Rb25de Plus T?

[CATKICKER]

Hi Guys, I know it is probably asked a bit but not easily found...

I was going to be putting an RB20det from my friend's car into my 180. This isn't going to happen in a hurry due to an issue with my mates replacement motor.

My question is this;

I have an R32 RB25DE lined up for $1000 (already have the box from it). Working within a close budget to what I was (1000-1500 to get it in after purchase of engine package) would I be better of going this way rather than looking for another RB20DET?

I know it is a good option if I spend some cash on the motor but I just really want it to be a step up from what it would have been with the RB20DET.

I have AN idea on what is required but it is an internet and hear-say understanding. I know that is all I will get here but can anyone in the KNOW please confirm for me what I would need to do to get it up and going to a point that I could be safely and smoothly getting 180-200rwkw?

(GTST Injectors, GTST AFM, Manifold, R33/R34 Turbo, Turbo Lines, Dump Pipe, and ECU? - anything missing?)

I am not sure if a head gasket is required, what thickness and how much would I expect it to cost me to have fitted if required?

Another main question is would I run an RB20DET ECU? Does it plug straight in, and is it able to be tuned it to suit? (or is another ECU required)

Anything else anyone could help me with would be great so I can make my decision if to get the motor or not!

Any experence or results with this setup would be sweet!

Thanks guys!!

hey ask same question in na section its been cover lots and lots of times might get better answers, but here ya go

As for ecu yeh go the rb20det ecu should be fine and safe tune but to get 180-200 it would need to be rom chipped ie by dr drift or the likes, or get an safc, emanage or the likes,

You will also need a fuel pump, crossover pipe with bov and of course intercooler and piping, and front pipe. you shouldnt need an afm but mine blew when i did turbo conversion may have just been old cause no-one else who's done the conversion has had a problem.

Head gasket isnt required but with you will be limited with boost, on stock ecu i wouldnt go passed stock boost on a tuneable ecu it depends on the tunner but you should be safe enough to run 10psi, 12 max but i and most others wouldn't suggest over 10, boost will come on reallly early i think i get full boost at around 2000rpm on stock turbo

all the parts needed can be sourced as stock items and will run fine but to get 200 you would prob need some better than stock items ie front mount, exhaust, fuel pump ecu and mabye a fpr should get you there and it will be nice and torque esp compaired to an rb20.

Hope that helps your descision

The stock RB20DET ECU should run it fine, I've got one running my R32 RB25DE head. Would suggest a tune though as the RB25DE+T will breath a lot more air down low than the RB20DET ECU would expect.

RB20 ecu will run it perfect just get a remap.

PM me if you want more details and i can email you a pic of a romed ecu
