bearing failure and you describe none of these. I would strongly suggest a re-diagnosis. :D

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
