Heya im new here so plz be kind!

I own a 1990 A31 Cefiro RB25DET. Its pretty much a stock engine with current mods including:

Internally stock

Blitz pod filter

HKS 3" turbo back exhaust

Walbro 255l/h fuel pump

I also have a HDi FMIC kit on the way that will be fitted within the next week or so.

Other mods will include Splitfire coils, D1 Spec VSD IV Ignition booster system and a good tune once its all fitted.

I'm not looking for big power gains as my cefiro is a daily driver so i wanna keep response and drivability in mind.

I just want to know if the Garrett GT2860R (http://www.turbobygarrett.com/turbobygarre...0R_707160_5.htm) is any good for an upgrade on my RB25DET ceffy?

Any info, opinions or specs would be much appreciated!

gday mate, welcome to the forums.

everyone is going to tell you to look at this thread:

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Rb...yno-t55845.html

it has dyno results for rb25s with all kinds of turbos etc.

so decide your power goal and have a squiz at what other people are running.

good luck

The GT2860RS will not have enough flow for an RB25 running 12psi. It will be at it's absolute limit and although it will be able to run 12psi through the midrange it will taper off to 9psi or so at limiter. And yes you will need to get a T3 housing machined to fit.

I'd go for something like a GT3071R or an HKS GT-RS which will bolt on to your stock manifold and will be a good match for the engine running 18psi.

For the record, at 12psi an RB25 with a stock redline will be needing approximately 38lb/min or 545cfm of air and at 18psi it will be needing 47lb/min or 670cfm. Use these values to select an appropriate turbo off the Garrett website.

It would be a good turbo for a super responsive 200-220rwkw...

A 2530's is basically treated as a swap-out style turbo for the stocker... makes a tad more power, without the risk of a wheel shitting itself and more boost, making it all nice and snappy :)

If only it came with the right flange though, it's not worth machining housings to suit

depends on what you wanna spend.... if you are happy to limit yourself to say 230rwkw you can just get a highflow from gcg and keep stock injectors and afm. you will want a computer to run the show however a piggyback will manage... just

if i had my time again with an rb25 i'd probably go this route and see how much i could squeeze out of a highflow, stock injectors and e85...

although i am very happy with the current setup.... just not how much it all cost...

the next project i'm undertaking is an SR20det ke70 with stock everything barring computer and my old 33 turbo... on e85 so i spose that'll be close enough :sick:

if you are willing to pay the $$$ for injectors/afm/ecu/clutch/fuelpump/ then a gtrs/2835pros/3071/3076 setup will see you to the high 200's

200 - 230rwkw?

just get yourself a high flow.

bolt straight up to your standard manifold, and usually have great response

cost effective option

Ok. What exactly do they mod when you get a high flow done? And,

how much $$ for a high flow usually?

cause i can get a GT2860R for under $900...

Can any one tell me if the VG30 turbo is any good for a high flow?

I heard there a direct bolt up...?

The one im loking at has the op6 rear housing.

Any specs on this tubro would also help i.e BB, ceramic or steel wheel?????

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
