Guys

I am looking at upgrading in a cost effective manner, I have an RB25det in my A31 cefiro with stock inj, 7psi boost, stock internals,XO2 turbo extractor manifold, 38mm Tial waste gate, T25 turbo, AEM wideband, 36psi on fuel pressure on idle and a GReddy E-manage Ultimate management.(which has not been tune)

I am looking at upgrading the turbo on this vehicle but i do not know what to get?

I use the car for drifting and probably to work and nothing else... since you guys are very Knowledgeable in the RB world i know that i would get some great advice.

because where i live everyone has some advice: and it get me even more confused because these things are very new to me, because when my car needs something done i take it to the mechanic.

i was advised on the following:

Garrett T3/T4

GT28rs aka disco potato

HKS GT 2530

Hks GT 3240

GReddy Td06 25G

Holset HX20

Garrett GT35R

Airresearch T3/T4

now i have a GReddy td06 25g at home but the shaft is broken so i don't know if to keep it and repair it or dump it

let me know your views.

You probably need a Z32 AFM and injectors and some form of boost crontroller (there's a few options) to pull some decent power out of the engine (say above 200rwkw). Make sure your fuel pump is in good condition too.

You have listed a turbo like the HKS25/30 and Garrett GT35 you are talking about a very mild turbo to one that can make 380 rwkw, 500HP. What do you won’t to do with the car? Drift? Drag? Track? Or just street? Are you going to be fully building the motor and other parts? A good all round turbo for the RB25 is the Garrett GT3076r with .82 rear housing. But u need to explain what you what to do with the car and how much you wont to spend! As an Hks 25/30 set up will cost you a few thousand and a GT35 option could cost you a lot more

Does he not say in his 3rd paragraph he uses hes car for drifting and too drive to work!

I missed the bit where you said Drift and street, as many would agree you can’t go past the Garrett GT3076r for all round turbo they make great power 320rwkw plus and still have good response. For a stock motor you wouldn’t really wont to run much more than 17-18psi some have can and do but it might last for a month or year you just don’t know with a stock motor.

As i said i use the car for drifting and occasional to drive to work.

what i am trying to achieve is basically this,

raise the boost and tweek the emanage with the stock system ( internal + Inj) that would not cause damages to the engine.

i do not even know how much boost the rb25det can even handle with a stock system.

I was told that the T25 can only handle 12psi before shattering...

BTW: the car also has a MAP sensor which i do not know what this is for?

with what i have does anyone have an idea as to how much HP i can achieve?

i would like to know how much HP i can get with stock internals?

i would like to go for a 500HP at the wheels.

500hp at the rears, are you serious? For your street car ...

Have you been in a car with 'just' 300hp at the rears? Even something like that is a handful. Go with one of the smaller turbos suggested, If you are already using the car for drift purposes as it is, any one of those turbo's suggested is going to make your day a little more fun.

500hp it insane ... and the lag to go with

Sorry, not a hope in the world.

Stock injectors are limited to around 250rwkw (350rwhp).

There is no chance stock Inj you'll make much more than that, and certainly not 500hp.

500hp would require full rebuilds, and basically a change of most parts to achieve, big dollars/time/effort.

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day  
    • While I was waiting for the new parts to come in for the charge pipe and radiator I decided to do some turbo modification. The drive pressure (exhaust backpressure) was a lot higher that I thought it should be. For 32lbs of boost drive was 55lbs. The turbine housing is a 1.10AR and my turbo builder has suggested to go to a 1.25AR. To test if a larger AR would do anything to reduce drive pressure AND not spend any money I decided to hog out the divider in my current housing. I removed it from the inlet and the whole way through the housing.  After reassembly and testing it doesn't look like this modification did anything for reducing drive pressure or requiring more fuel (making more power). Oh well, it was worth a shot. We'll get some data at the track if it makes it past the 60ft. I also machined a $7 shift knob off Amazon to fit my Stillway shifter since I didn't like the Stillway shift knob. Next on the list was the radiator replacement and fabrication of a new intercooler tube that had no silicon coupler. No pictures of this - I was short on time each night after work to get this done and didn't stop to take pictures.  Next was to get the clutch disks out and replaced. Previously when installing the dogbox I had ordered a set of the same sintered iron disks I had been running because I switched to the 26-spline input shaft. I thought it was odd that they didn't have any markings or brand name on them like all my old disks had but installed them anyway. At the track I could not get the clutch to lock up using my normal strategies. After two track nights I reached out to the clutch manufacturer and ask their thoughts. They said they had to switch the material out because they were having trouble getting the original material and that this new material would not take to being slipped very well.  So out with the first set of 26-spline disks and in with the correct material 26-spline disks. While I had the trans out I added an inspection/service hole. I've wanted one of these for a while. Now I can have a look at things and change the front cover shimming when needed (clutch wear). I hustled and got the clutch change done in a few hours on a Saturday. Hopped in the car and drove home. On the way home I did a 1-3 pull. When shifting from 2nd to 3rd the core plug in the back of the cylinder head popped out and dumped all the coolant. Thankfully I was only 30 seconds from home and coasted it there. Datalog showed nothing unusual and 2.5psi of coolant pressure. That plug has been in there since 1992 but I guess it worked its way out. Pulled the trans AGAIN and replaced the plug, JB welded it in, and made a brace. Also deleted the head drain I had added in during the bearing issue fiasco.  I am currently changing my boost control plumbing to make it cleaner. After that is done I'll make another attempt at getting past the 60.
    • Are you 100% sure this isn't tune related?
    • 140-150 across the board. At this point hoping the grounding harness fixes it. My grounds are all tied to the chassis and none to the battery. For SR and KA that’s never been a problem for me but had a few other guys here and Reddit who told me RB really like a very solid ground setup tied to the battery so going to try that next, I’m stumped if that doesn’t do it. Never had a car have spark and fuel and not fire off before. Only thing I can think is the spark is intermittent/weak because of grounds nothing else really makes sense at this point 
    • I am having close to the same issue. Can you help me with what wire you grounded to get your pump to trigger?
