While we are on quick questions lol

Im looking at getting an RB25DET engine package that used to be an auto, will this matter for me? (going into R32 as a manual) I know you change the flywheel etc but what about the ECU...

you can use an Auto ECU with a Manual but not the other way around. The only thing that will be a pain in the ass will be getting the auto sp.i.got boss out of the end of the crank but it can be done. you will probably need (well it'll be easier) a manual loom from the trans to the EB relay box but you can adapt the Auto one if you want to.

Quick question..i know you can buy a trans cooler for your auto..can this also be hooked up into a manual transmission?

As for the Trans cooler question, no you can't because there is no pump to move the G/Box oil. With an outo it is basically a big pump so there is a pressure feed to push the fluid through the cooler but with a manual they rely on contact transfer to move the oil through the box and there is no pump.

In race cars that need a cooler in their manual trans's they run an external pump to move the oil around. They also run a thermostat as the oil needs to be allowed to get up to temp.

Why are you thinking of fitting a cooler to a manual trans, they don't need it unless your doing long stints (1hr+) on the track?

Thanks DStrils, if I get that one I may aswell just get another loom because they are pretty cheap. The reason it caught my eye is auto and 81k say tight motor to me...

edit: Had an epic dumb moment, its late ok :D

the engine looms should be the same it's just the loom that runs down the drivers side of the engine that the alternator, oil pressure switch, transmission etc run of that's different.

Main reason would be just to keep the manual box nice and cool. Im not exactly awesome with a manual, due to lack of experience, and wouldnt mind having some kid of insurance so i know that the box wont be rushing hot oil and such. I was just thinking this because i remember seeing the trans coolers on the gtr z-tune, and whilst looking pretty scmick, makes sense to me.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By MBS206 · Posted

      It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
