I've done a search, and read several threads, but unfortunately they all turn into a single vs twins debate.

Luckily, I dislike twins, so there is no need for a debate, I wont be using them :P

Can anyone tell me which water line to use for the single conversion on a 26? The front or the rear?

And I'm using a Garrett GT3582, and I have a JUN oil pump, will I need a restrictor of some sort to stop the oil blowing past the seals??

Cheers :D

Paul.

Hey Paul,

Unrelated answer, but i am interested to see how you go with this turbo, and why you didnt go to the 4088r or the newer 3788r??

My engine spec is rather similar and i am too considering making the switch to a single. when i get it all back together..

Hey Andrew,

The car is a circuit car, and as such I'm aiming for the most response possible while maintaining roughly 400wkw.

The 4088r appears too lazy, and I am yet to see a graph of the 3788r.

Instead, I've customised a 3582r with a T04 0.82 rear housing (V-band + T4 flange).

We will see how it progresses, it is booked in for a tune on the 14th.

where are you gettting it tuned cockspank?!?

if its at xspeed get ant to overlay my graph on yours... then we can finally compare very similar gt35r vs t04z

also in regards to the water line, we blocked off the front one and ran feed from the rear (it was a bit of a cvnt) but that is how all single turbo rb's are run so we figured it to be the best way to go

I've run feed from the block and returned to the front.

Makes the most sense to me as the hot water then goes straight into the radiator not back around the engine.

Also one less water line to worry about breaking and having to replace at the back of the engine. Doing that in the car ... what a F*kin nightmare.

Oh and unlike CERB's ... My 26 has run a time :starwars:

Marbles, Sean's tuning it as it's heading to All-Star from Volatile (it's not far away) to finish off the conversion. Will get it run up on X-Speed dyno tho to see the difference between yours and mine.

Paul you can use either front or rear, the rear looks neater imo but as Butters said one less line to worry about not being able to get to if its on the front of the motor. I dont know about garret turbos and restrictor i have a 3076 on my other motor and its been getting abit of blowby past the front seal and its brand new so maybe its worth a look into.

    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks  
    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
