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:

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By MBS206 · Posted

      The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛

      Hmm not really, I'd say its race car life or modified car life when you make 3 or 4 times the power Nissan designed the car for lol.

      I'll let others with more breakage chime in, but I can't think of anyone who had a problem with the standard centre plate before they had a problem with the standard gears - the plate generally just gets replaced for safety when the gearset is upgraded. As for the gearsets, its not like they are OK at 600Nm and break at 601. Their longevity is a combination of how much torque you are making and how gentle you are on shifts (or not).
