u wuold change the cam gears to make 320awkw keets??

damn ur clueless... i was sittin on 296awkw on the dyno @ 15psi and runnin around 18psi when i got off.. thats over 300awkw

stock cams and stock cam gears and stock dump n front pipes....

stock injectors and fuel pump and regulator.. although things were gettin a lil lean by then. im also running what appears to be stock afms.

i wouldnt go for a 5puk clutch thou.. theyre nasty to drive and they wont like 4wd applications. save extra coin and go for a twin plate :(

the stock cams n gears r good for well over 320kw.... if u dont think so, look around the dyno thread and see how many ppl r makin close to 400awkw with stock items :)

Well arnt you great. BTW...320Kw @15psi. You don't need to run all the gear to make the numbers but it makes them easier at lower boost and the power comes on a bit earlier and is smoother in response. GTR-PWR asked for advice on "320Kw and responsive" and he got mine..your entitled to give yours.

Yeah apparantley they are not that bad anyway on the GTR's, or so i have been told. But its definantley worth it anyway.

Curious as to whether an Excedy Heavy Duty clutch would be able to handle 320awk's?

My mate says that it should last at least 3 years. Would be good to get some opinions on this matter. Cheers Guys.

LOL - Excedy HD WON"T last that long. I've got one in my GTR, only done about 2,000km and it slips if I launch hard. car was last dyno'd at 300rwkw when running lower boost, so i don't think they will handle it.

anything but a twin plate will slip on a 4wd launch.. its too much stress for a clutch...

as for Keets... 15psi all depends on turbos. i could run a massive turbo and make 400kw on 10psi.. that doesnt mean my gears r efficent.. just means the turbo flows a shitload of air @ the boost

my turbos were only hi flows.. not garrett 2860's of any kind.

stock cams r perfect as are the stock gears.. u can play with the delivery of the power with the gears but ur only gonna move the powerband up or down.. so if u fatten ur mid section, u lose top end. simple

"my turbos were only hi flows.. not garrett 2860's of any kind."

So why are you quoting the dyno numbers...Please read the original post "

2530's Vs Garrets, 320Kw and response" I answered the question.

"...u can play with the delivery of the power with the gears but ur only gonna move the powerband up or down.. so if u fatten ur mid section, u lose top end. simple"

Yes and your point is...no wait, I'm no longer interested in your point

No theyre not that undriveable.. i dunno what most ppl r on about..

ive driven quite a few cars n raced some with twin plates.. they arent that bad.. theyre like a button clutch

nothing u cant get use to.. actualyl theyre not as bad as a button because u can ride a twin plate :laugh:

im quoting dyno numbers Keets because u obviously dont know anything about the REAL abilities of the stock items.. u claim u need cams and cam gears to get that power when u simply do NOT need them

the stock units are PERFECT for that power.

I have been advise to leave the stocks all upto near 400kw's.. sure u can change the cams and gears, but do u need to?? NO.. so why waste money??

bit of misguided information here..especially above...

I raced for 3 seasons on a SINGLE PLATE clutch, dumping it at 8500-9000rpm with over 400AWKW on sticky drag strips 60'ing in the 1.5's and as low as 1'4's...never slipped once...plenty of spirited street abuse as well as countless dyno comps...probably the best performance part ive evr bought for any car ive ever built or owned.

Ive set cam gears to make gains throughout entire rev range...some parts very small gains but yes gains everywhere. None of this "rob peter to pay paul" (pardon the pun) stuff your on about.

your right about the cams though...stockers dialed in right with small low-mounts do the trick. No cams but id fit gears to them.

my 2 cents :laugh:

Im confused whats the name of this Single Plated Clutch which is capable of holding 500hp?

I will do a search in the drivetrain section, just need to name and model number.. cheers.

If its cheap and can hold that kind over power then i will look into grabbing one myself.. Cheers Guys.

Just do a search for Jim Berry, he makes awesome clutches. I used 1 for about 8mths before my flywheel smashed but it was the best clutch ive ever used in my life. Not a hint of slip, not too heavy and can be daily driven without driving around looking like a kangaroo.

My next clutch however will be a twin plate (probably a Nismo super coppermix).

      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

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
