Rb25de (supercharged) Project


Recommended Posts

I should make a fancy coil pack cover with the new designation on it....mmmmm Cheers for the idea Will!

So long as you make the new coil pack cover so it reads "RB25...DER!"

Something twin charged, thats for sure. Looks like the turbo feeds into the supercharger, which looks like a factory unit, probs the one of the 4agze?? Or maybe they merge together, its hard to see.

Looks quite intricate though.

Im working on the merge collectors today and then onto the rest of the headers. I have holidays this week and I hope to get this part close to done this week!

Twin charged 2JZ

The supercharger feeds into the turbo (not how I would have done it, but far less piping I spose) to minimise lag.

and here's a pic of the turbo before it went it :P

Thats insane! Looks like it will rip some mean skids! Where is it located?

Here are the two merge collectors ready for vband rings, which I dont have yet...Anybody know of places that have 2.5" and 3" vband rings with clamps?

Got them expanded down the road at Macs Mufflers at Brendale! Did it while I waited which was good. Cost me $30.

Time to clean up the insides!

All the merge collectors I found that could be bought from an exhaust shop were not proper merge style ones. They were the old fashion way with pipes tacked together and a conical sheet rolled around it and then shaped around the pipes and welded up. I wanted to this bit properly and challenge myself....it did take the better part of today though. But it was my first go at doing this....surely thats a good enough excuse lol.

Good thing GCG has the vbands! Woot! Problem solved.

Actually I have done abit. I havent bothered with a proper update yet as I never got the exhaust finished. I have done the extractors and down to the 2 into 1 merge and left it at that for the moment. As of today I have the motor and gbox out and the bottom end stripped for inspection and a few mods and tweaks to be done before it all goes back together and then back in.

I didnt go into any detail in making the headers like I originally wanted. They are far from equal length and abit messy. It took ages to do and it was a pita. I couldnt make it equal length or close too like the UK guys did in their race car because I still have heater lines and wiring and other crap along the firewall and so had to place things differently. But as you will see from the pictures 1,2 and 3 go where they need too inorder to clear the intake and 4,5 and 6 basically go straight down into the collector. The other main hold up before coating is my egt sensor setup from america is being held in customs as it was over 1k :( I gotta fill out all the bullshit paper work and go pay the extra tax before I can collect. Once I get them I can weld in the fittings and paint the whole thing or maybe get it ceramic coated and then heat wrap it all and have it ready for installation.

The motor looked great when stripped down. I rebuilt it like 3-4 years ago and since then havent looked after it very well, gave it shit oil and hardly changed it. The oil that came out of it was quite black and burnt. Yet the bearings were damn near perfect apart from a few polished areas on some, but the majority were still with factory coating and discolouration. I was amazed as this car hasnt been treated very nicely when it was being used. Many burn outs and thrashings have been given over that time!

So I gotta do a few adjustments to the factory oil pump and then some new seals front and back, fit the twin plate, possibly modifying the std sump to hold a couple litres more oil, reassemble the bottom end and then chuck it in and finish off the exhaust and fuel system side and hopefully try and get it started! :D With any luck I wont have a million things to try and fix before it runs reliably.

Thats about all I got for the moment. Once I get a good amount accomplished I will post up a big one!

    • I don't know if this is accurate. The EPC places the EPS control unit somewhere in the engine bay or somewhere in the interior near the firewall, presumably because the things it's controlling mostly live up in the front of the car unlike HICAS which has a whole steering rack on the rear axle to handle. @D.phantom The R32 GTR manual actually has more than I give credit for talking about the non-HICAS cars: You can probe the pins on the diagnostic connector directly to read the EPS solenoid voltage as far as I can tell following the flow chart.
    • Hi all, so I bought a very low kms 2019 Q60s in Nov 2022 and have been driving it stock for 17 months. The power from the VR30DETT has been a little scary as these cars did not come with a LSD. Although the ECU does well with compensating the lack of LSD by using automatic braking on different wheels when there is lost of traction etc, it does not really give me much confidence to push the car harder. Further to that, the car feels quite boaty especially around sharper corners or roundabouts - it would seem like the wheels are lifting on one side. These engines are also very prone to heat soak as the heat exchanger is tiny. I felt this during the heat wave in WA over summer even in normal driving. Gear shifting in the Q60 is also something that I hated - it's quite harsh at low speeds especially in traffic.  I recently purchased a set of f&r sway bars, rear diff brace and a heat exchanger from Z1 in US. Here are my thoughts 1) Rear diff brace - no more wheel hop when accelerating quickly. wheel spin still present but manageable comparing to before. Gear shifts are now smoother, you can still tell its shifting etc but you dont feel the harshness. I would highly recommend this mod, and it should still be on sale at Z1 at the moment. 2) Sway bar - there are 2 settings for this F - 114%/165% increase in stiffness over stock and R - 138%/214% increase in stiffness over stock. Currently I am on the stiffer settings. The car feels very planted. Due to the weather over here I have not been able to test if i need to reduce the stiffness. So far it's much more comfortable to drive over stock as you dont feel like your car is lifting up and in fast turns you can control the car a lot better while turning left and right in quick succession.  3) HX - the Z1 HX has a much higher capacity and surface area (up to 200% or something). Again with the cooler weather it's a little hard to tell. I went with the Z1 HX due to the price, size and colour (black). You can't see the HX through the front bumper. There is a cheaper brand but it was smaller and the rest were more expensive which i didnt think was worth the extra since I won't track this car much at all. All 3 mods were easy to install, all plug and play. Note of caution, the front bar needed to come off for the HX to be installed.  
    • A is the HICAS CU.  As far as I know, there are no other modules located at A in a car with HICAS, so it is fair to presume that F is the variable power steer module for non-HICAS cars. Same location, give or take. Makes sense - the wiring loom for the HICAS cars has the speed signal, power, solenoid drive, etc wires all present there - so why move the module and have to upend the wiring loom?   Having said the above though, it may be the case that F is further down in the rear guard - it's hard to tell. In which case it may be something else. Yes, it is the multi-pin plug next to the under dash fuse box. Top left corner. Can't miss it. Be very careful though - use insulated probes to poke around in there so  you don't accidentally short 12v to ground or an ECU input etc etc.
    • They didn't. This is their comments; I'm not sure why they don't have the OEM specs.
