hey i got this r32 gtst coupe, rb20det, completely standard, except carbon fibre clutch.

The mods I wanna do:

Chuck a big front mount intercooler, then a full exhaust system

then I was thinking about chucking a RB25 turbo on

at the moment its boosting roughly 7PSI (slow :) ), but with this set up I reckon I could wind the boost up to about 13PSI, so it will go twice as fast :D

should cost me about $3500 or so give or take a couple hundred

what do you reckon, would this be good, and would it be safe to run 13PSI? OR would a different turbo be better?

oh and obviously add a POD filter.

i agree with simon 32. i boosted 12-13 psi. it becomes guttless, like hitting a brick wall. u really need an ecu that has been tuned to cope with it. but at 10psi the rb25 turbo pulls and pull.

now keep in mind i have a r33, not r32.

anyone else notice that he said it will cost him about $3500... what the!!!

r33 turbo - $350

just jap fmic kit - $400 delivered

no point gettin a tune if you havnt changed the ecu or added a piggyback. o and if your only gettin 7psi...you should you dont have a r33 acuator on it? r32 should run about 10.

    • I thought it could be an issue because the standard plate was flexing when stressed. Maybe the original gear set will hold a bit better without flex? Last time on the dyno it made around 670nm at the hubs. Now it have bigger turbo and better intake but have not been on a dyno yet. The car is being used from family trips to drag race events. So the shifts can be a little violent. It is grinding if I shift to fast so was thinking I should overhaul it soon.
    • From the factory on RB26s there's a fitting on the intake manifold collector/"plenum" that provides pre-throttle boost signal. That's how they did it back in the day, I figure it's fine to replicate it.
    • I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?

    • Mark's a bit smarter than people give him credit... He'd convince the person that is to become dead, to drive him to the forest first. That way his car has no evidence in it, and he's free to dispose of their vehicle permanently how he sees fit too...
