hey guys.

Currently i have a stock r32 gts-t that is running the standard turbo. However its nearly on its way out and it is screaming, i was told that the vg30 was a good upgrade (the ball bearing one). Just wanted to know if anyone else on sky aus has used this before in this car and if so what does it perform like and is it any good? Also after i buy the turbo i will also install a front mount to go with it.

any advice or help appreciated

thanks niran

First up you need to tell us if you mind a little lag. If you don't then go for the vg housing with RB25 turbo. If you find one the owner will probably ask too much for it so your better off looking for a 2532hks or similar. For the money I'd go hks. Without knowing your goals how can we advise ? How much do you want to spend ?

Im running a VG30/RB25 turbo on my 33.

Its a VG30 rear housing and wheel on an RB25 turbz, I find it is pretty responsive still, and it comes on boost harder than the stocker.

oh realy. i might look around for that see if any one has that for sale. thanks for that

      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

      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.
