Im posting this thread for everyone's knowledge on what parts to achieve what horsepower on a RB25DET since ive searched on the forum for PROCAMS and nothing came out.

So here it goes..

Ive waited 3 months for parts and headwork on my Skyline R33 RB25DET.

Currently its in a process of installing all the parts in.. finally.

Parts loaded was :

1. TOMEI PROCAMS 260 degree 10.25mm lift exhaust and intake

2. TOMEI Cam Gears

3. TOMEI 10.25 Lift Type B Valve Springs

4. TOMEI Solid Lifters

5. TOMEI Adjust Shims

6. COMETIC 1.3mm x 2 Layers

7. GARRETT GT35R Ported Shroud .82

8. Top Mount Ex. Manifold

9. TIAL 43mm Wastegate

10. HKS Type R 600x255.6x103 Intercooler

Was getting 192kw on wheels before this with stock internals.

Just a Apexi PFC, HKS 2540 Turbo, HKS Oil Cooler, HKS Intercooler (Type S), Greddy Boost Controller and Minor Upgrades.

Will keep this thread posted once the car is running and dynoed with the new parts installed. Car will be out this week. I hope...

Cheers!

hey guys,

Just got the car this weekend. Car is slightly tuned for road drivability.. Havent got the time to do a full tune atm.

For the solid lifters conversion, its pretty tedious work. Shims have to be added and measured.

Im totally unsure about what CR my car is running. The car started up alright. Nice idle and timing is great. When revving, the sound is awesome!

On higher RPM it sounds sharper, no joke but it sounds close to a Ferrari. =)

Im worried my oil pump will give way one day but will change it soon to accomadate the revs.

The turbine spools great. I just dont know how to put everything together. But everything just sound crazy guys!! The turbine has a pretty much like an aircraft spooling sound.

Hope to get my car tune tommorrow and will post up the numbers soon! Keep watching guys!

Cheers!

I can feel boost coming from 3300 rpm onwards.

No lag, nothing. Its insane to hear the turbo spools and the power is just crazy.

The turbo is a Garrett GT35R with ported shroud. I was worried when i installed the turbo because of lag.

But everything is going on well.

what you mean by ported shroud? Im assuming modified comp cover? And this gives hks spooling sound?

Did you ever get this tuned??? Am looking into bigger cams and solid lifter conversion at the moment.

Have Tomei 256 cams already. And have just has some issues on the tune with my 25/30 and had a rattle thru the top end after a few power runs @ 8200rpm.

What is the cost for a solid lifter setup???

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By sonicii · Posted

      How much have you lowered?  I had 350Z springs in the rear and was able to pull the camber into factory spec with the factory arms on the rear, obviously the front ran negative camber as it isn't adjustable, but rotating the wheels regularly evened out the wear.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      Either the installer needs to come back, you need an auto electrician, or you need to learn automotive electricals yourself.   First step Id look at is where that big thing came out of, is there still things unplugged at that location? Maybe they just forgot to put a relay in or something?

      Well, this is probably where a wiring diagram and a multimeter come into play.

      gauge needle removal

      I can say to anyone thats doing this; having done a number of R clusters; just be careful if its an unknown cluster.  It takes a bit of force to pull up; but if it feels excessive then its probably stuck. I've had this and pulled the entire hair spring out; and I can tell you; its not easy getting the correct spring replacement with the correct inner diameter and winding. In my case someone had used some sort of adhesive to stick it to the spindle and it pulled the whole spindle out; which the force seperated the hairspring from the spindal and caused it to deform.  You may have to clean it (IPA); or in my case if i'd known i should have used some sort of solvent on it.  Also check out Cruizin Central on eBay. He does all sorts of dials; and you can email him with any custom designs you want. So if you want like certain logos etc...he'll send you a mock of what it will look like then you accept the order and he'll take care of the rest. Fantastic dials and he can do basically any design you want.

      R33 GTST Axles

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue.
