RB25DET gear ratio's are hard to come by, I found these on SAU some time back.

Strange enough they are the same as a reliable Z32 300ZX source.

Is any one able to confirm the RB25DET gearbox ratios?

For those that want to fiddle...

For those that are interested I've made a dyno spool comparison of the mine, sky30's and Ash's.

The reason mine jumps up sharply is it basically spools up instantly at that rpm, if shaun had loaded the car up at a lower rpm ~1500rpm it would have been a slightly better indicator of how it spools in the real early rpm.

I haven't attached bl4ck32's 218rwkw run as he doesn't have a print out. :)

His little plain bearing MQT/Dynamic Turbochargers RB20 highflow makes 218rwkw on 16psi and it spools ever so slightly better than the vg30det turbo shown here.

I think if ash were to get an ebc on to his nice tight little actuator he may bring full spool in slightly earlier, which actually would look too bad.

Dial some more boost in and it should hold power a little better than the .82. BUT it is difficult to tell as sky30 is making a shiet load more power/airflow at that rpm so ash's power curve very well may follow sky30's rapid nose over.

I really do believe this rpm/airflow/velocity point is the limitation of the standard exhaust manifold.

Especially when you see blokes like 88sillouete or what ever his alias is running a nice exh. manifold, stock head, td06-20g and he flicks it to 7200rpm no problems.

Ash,

At 100km/h yours is making a bee's dick more power than a healthy R33 RB25DET running 13psi to make a total of 200rwkw, usual mods pfc etc.

80km/h you are down 18rwkw compared to the rb25det where as sky30 is the same..

So essentially... Sky30's RB30DET GT35r .82 will feel the same at 80km/h as an rb25det running the stock turbo at 13psi. :wub:

Impressive when you look at it like that.

60km/h... who knows, most likely they will be the same, if not the rb30det will have the upper hand as 60km/h is some where around 2000rpm.

If one was able to get the 1.06 holding power until 7000rpm I think it would be a rather drivable street car with a downlow (up to 3000-3500rpm) stock rb25det power delivery that simply becomes more and more insane as rpm's increase. I hope that makes sense if you visualise the power curve. :D

good work Joel, looking at the spool comparison makes me think something is definitely not quite right with my car!

Shaun did also say that i need more tension on the actuator as he said it seemed to be a bit loose.

Nice work Gav! Cars looking good!

Wow, the memory isn't that bad, the VLT box has the extra 213 rpm drop on the 3 --> 4 change compared to the RB25 box. In fact the VLT box has wider spacing between all gears, except 4 --> 5 which is irrelevant anyway.

:) cheers :wub:

Joel, id be very interested if you could do a similar dyno camparison on torque readings between mine, yours and ash's cars.

Ash, What RPM do you get ful boost at??

I wouldnt be too dissapointed, a mate of mine runs the 1.06 housing on his VLT and doesn't get full boost till around 4200RPM.....

Hey guys,

Just on that subject of when boost comes one at what rpm, I have a r32 GTR and I put a gt35r with a tiny .63 rear housing on it with ext gate, I was after early spool for easy street driving and a more useably torque curve. With 15 psi and 310 rwkws it comes on boost earlier than the standard twins did and holds great boost and a firm curve to 8500 rpm.

When I had decided to go for such a small housing I was warned by many modders that I would get pressure and heat problems due to the housing being to small but all it has been is an excellent street setup.

Oh yeh and thnx for the ratios guys I will most definatly be keeping my gtr diff. :D

Cheers.

p.s My mate is as we speak setting up his rb30 bottom with 34gtt head for his drfit 32gtst he also is running ext gate and a .63 housing will let you know how it goes.

Sounds good, What RPM are you making full boost at? And is the engine a RB20 or RB26??

i'm getting 15psi by 3900rpm, i love this motor and turbo, driving home from work last night (1:30am) was about 4degrees, i just put it into thrid from second and put my foot down and the thing just shoves you back in your seat and pulls so had to the rev limiter!

Just out of curiousity why do people run such big rear a/r's surely a ~.8 would be far more suitable unless its a drag/street car.

When an offer presents its self that is too good to refuse (1k) and is internal gate that is basically bolt up.

i probably ideally wanted a .82 but at the moment you can't get a 35/40 with an internal gate (wanted this for the more stocky look) but when the 35/40 came up for sale at a really good price with the 1.06 housing i couldn't refuse and to be honest i haven't regretted it for a second, it is very streetable with the torque the Rb30 produces and i'm only going through 10L/100kms of fuel now due to not it being on boost all the time! Just need some new diff gears now so that i can use first and second a little more!

Hi guys just finished my 25/30 conversion, car idles fine on cold start then once she warms up idles less them 400rpm any ideas why?? Then when driving her she stalls when i stop, at idle, i think she is running a bit too lean, i do have a pfc and a hand controller but im not sure how to change the idle, afm or injector duty cycle, should i do this or leave it to an expert? My specs are as follows r32 GTS4 rb25 non vtec head 3L rb30 bottom end, pfc, gtr fuel pump, stock afm, gt3540 turbo, tial 44 external wastegate, stock injectors and tb etc.

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
