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.

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
