It's the ebay one isn't it. LOL.

Well being designed for a 4L engine and it's characteristics, it would propably come on boost fairly late, but once on make good power, i'd go out on a whim an say 270rwKs or so at 17psi.

I am sure i have heard that someone has done this already.

They are pretty laggy on the 2.5ltr and tend to come on really smooth; they feel like an N/A with lots of top end.

Considered a GT30 .82 or .63 IW from slide? Well priced.

Then you need to factor in the additional cost of a split dump $380, water/oil lines/banjo's $150 and inlet pipe which is easy if you have a pod $50 for a 90degree bend of either 3" or 4" + some silicon.

easton runs one on his r31. she cracks. its running external gate tho. they cant hold boost for shit with there internal

Its quite the opposite when running them with the std int gate. They tend to boost creep; on the 4ltrs at least; I don't believe the larger 1.06 + gt35r turbine wheel will creep on a 2.5ltr.

Yeah I'm running one of these on my 33 and its not too shabby. Was already on ther when i bought it. Mods

HKS cooler and Exhaust

BOV

Stock injectors :-(

Microtech lt-12

Bosch 044

Tuned at 343rhwp at 17psi.... is a tiny but laggy but am hoping an electronic boost controller might help. Holds boost sweet on internal gate and has been run at 19psi fine. Just doesn't hit full boost till about 4000rpm.

      Can't you put the pistons to TDC and then do the valve seals? Or will the drop down too far to pull them back up?

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching

      Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.

      Not going to pretend I didn't do a bit of junky work this time around, but mostly due to the fact that some things I am not willing to spend days fixing right now, like wiring. I try to do most things properly the first time around.
