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

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
