like said in previous posts. im knew to the whole skyline bit,

looking to get more power from the car.

its relatively stock.

with front and rear sway bars.

adjustable coilover all way round.

walbro fuel pump

eboost controller

turbo timer.

what do people suggest as a start.

oh and its running 10psi

how much you aiming for?

standard exhaust im guessing? if it is, call Andrew at AM Performance on 0401865373 and get him to hook you up with a turbo back system.

get yourself a front mount kit, id just buy a cheapo chinese core and again see Andrew to do the plumbing.

crank it up to 14psi, have everything checked out a dyno, and enjoy it for a bit.

then when you get bored (you will), start looking at turbos (steel wheel highflow will see you into the 200's), injectors, and ecu's.

then when youve got all that taken care of, start looking at keeping your engine reliable. oil cooler, maybe an ungraded radiator.

but before all that, basic brake upgrades. some rotors (rda slotted rotors are available cheap cheap like a budgie in the group buy section), uprated pads (i and many others will recommend qfm pads) and a set of braided lines.

forget about these waste of time/money mods dave has mentioned.

get yaself 1 of these puppys

you'll be ripping 10sec 1/4miles the second it go's on

Fark! I was going to get one of these instead.... good thing I read this one first hey ;)

sorry i forgot to mention it has a FMIC and as far as im aware it has a turbo back exhaust.

cheers for the ideas and suggestions. but in relation to cranking it up to 14psi. i was told to go no higher than ten because the stock turbo can not handle much more or something like that.

What he said ^ Just make sure you get the AFR's checked out on a dyno.

Edit: Hypergear say thier highflowed stocker can pull 225RWKW @ 16PSI on a RB20, so it would be higher for a RB25.

You will need to upgrade injectors, AFM, fuel pump plus look at your ECU to get those power levels safely, though.

a quick check inside the passenger left footwell will tell you what ecu you have. 14psi, hiflow turbo, 55cc injectors and fuel pump should see you safely into the 200's

cheers for ya help. already got the fuel pump, where would you reccomend for getting my turbo highflowed. and the 55cc injectors

Wow! I never knew RB25s could use such small injectors. No wonder they are such pussy engines. ;)

*Make sure your sarcasm alert is set to the 'on' position*

lol @ 55cc injectors. my lawn mower uses bigger squirters! ;)

send your turbo to hypergear for a highflow (theyre in the traders section here and on ns), itll run you about 800 samolians. 550cc injectors you can get basically anywhere, send a pm to dohmar on here, hes got a pretty decent thing going on with some americans (yeah, i know...) for cheap injectors.

You will need 550cc injectors, he left off a 0 lol

I have never used them, but Ive heard good things about Hypergear (www.digi-hardware.com)

What fuel pump do you have?

Also, you will probably need a Z32 air flow meter.

Then there is a couple of different options for ECU and tuning. You could go a Apexi PowerFC and have it tuned, the FC is ~$1500, then you need tuning. Or, call Jeff at The Speed Lab (0434637357) and have a talk to him. This will be cheaper.

    • 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?
