hi

im after some answers regarding wheather any rb25 with a highflow have changed there internal wastgate too either external or internal at the moment my car has the standard one on there and its opening up because im loosing boost after 5000rpm. from about 14 - 10psi

which internal wastegate or external wastegate is best for my highflow thanks.

Are you sure it's opening up under boost?

If it is, there isn't anything you can do about it. A larger internal wastegate simply controls boost creep.

An external wastegate may solve your problems, but to go to that extent, you may as well sell your turbo, take the money you were going to spend on the manifold mods and wastegate and buy a GT-RS or a 2835 ProS.

my 0.02c

yeh iv checked everything iv changed the intercooler lol iv blocked the bov and also have put on a mate of mines one on and i have a gizzmo EBC so my other option is wastegate opening up because the boost from 2000rpm - 5000rpm is constant 14 then as soon as it touches 5000rpm it tails off. and the funni thing is when i run 5psi with the gizzmo it does creep too 10psi at 7000rpm so there is sumthing dodgy going on but when i take the line off the gizzmo and let the wastegate do its own thing it creeps about 7psi

where would i be able to get one? in melbourne or is my only choice slide or performance wise

gcg will post one to you for around the $200 mark (i think) for a 1 bar actuator.

im sure theres turbo shops in melbourne that will have them in stock.

ring around and get a few prices and then play them off against each other til

you find a shop thats not going to screw you

    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks  
    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
