First of all, Hello. Im new to your fourm. I have been swaping sr20dets in to the US spec 240sx for 5 years and about a year ago I got 2 rb25de motors really cheap... so now i want to put one in an s14 I bought on Ebay but I think i will need to go turbo to make 350hp... (sorry I dont know kW) anyway do you think it can be done with out changing to lower comp. pistons? say I just bolt up a stock rb25det manifold and turbo... i have the r33 rb25 wiring harness and mafs ... i still need an ECU tho... and i used left over sr20 370cc injectors. I would kind of like to get it running with the det ecu, mafs, and inj. then add the turbo. so what do you think ? will it work or am out of luck? oh here are some pictures of my sr s14: http://www.entuning.com/jex.html

and pictures of the s14 that will be getting the rb25: http://www.entuning.com/black240.html and sence im introducing myself here I am at a show last year:Christopher Jex Dallas Texas

i think it would work. The question is of reliability of course. If you stick to using low boost levels, 5-7psi, then you could get away without lowering the compression. I hope you were talking about using a stock RB25T ecu, because i dont think the Non turbo ecu is up for the task.

ive heard u need more than that.

stuff like an o2 sensor and etc.

Go to the FOrced INduction performance section or do a search for my thread, "parts needed to turbocharge" and it might be of some help

:P

laters

no piston coolers but is there any modifications we can make to it to make sure the pistons dont overheat etc?

my mechanic quoted me arnd 8k yesterday for a full job..

forged internals, conrods, gt30 turbo and etc etc...expects arnd 300 at the rw.. or with forged internals, i dont need the piston coolers?

Well im sure they (Nissan) didnt just do extra work and spend extra money out of the goodness of their hearts... there is a sound engineering reason for them. that said I think if one is cairfull you can run a turbo on anything and be safe just so long as you do it smart... ie: big intercooler, oil cooler, bigger radiator, maybe even water injection. I know the FWD sr20de's here in the states came with out the oil squirters and jim wolf tech. puts them in fairly regularly. I'm planning to run my rb25de-T whith out them, but I'm also planning to run low boost 5-8 psi. I think you wil be ok making 300hp with out them ... i think 350 will be ok. if i can ever find an ECU I will report back annd tell form experiance what works and what does not. Cjex

    • LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.
    • I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy  
    • If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.
    • Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.
    • Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
