Hi,

The long and short of it is am after as much power as i can from an engine with only minor mods.

I have my heart set on an RB25 engine and was wondering what sort of power figure i would be looking at with the following mods :

Pod Filter

Intercooler

Exhaust

Boost controller : 12psi

Engine managment of some kind (remap/powerfc/emanage ultimate)

Thanks in advance.

Yeah it has to be a turbo back exhaust, then you would be looking at about 200rwkw...... hope your getting good tyres!

Pod filter wont do anything but sound kool, i am seriously considering going back to standard air box.... the pod is just a hot air filter! But I am addicted to the sound of induction....

have a search for some of the dyno days results on the threads in this forum but in general:

RB25 (non Neo)

pod (covered with an air feed)

exhaust (3" with good cat and split front/dump pipe)

intercooler

12psi boost

Power FC (with good tune)

=at least 200rwkw. (more likely 210-215)

If you want a quick and fun car you should focus on the mid range power instead of top range. Also remember even though RBs are better then SRs in general they cost more and cost more to mod/maintaine as they are 6cyl not 4 (eg. 6 spark plugs, 6 injectors, bigger intake manifold, etc...).

Also Apexi stop making the Power FC for the RB25. As the PFC was the best ecu (in comperison to the prices of other ecus) for basic mods you may need to spend more to get another ecu and tune (eg. Wolf).

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

The cost is not an issue. The main thing is keeping it as stock as much as possible and achieving 200rwkw. If a PFC is not available, I will go the Emanage Ultimate.

If price is not an issue get a RB26. Stock makes close to 200rwkw for the R32 version and about 200rwkw for the R33. You wont be able to beat it for response as its twin turbos spool up quick and it has individual throttles. Plus a Power FC for a RB26 can be picked up for around $900 new. Its the ultimate Nissan engine. :-)

Very true, the Rb26 is an awesome engine, but engineers cert and insurance are factors in choosing the RB25, fairly easily engineered and insurance and happy with a 2.5 single turbo. You could hear the chicks voice crack when twin turbo was mentioned, "sorry sir we probably wouldn't cover that".

So the Rb25 is the next best thing.

U should have told her it came from an Aus delivered R32 GTR so its legal in Aus... lol...

Anyways good luck with the conversion. A RB25 in a light 180 would be a lot of fun. Just make sure u do some suspension mods and get fat rubber so u can keep the car under control.

Yeah, hopefully its lots of fun. Getting coilovers, etc, etc to cope with the weight and tyres and rims will be coming as well.

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
