I used to run a built RB25 in my HQ (auto box) making 280ish rwkw @ 20psi. It was very fast once on boost (GT3082R) but it was still relatively laggy with this turbo. I then built a RB30 bottom end and matched it to the same turbo, the car made more power @ 18psi and 1000ish RPM earlier. It was the best decision I ever made and I absolutely regret wasting my money on building the original RB25. The 30 is just so much smoother and nicer to drive. So much power and torque down low and it just pulls and pulls and pulls. If I could do it all again, I would go straight to an RB30 bottom end... Especially on a street car when low RPM cruising is essential. I'm now running a GT3540 and it still makes boost earlier than the 25 with small turbo and its a billion times better to drive. Thats my experience :P

How about all those Supras, RX7's and Big V8's running 800rw/hp with 9-10sec passes that are all RWD?

I think it comes down to decent suspension, tyre setup and launch control.

From what I have read, the RB25/30 will be a great street/drag combo however just waiting to take a drive in Dave's car to see how the new RB25 + turbo setup goes :worship:

Hmmm I await your impressions QRI05E, I'm in the same boat as ya, got a r33 gtst s2 bone stock (engine wise) and looking for idea's xD. alas the age old debate, rb25 or rb30/25....plus being in nrth qld limits my engine builders down a bit.

any suggestions onto who does 'mail in' engines? I'm doing research ^^;

Nothing stopping you shipping the engine/bits down to them to get it built.

Bubba, missed that post will pm you some.

Spoke to Adam my tuner today and here is what we have decided.

Stock RB25DET Neo

- High mount twin scroll manifold

- Garrett GT35R with .82 rear

- Bosch 040

- 800cc injectors

- SARD FPR

- FMIC

- Greddy Plenum

- Q45 Throttle

- Full exhaust

- Haltech E11v2

Should see easily 300rw/kw

Drive around for a while... then when I need more power... RB25/30DET with the same setup should see 400rw/kw

twin scroll manifold with non twin scroll rear housing on the turbo?

i am not sure if a 040 will support 300-400kw, you may want to look into using a 044 instead.

forget the sard fuel pressure reg waste of money, 800cc injectors will outflow a GT35R @ stock fuel pressure.

Agreed.

That, and with that turbo, why not throw an RB30E in there, run less boost, make more torque and earlier, and have a much more streetable setup?

I will be throwing in the RB25/30 in there eventually... just didnt see the point of ripping out a perfectly good engine. The reason for the GT35R is to that when I do decide to build the RB25/30 I wont need to update the turbo.

Would a T04Z be overkill? Im thinking about the new Garrett GT3788R... Any ideas?

What's the resoning behind changing the throttle body exactly?

All it'll do is hard throttle control. Not like the factory unit doesn't flow enough, everyone else has made 380rwkw out of it easily enough.

From what I have seen, all the 400kw+ RB's switch to a larger throttle but we'll see how we go.

Will I run onto any issues with the RB25 Neo head on the RB30? I have read a few posts with people running into a few issues such as the bolting up a Greddy plenum with the factory thottle body.

Where have you seen this exactly?

Just because people change a part, does not mean it's a requirement or needed. Some people just get caught up in what they get fed.

recent thread come up about this actually!

R31Nismoid - Thanks for the info, like I said, i might just wait and see how we go.

Anyone used a GT3788R on a RB25 yet?

If youwant streetable response, look at the GT3076 or the 3082.

When that gets thrown on the RB25/30, you'll have an unreal combination that will NOT have to be revved, but will be able to when needed.

    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
    • Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.
    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
