What Turbos Are You Running On Your Rb25?


Recommended Posts

Hi guys...just wondering what sort of turbos are most running with RB25's ? as mine at the moment is already out of puff at 8000rpm currently its a GT25/30 hybrid setup thanks to MTC turbos , looking into a VG30 guise turbo with larger internal and external housings or even a GT 45/60? currently car mkes in between 245rwkw-289ish on 1 bar boost any advice would be appricated

Aim isnt daily driveablity more just outright touqe as long as it hits 300kw im happy

P.S im not worried about lag.. also i would like to keep it in stock mount position

cheers

vish vish vish, im sure either gt30xx being the 3076 or hks version 3037 (500 ps turbo's) will suffice, will get ya close, but i guess you cant go past the gt3040 varient as im sure it will get your mark and more id go 3040(600 ps) for your car, But gees havent you blown it up yet? last time i heard you had "knocking" with the power, then before that bent valve guide, just build the engine then you'll be happy, atleast for a little while, stock cams stock head stock everything, somethings gotta give somewhere.

Adam adam adam hehe how are ya mate ! yeah its getting the rebuild done as we speak been there over a week already hopefully pick up on this friday general rebuild with forged pistons and a few small bits and pcs (warranty funded) ... now looking for a better turbo so i can push it beyond 300 mark

Chai sometime this week ? :teehee:

go GT3540 :) i dont reckon they are "that" laggy on a 25 and will pack a huge punch especially now you got the built motor to back it up with

did you build the neo or go to an R33 Rb25?

go GT3540 :D i dont reckon they are "that" laggy on a 25 and will pack a huge punch especially now you got the built motor to back it up with

did you build the neo or go to an R33 Rb25?

neo motor just a lil over 5 grand for the bill warranty footed out 3500 for it rest i had to fork out due to forged pistons i wouldnt mind the GT3540.. what power do they hold comfortably ?

gt3540 700ps roughly so around 400 + rwkws or there abouts anyway being a larger base turbo you may have hard luck trying to fit it on the stock manifold, for starters your pushing shit uphill running more than 300 on the stocko manifold anyway vish best to go aftermarket save the hassel and ultimately external wastegate is the best option as well, what you want it for dyno queen or you want to drive it, gt3040 is the best bet and will generally see the 350 rwkw mark with ease.

But that said you have so many limiting factors here, one stock manifold, 2. is the stock 248deg cams and yes you have stock head no port no polish only upgraded valve springs. so many improvements could be gained from doing something to the head that way not so much money on the turbo and that said more response to be held. easier driveability etc etc.

And here is an idea piss that auto crap off and replace it with a manual, i dont know the threshholds of the autos on the 34 gtt but hey we will find out :D

Welcome to reality of expense in the modding world vish. Best bet is do a search throughout the FI area you may gain a better response aswell or post up in there and they shall help you.

As for chai, hmmmmm friday week maybe.

Cheers

Oops i forgot to mention, Useable boost, the bigger you go with the less work you do the less play you have. All well and good having a giant turbo 3540 area + on a forged bottom end, but if you haven't got the necessary other bits the useable area or full boost plus maybe 2300 rpm of play, Hence my recommendation on the smaller gt30xx series turbos being 40's 76's or 37's :D Hope that helps vish

Cheers

Thanks Tiff :D your car is sex on wheels :/ glad its yellow hehe your cars the beasty version of mine .. mines just a pretty trailer queen lol

Ben im comming on monday to see how far off or better the reading is of your hired dyno compared to godzilla's dynodynamics should be a good day out i'll hit u up on sunday

Dan ma man dont worry im still too slow :(

Noel's running a GT3540.. definately good for over 400rwkw. Your definately going to need cams though. Why do you want to keep the stock low mount ?

because when you open the bonnet it looks fairly inconspicuous, my old car was making 300rwkw but to look at the engine bay was nothing special

the 30/40 unless you are doing head mods and cams etc, Mine has extensive mods in this area and i see full boost by 4100 rpm, plenty of playroom to 8500 rpm.

If you are going lowmount I reckon you should at least look at an aftermarket manifold as the stocker becomes a hindrance once you start making up around the high 200 kw's atw's.

    • Hi Apex and welcome! 
    • Probably too late to reply to this, but worth a try. It's not calliper flex, the calliper as a whole is moving so it has to be calliper mounting bracket flex.  Calliper mounting brackets are designed to stop the calliper rotating, they don't need to be designed heavy duty to stop the calliper moving in and out.  Whatever it is is not the major cause of poor pedal feel, the outer pistons are moving towards the disc rotor the same amount as the inner pistons are moving away from the disc rotor.  Hence no change in fluid usage, what extra fluid is needed to move the outer pistons is recovered from the inner pistons. For a calliper to move as a whole by far the most common reason is the rotor is not perfectly centred in the calliper.  The first thing I check is that hub face is perfectly clean, bare metal, where the rotor hats contacts it.  Then I check the that rotor is firmly held in place by at least 3 wheel nuts (or equivalent). If all of the above are confirmed to be in perfect alignment then I would check the piston sizes and ensure that the 3 inner pistons and 3 outer pistons have matching diameters (eg; 28/32/36mm).  I have seen a no name 4 spot calliper that had 1 of the 4 pistons a different diameter. Maybe I missed it, are both the callipers exhibiting the same problem? I would remove the transfer pipe and inspect it to make sure that there are no restrictions. Maybe you already have but if not I would return them with the video and have them confirm all of the above.   Hope that helps Cheers Gary    
    • If you have the original log book and it didn't have a chassis number quoted, then no money required.  I have "rechassied" a number of race cars, no problem as long as you have the original log book.   Cheers Gary
    • Well the good news is that it won't run any worse with an atmo bov than it does with no bov, I've owned a few Nissans over the years (r32, s15 and now r33), the stalling issue caused by a bov or no bov while still having an afm is easy enough to live with, most people get used to driving them and just feathering the throttle when you come to a stop to avoid it stalling. Changing to a proper ecu with a map sensor is ideal but in the short term I'd just slap in the bov if you really want the whoosh sound. I looked into the pass through type maf like the R35 one above but decided against it as the amount of oil and crap flowing through the hot side would mean you'd have to clean it often to keep it working.
