pfc (1400+... very rare now a days) or emanage ultimate (~$900), and a tune ($500ish). that will get you 200kw.

the standard turbo will be at its limits at 200kw and may very well need upgrading.

upgrading the turbo will mean another 1k-1.7k on a hiflow (if you choose to go into that direction).

but if you get a hiflow you might as well take full advantage of it with: afm (z32 $300) and injectors (555cc off slide: $600ish) and get around 240kw easily.

personally im going in the:

slide hiflow: approx: $950

emanage ultimate: $900 ish

z32 afm: $300

standard injectors (maybe 555cc - undecided): $0

tune: $400-$500

thats around $2650 or $3200 with injectors.

$2800 will get you a nice set bilstein shocks, springs, sway bars etc with still a bit to spare.. thats if you're doing all the labour yourself. if not, that amount will be significantly less.

yeh security, nice mods on the budget.

should be the goods.

i have personally installed and driven an rb20 with the kkr480 turbo form ottomotto in sydney.

had pfc,550cc injectors, z32, turbo back exhaust, front mount, cam gears, catch can, running 16psi and it pulled 254rwkw out of an unopened rb20. next will be cams, should see 280rwkw.

as for suspension and brake upgrades, gtr brakes would be a cheap but highly effective upgrade.

suspension wise, nice set of bilsteins or coilovers would be nice, fat sway bars and sturt braces front an rear would help it handle alot better being a 4door. personally i would go coiloivers, with height and damper adjustments, so you can raise the height for drag and soften it up, let your pressures down to 20psi give or take 5psi so your launch is taken by the car and wont bounce/wheelspin.

my mate has spent $5900 so far, and i helped him install it. ran 12.6 with a slipping clutch.

next he is to upgrade his clutch, do the cams, hopefully touch the high 11's.

turbo is a little laggy though, so the cams should help this and a re-tune.

best of luck with your mods mate. look forward to seeing your results.

    • Will have a look at that. I cant see any leaks 
    • Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.
    • Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
    • Hi Everyone I am from West Pennant Hills in NSW. Been too busy until recently to attend to my RB25DET Series 2 engine until recently. I am planning to stick it into the S15 shell at this stage, unless a nice SR20DET turns up... For now, i am going to try and get the RB25 running and working well then decide what gearbox to use. My preference is to retain the SR20DET  6 speed gearbox and tail shaft to retain as much and least modifications as i can avoid. I am an old guy and won't be doing any heavy drifting so i don't need a bullet proof gearbox Does anyone have experience with starting the RB on a stand? I got everything setup as much as I can with the info i can find... endless searching and videos on Youtube I would be great to get some pointers Cheers Songo
    • Hey all, Recently have had my s1 r33 gtr serviced and noticed my coolant reservoir was topped up to the max line. Took the car out for 1 yesterday and noticed today the reservoir is completely empty.  Any ideas? Radiator is full
