or even 220kw.

When I get my GTS-t 4door, probably a 94 or 95.

Assuming there are no mods and it has around 60-80 thou.

What is the standard KW of one of these?

What mods would be needed to attain the above?

I have been test driving a few. One thing I noticed is how much difference just an air intake mod makes. (Pod V's Filter box) not to mention that glorious whooshing sound.

Also do any of these mods affect Insurance?

As I am getting a Auto :)

What are your thoughts on stall converters?

I have read alot about the skylines but have not seen any mention of these in skyline circles.

Also, and shoot me for stupid question.

But the turbo boost.

Whats involved in raising it to say 12? much in the way of mods?

What is the Max with stock internals? or best boost for stock car say after a decent exaust and intake?

And is it hard to reset the engine managment sytem.

the RB25DET is undoubtedly one of the best single turbo engines we've ever sat behind. Off-boost torque is strong, but get some load on above about 3000 rpm and she's a real rocket. Torque holds strong until close to the 7000 rpm redline - though note that our test car had been equipped with an aftermarket exhaust system. A short drive will have you believing every one of those 187kW (at 6400 rpm) and 294Nm (at 4800 rpm).

With design similar to the GT-R's RB26DETT engine, we can only assume that the RB25DET is built tough and can handle lot more power. The first step in this direction should be the exhaust and intake. A good 3-inch pipe and a free-flowing cold air intake will up the power output to around 225kW. Note that many second-hand GTS25Ts already come delivered with an exhaust and an aftermarket filter; chances are the exhaust is pretty good, but the intake will likely be an exposed filter sucking hot air. Ditch this and replace it with something that will draw in only cool ambient air.

Following this, the R33's relatively small intercooler should be the next item to get the flick. An aftermarket core or - perhaps - twinning a pair of Nissan coolers will perform nicely, and - don't forget - a GT-R cooler should go pretty well straight in (perhaps bumper mods will be required to make space).

Late model Nissan turbochargers are responsive and hi-tech - but they can't be boosted very hard or else their ceramic turbines will crack. We'd suggest that you could probably take the boost pressure up to around 10-12 psi without needing EFI/injector mods or running into any turbo reliability issues. Together with an upgrade intercooler, you should be looking at around 260-270kW. Serious power.

At around 250kW what would be an estimated 1/4mile be?

ok I'm about to put an rb25det in my car.

I must be crazy when you do the sums.

any way the simple solution is in this order

do exhaust

raise boost 12 psi

fit s-afc

fit front mount inter cooler

pod filters are optional and only make the car louder and could be illegal in your state.

and around 160 -170 rwkw should be avaliable to you. I don't recommend going higher if you get an auto I'm about to convert my auto to manual.

to raise boost you need a bleed valve but also fitting an after market exhaust should raise the boost abit.

stall converters waste alot of fuel and are only recommended if you are regularly drag racing. auto become expesive to fix as well if you drive a manual get one casue resale is also better in manuals.

Ta

I would not mind getting a manual but MRSE will need to be able to drive it if her car is off the road. She only has a Auto license and until the earth freezes over she aint going for a manual one :)

Anyway in my old age 31 :) I have become to lazy anyway and just like to cruise and blow off the odd car at the lights.

Why do you say "I don't recommend going higher if you get an auto "????

    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • 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
