I purchased this kit last October and found it to be excellent, although back then, the exhaust housing had a standard nissan 6 bolt flange on it.

Car made 235Kw before the injectors maxed out, with a fuel pump and Z32.

Only problem I found was that the space plate wasn't thick enough to clear the turbo from the stock manifold.

Turbo is supplied by GCG, so you know that they are good quality Garrett's!!

For the money definitely get one, if you put crap gear on your car, it will only haunt you later on, when it breaks.

The best thing was that the turbo spooled up at around 2800 rpm, so there was little to no lag from the bigger unit

what did you end up doing to overcome the spacer problem and also how much psi you ran to get 235kw

You will have boost control problems with the tenie tiny internal gate.

Get a 0.63 turbine hsg and a TiAL 38mm external gate and you will love it for the street or if you plan on a engine rebuild later on and more power and maybe track time go the 0.82.

i went the internal gate. Had a few issues with actuator and boost creep. Eventually it got sorted, would probably have cost me less if i went with the external. Pay extra now to save more later. I would buy one from a direct garret supplier too like mtq.

Seriously - try searching.

People are unlikely to continually post their experiences, especially about internal gates which are so well documented you could write a factual book on them, RB25's and the limitations :P

yeah I have been searching and everyone is saying 3076 with 0.82 housing is the best option, im just wanting to know if the 0.71 housing internal wastegate will cause boost creep as others have had with 0.63 housing, thats prety much the last question im left with, will 0.71 do the job with no creep or should i go with 0.82.

the 0.71 is a milled housing and cropped turbine.

Personally I want to leave everything at Garrett specs, so I've chosen the 0.82.

I think the 0.71 was designed for the GT3071 for 4 cylinder applications.

Ive had issues with the kits as they are NOT kits... they are just a turbo and other parts are needed, so be prepared to spend quite a bit more to get it installed. A few SR turbos customers have been bringing in lately need actuator brackets fabbed up etc... in the end it was cheaper to buy the GCG KIT (which is actually a bolt on solution, you specify the car model and it arrives setup) which had the correct actuator bracket and housings clocked to the right postion.

The Tweakit RB25 kits ARE resold GCG kits, but at cheaper price >_<

Confirmed by GCG themselves.

same price as the ATS GT3076 .73 AVO rear housing, Garrett CHRA, nissan hiflowed comp housing

Adelaide Turbo Services - rated to 280rwkw

bolt on solution

100% has my backing as the perfect RB25det turbo upgrade

looks like stock, goes 200% better than stock

ie stock 120kw, modified 240kw, same fuel consumption

>_<

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      By f00stx · Posted

      So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?

      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

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      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..
