Let's make this the ultimate resource for naturally aspirated information. Discuss NA specific stuff such as exhaust....and generally how best to make more power.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

First topic: NO2

It's hard to get decent power gains from the RB25DE without spending big bucks. As much as it makes me sound like "rice", I figure NO2 is probaby to cheapest way to cut my quarter mile time. I'm thinking of running a 50-70hp shot. Has anyone else looked into or done this?

Thanks guys!

Greg

Sub zero told me to use NO2 aswell, they rekon a 100HP shot, holding it for the 1/4 will give me a flat 13...

there is no doubt about it, its the best price per gain ratio...

but still a) its illegal, and B) it can wreck yoru engine...

umm.. the things that come to mind for n/a cars(i have one).. are: extractors..

cold air induction....

if you keep you wheels smaller it will have a better gearing ratio or some crap.. and lighter...

lighten the weight of the car, ( or as stated in wasteland, ourselves)

if you have some money behind you, then you can look at stroking you engine to a higher capacity..

What is the stock RB25 N/A Power output?

cheers

i got 96rwkw on the dyno but my car hasnt had like an oil change or the timing done since i got it (gonna service and tune soon hopefully)

i dont really know anything about 1/4 mile stuff and NO2

im not really in the running to make my car super fast

i want to make it faster but i wanna keep it to track (i can most probebly outperform someone on a turn with my leet hax0r shocks hehe)

if you use no2 properly it shouldnt root your engine.

things that i have done that improve acceleration:

Extractors and full exhaust system

Gutting cat (bad idea though, highly illegal)

Advance the timing so far that it will ping on anything less that 98 octane :D

Give the intake air the simplest route to the throttle body

Strip weight

Take radiator fan off and replace with thremo fan

Remove a/c belt (and system:see strip weight)

Many people have said the rb25de is not great for powering up, but i have been building the ultimate non turbo rb in my head.

RB30 block with 11:1 pistons

RB25DE R32 Head/ecu etc : Ported, dowelled intake/exhaust manifolds, cams, adj cam gears, lightened rods/crank, lightened flywheel plus all above mods, dyno tuned. FAT midrange (for what it is) great engine for drift and punching out of corners.

N/A you need cubes, thats all there is to it.

I have no idea how you tell if its Type-S or not, I was just going by the information at:

http://imports.motortraders.net.au/imports...yline&period=79

Basically Type-S has an LSD plus a few other goodies that adds an extra 10kg compared to the GTS25.

I hope this helps,

Greg

the thing on my list would be cold air intake. extractors (a good jap brand) the cams then if you get serious pull the head off and port and polish it. play with a cam gear as you can only use 1 on the exhaust. then consider an ecu remapp from a jap tuning house,(1k or so). I have heard of 128 rwkw out of an N/A rb25.

the next and biggest step in an rb25/30 N/A I have spoken to 2 peopleabout this and they do make good power. its expensive though.

N/A is not all bad

All of the above and try multiple throttle bodies. Can't get a much tougher look than six big fat trumpets hangin off the side of your engine. Great amounts of torque, bulk rev,s huge noise, if you don't have an airbox, and the crisppest throttle response you've ever had. Trust me it's the way to go. Done it on my old car..:burnout:

finally a place for us NA boys can swap info....

i tried to start one in the SDU site but no1 seem to interested in the NA

hmmmmm...... Nos huh!?!?... interesting concept, any1 got info on how much that'll cost to setup???

i dunno the exact specs of my car but ive got one of those g-tech type things in the car and it also measures the 0-400m time as well as trip meter, digital speedo(mph/kph).....anyways, im constantly getting low 15sec - mid 15sec passes, does that sound right??

any other ideas on how to get the grunt outta the na RB25 without whacking on the turbo or super charger????

Not about performance, but there is a maroon NA r33 in Perigian that floggs the pants off my r33gtst. When I raced him he was carrying 3 large guys in the car, I was empty.

At every set of lights we came to, he absolutely left me for dead. When we pulled over at the servo, he then told me it was NA. I couldn't believe it. He opened the bonnet and sure enough it was NA. I asked him what was done to it and he said he didn't know, as it was like this when he imported it.

After that we cruised up to Noosa, one the way he decided to race a stroked 308. Well I was sitting on 190, and they both disappeared into the distance. I didn't meet up with him again after that, so I don't know what speeds they were doing, but would have to be well in excess of 240/250km/h.

Well to be honest I would love to see some really tough NA's getting around - even more pie in the face when you beat commodores at the light :D

my friend went to the drags .... he's ok driver ... he can beat up wrxs and rx7s....he has an R33 GTS25t ser1 with gtr kit and usual zorst and filter upgrades, any ways lines up against another R33 (not knowing its NA) it beats him about 1car length!!.... we couldnt believe it!! the engine bay looked stockies!! :D

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
