read -Joel- 's rb30 diy guide. It explains the answers. Why would you want to swap the 25de cams for the 25det cams? I've been told they are more aggressive (de) than the turbo (25det) cams. Apparently 25de cams slightly lump when put into a turbo engine

the rb25's in the last r32's had no VVT. This makes them perfect to use in the rb30/25 hybrid conversion if you dont want hassles of trying to connect it all up. -Joel- has compared the inlet manifold from the rb25de motor, that came with his head, and yes - it does look exactly the same as the rb20 inlet manifold.

My pride wont let me put an RB25 or RB30 in my car, i want to fly the RB20 flag:(

If i could use the RB20 looking manifold off the 32 RB25 then at least i could cheat by using RB20 rocker covers and claim that an RB20 can produce all this power and torque;)

yes you can. The inlet manifold, the exhaust manifold, everything bolts up. The only thing changed in this conversion in an r32 need be 1) the r32 rb25de head. 2) the series 2 rb30 block. EVERYTHING else is RB20. The waterpump, oilpump, gearbox, computer, injectors, etc. Even the cover over the coils that says NISSAN 24 valve.....

But if the R32 RB25DE inlet manifold stud pattern is the same as the RB20DETs, then this means the Greddy RB25DET Inlet Plenum wont match up as the flange/bolt patterns (not to mention water galleries etc) are different from R32 RB20DET to R33 RB25DET.

Is this right???

sorry to dig up a prehistoric thread lmao, save myself from opening another thread,slightly off topic and question is, has any1 put rb25de cams into an rb25det?, what would be involved and is it worth while? providing both rb25s have vct (r33 s2) any feedback would be great thanks!

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
