Again, why would you upgrade the diff BEFORE the new turbo goes in??

Why fix it if it ain't broke and will do the job perfectly fine?

Unless you are planning to run a T88 on the car, don't change the diff, it's perfectly fine to support 400 rwkw, possibley more.

Save your money buddy and change it only when it needs to be done.

thanks everyone yea i want to upgrade turbo but i want everything to be ready for the extra power. how much hp or kw can stock internals handle

i already have a heavy duty clutch so thats done.

il need to do an afm but on the turbo timer it has the gauge showing it but i dont think it means i have one do i. what sort does everybody recommend.

also what injecters does everybody recommend

im planning on getting a power fc then once all is ready put on the a new turbo not sure which one yet and then get it tuned.

i finally have a well paying job now so will be able to afford what i have been wanting to do for the past year but being between jobs for most of the last 12 years has been hard just affording to live and keep petrol in it lol. still 98 octane even though it busted me.

thanks for all the advice its good when basic questions turn off subject a little bit as then i get more information which i wont have to ask later so thanks to the off topic people to lol

If its an exedy heavy duty clutch then it probably wont see over about 250ish rwkw. So depending on the power your planning on making you might need to keep that in the back of your mind. If its a greater clutch then this then my mistake lol

But yeah as stated:

ECU

Injectors

FMIC

Fuel Pump

Exhaust

AFM

all good starting points. Probably an electronic boost controller as well unless ur plannig to just run the turbo on the wastegates boost setting.

stock internals are good for around 260-300rwkw, depending on condition, dyno etc. sometimes more but then it becomes a question of how long it'll last.

have a look at your afm and see what colour sticker it has on it. green is stock silvertop/s1 25, pink is stock s2 25, ornage is z32 airflow meter and yellow is q45. z32 afm would be fine for what your after.

as for injectors, if you dont plan on ever building the motor then some nismo 555s will do nicely

i just want to know what to do before i can upgrade to a high mount turbo. Hopefully keeping stock internals if possible.

Fmic, 3 inch hks exhaust tyrbo back, upgraded suspension and slotted hd brakes. Boost controller, turbo timer, bosch 550 hp fuel pump. I know this car had a 500 hp engine before i got it now has half cut engine new stock turbo and gear box. I think the heads from old engine but not sure.

Cheers

I Build a R34 GTT for my mate first top turbo upgrade i've done, only usually mess with GTR's, but the car was stock to begin with, bout 10g's later it was making 300 to 320kw with ease. No detenation wat so ever, very awesome to drive. The car was done aon a very low budget had to make alot of stuff myself. Still going today 130000km running 18psi all day everyday RB25 Neo's are a very tough engine. List of parts:

Cooling Pro FMIC

Custom 3.5" Exhaust

Apexi Power FC

Gizmo EBC

Cosmetic Metal Head Gasket

GTR Nismo Fuel Pump

POD Filter

Garret 3040 Turbo

Stainless manifold

48mm external wastegate

OS Giken Twin Plate Clutch

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.

      I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
