147rwkw RB25DE

"Amazing results with a nistuned Z32 computer modified to run the R33, this cheap alternative is conducted in house and retails for $1300 fitted and tuned, as the R33 computer is not a chippable board. the first run is standard setting with aftermarket exhaust 96.3 kw, then after a nistune chip and tune 121.5 kw! then a set of camshafts and a nice set ENVY Dyno vernier cam gears inlet and exhaust doing away with the variable valve timing showed amazing improvements @ 147 kw! thats almost the power of the turbo engine kids!!" copy paste from the vid URL

Good effort, that'd be a fun drive.. total cost including all parts, labour and dyno?

My guess is if you throw that kind of coin at a gts-t you'd still be 100kw behind

Not sure on the total cost, but i suspect somewhere around the $4000 mark. Yeah thats true but for an N/A its a good effort.

Edit: Around 4k as its cams, camgears, nistune+tune etc etc someone correct me im probably way off.

just creamed a little bit...n/a powaaaah :D decent number....anyone seen any other n/a skylines pull big numbers?

Quite a few RB25DE's in the 120rwkw-130rwkw range but i've never seen one crack 200rwhp until tonight.

actually you still haven't, LOL. he came about 3hp short.

and while it is a good effort for a NA, having thrown 4k of mods on has only gotten it to a point where a stock turbo would be.

also they don't have the car tied down very well (if at all) which would probably also increase the power reading. the reason i saw that is that the car moves around a little bit at about the 8 second mark in the video, and i have seen much more powerful cars than that move around less.

MUST you ruin the fun? :(

Hey mate how much duration and lift were the cams?

And what is the maximum lift for an rb25de?

Cheers

Hey mate, i'm really not sure but i wouldn't expect them to be much different to Poncams.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
