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.

    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful         
    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
