basically if i was to buy a turbo that will actually keep up with the rb25s hunger for air would 14 psi be too much? i would of course buy a haltech, malpassi etc... i just dont want to buy stuff if at the end my engine just falls apart.

1 bar will be fine, stock engine will handle it. Just get some kind of ecu management and you'll be fine. I'm runnng just over a bar on mine at the moment without a problem, i also have plans to go higher :( Don't worry about an adjustable fpr, waste of money IMO. What turbo are you looking at getting?

Josh,

Do you think adjustable FPR is a waste of time? Im trying to weigh up if I should chuck a bigger turbo on my stag..... Prob would just get a high flow for ease of instalment and dont have to worry about defect... Ive got all the supportive mods (FMIC, Turbo back, SITC, SAFC, EBC Splitfires ect ect...)

What else would I need to run the bigger turbo at say 14ish psi? Fuel pump? Injectors?

Yes get an upgrade fuel pump. Only reason to get an adjustable fpr is to push more fuel through your injectors than normal. For not much more money you can get a set of 480cc (or 550) injectors - a better idea in my view. Apart from a better turbo a quality professional tune is the key to max power.

Chris, as kiwi said, definitely get a new fuel pump, purely for the fact that the one you have now could be up to ~15 years old. fuel pump failure will cause lean mixtures and could potentially kill your engine.

adjustable FPR's can be used to allow you to get that little bit extra out of the stock injectors. the way i see it, why waste your time stuffing around with one running higher fuel pressures in a dodge attempt to save a little extra coin, just to find out that you are going to have to upgrade the injectors at a latter date anyway. adjustable FPR's have there place with aftermarket fuel rail setups that don't accommodate one, and then just use it to set the recommended base fuel pressure.

the only mods i'd add to your list would be, a decent fuel pump, and a better kind of engine management that the SAFC/SITC combo (all depending on the hiflows specs, you may get away with it). in the back of my mind would be injectors and AFM, but i'd wait to see how close to maxing them out i was first.

Ok so shopping list, feel free to make corrections and fill holes -

Management - nistune

turbo - ???

injectors - ???

Fuel pump - bosch 040

thanks for any info

what power level are you aiming for steven?

a couple of options could be, the GT3076 seems to be a favourite among RB25 owners. not too laggy and good top end result. but will require a different dump pipe, and oil/water lines, intake pipe. if your not after big power the smaller GTRS is a good responsive turbo and i believe they come in a bolt on kit that bolts up to the stock dump pipe pattern.

after you work out what power level your aiming for you can then size your injectors, if you need them. if you do 500-600cc is a good size to look at. you should go over to the forced induction section of the forum and start going through the RB25 dyno results thread and look at other peoples setups and the results they got.

I don't have a power figure I'm chasing. Just want a reliable 1bar. If I can get it to out run an aurion I will be happy. But it's more of a me being stuck in my old ways. My celica I set up to run 1 bar and it was just a nice number. ATM I just over the boost cut on cold nights. If possible I wanted to keep my stock outlet location on the turbo and still use my jjr dump.

just get a nistune board installed and tuned for 11-12psi on the stock turbo and you wont be far off that. stock injectors and afm will be fine. see how that feels and if you still want more then do the turbo.

      Unknown sound similar to BOV on positive boost with partial throttle RB26

      By nouveau_poor · Posted

      I certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly

      R34 Skyline Sunroof Won't Tilt/Vent

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.

      It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣

      R34 Skyline Sunroof Won't Tilt/Vent

      By ShezzDogs · Posted

      Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
