it might be ok. i was running a stock r33 rb25 turbo on my rb20 and untuned it was leaning out slightly on 13psi above 5500rpm. only to like 13.5:1 afr. your running less boost so it might not be leaning out too much but i think its best to get it atleast checked with a wideband o2 sensor just to know whats going on.

but if you really want to do right for your engine go for a remap, if not a safc.

it will b ok as the afm will compensate for the extra volume of air entering the engine. although u will find it will b running a lil lean as the boost has been raised. but it will do this even with the stock turbo. fittin a apexi SAFC-2 will fix this n b cheaper than a remap. it will also give u more top end power as the a/f ratio will b at a more power productive level. remember tuning is the most important aspect of the power and engine makes. an engine could hav all the bolt on's in the world but its the amount of fuel and air, and when it is ignited that makes the power

Absolutely fine, I ran my RB20 with a series1 33 turbo for nearly a year on 12psi and regular heavy beatings :D

Oh and unless your fuel pump is dying (which it's likely not as you say it's got a bigger one) it's likely running rich as opposed to lean, what an SAFC will do for you is a cheap way to lean it out a bit and gain some more top end power.

I didn't bother with any of that shit and waited till I got the 30 in before I got it tuned properly (remap).

I am about to put in a RB25 turbo from an R34 on to my RB20, and I was advised to get it tuned straight away as it will throw out all the air to fuel ratios......

If you boost the RB25 turbo to 12-14 psi, i would be a little concerned about it leaning out......

it will but not by much. the extra flow will be picked up by the afm and the ecu will do its best. like i posted earlier i was seeing afr's of around 13:1 on 13psi, so not too bad.

My 20 w/25 turbo with stock fuel pump was seeing around 13.5:1 but boy did it go like a shower of shit heh.

Was pretty lean so did the fuel pump and untuned it made 246rwhp (@12psi) so I was pretty happy.

A tune will pretty much get rid of some of the lag (by smashing in timing down low) but I didnt see the need at that level, I preferred to save my money for the 30+bits.

i ran a 34 neo turbo on my redtop 20 for ages with no tune, was very very rich, when it did go on the dyno the afr's dropped of the scale to below 10:1

got an old style safc tuned on it and picked up 50hp and heaps better fuel economy:)

No that's not normal, can you quantify "no power"?

yer well the power is probally equal to a stock r32 with its original turbo

i put it in my self and i checked everything twice i dunno, bizzare

i thought you had to get a tune for it to start giving th correct boost

Yeah did you use the actuator off your original turbo or off the new turbo?

R33 actuator is 5psi, R32 is 10psi. If you are using the R33 actuator and do not have a boost controller of some sorts then yes, it will feel rather gutless :thumbsup:

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
