I know this question has been asked a million times but how much power (HP OR KW) can the RB25DET take before you need to change internals. I got an R33 Series 2 and thinking of upgrading turbo, any recommendation on a turbo which produces abit more power than factory but i don't want to change internal.

What is the best turbo to use to prevent internals to be changed?

How much can a rb25det take?

cheers

John

DO A SEARCH, this has been covered so many times its not funny!!

300rwkw is a nice safe limit for stock internals provided it has been tuned by someone that knows what they are doing, also the conditon of the motor and the quality/type of parts that are being used will determine how much power if will make reliably.

270rwkw is a safer limit if you want it to last. although depending on the engine condition you could probably push 300rwkw but at this level the stock internal engine will let go eventually.

my mates 33gtst was running 19psi with a high flow garret he drove it every day for like 2 years(who knows how long with previous owner) then a piston finaly cracked so i'd say if not running more than 16 psi should handle pretty well.

      Questions on potential new purchase

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Am I correct in assuming that the R35's are getting the classic skyline haircut off the odometer?  Quick search on carsales, there are 33 08 and 09 GTR's for sale, only 2 of them have more then 100,000km's on them (116,075 and 110,000 respectively).  And somehow there are about 25 for sale with around 60,000kms? Looks like the classic skyline haircut to me =/

      Blue slip

      @Stringycheese  Have you only gone to the one blue slip workshop?  There will be a heap of them where ever you live, good odds that the next place you go to will pass the car.  Unfortunately (or fortunately?) every blue slip / engineering workshop will be different and will be happy passing or failing different things - despite working from the same set of rules. It's kinda like 2 lawyers arguing over a piece of legislation, each saying their interpretation is correct. Might seem strange that this happens when it comes to getting a modified car passed, but this is very much a thing. A big part of the game is finding an engineer / workshop that is on the same page as you.

      Bah. I daily mine. ~60km per work day, 10-12 thousand km per year. What's the point of having a dirty old Datto and leaving it in the shed. It needs to be driven and enjoyed while the govco allows us to do so. It will only be a few years before we're forbidden to even start up internal combustion engines.

      Judging by that spring perch and the normal looking spring on it - not a coilover. Well.... it is a coilover, just a stock format coilover, rather than what everyone calls a coilover.

      Yes it is. We get stock from Nismo directly. I'm happy to take photos/video of it as proof before I ship it with timestamps or whathaveyou.
