hey guys

at the moment im looking at upgrading a few items throughout the engine. Ive got an rb25de (non-turbo). I was looking around and found a few things. I came across an RB30 loom & plenum for sale.Firsrlt would this fit into an rb25 engine? Would it also fit into a non turbo version? And lastly would it give me a bit of power difference?

I then came across a bolt on turbo. It was a T0E4 turbo charger. It didnt come with a wastegate or gaskets. What would i be looking at to get this installed in an rb25? Would all the internals have to be changed? if so most the parts? would it just be worth getting an rb25det?

Cheers

agreed with Chris ^^ in the matter of selling the gts and getting a gtst......as modifying a gts to a turbo you will have more headaches then anything.....how about just get a DET motor and replacing the DE motor thats another cheap option mate.....you can pick up DET motors pretty cheap these days as well

Cheaper option - buy a gts-t.

Got money to spend? Then buy an rb25det, 5 stud brake upgrade, everything you will need engine wise (turbo, ecu, manifold, etc.), then get someone to fit it.

But the short answer to your question, no advantage of rb30 plenum, dunno why youd want an rb30 loom. Turbo means youd need to prepare your current engine for it, or see my second point.

part 1

5 stud rims $1000 drift teks needed 2x tires as well

2x bf goodridge $320

drill rotors to suit 4 stud $80

total $2550

part 2

    • Sane enough. Remove the roof liner, because the acid will go everywhere.
    • Thanks guys, I really appreciate the help and experienced opinions.  I have spent a lot of my life working on boats so I'm pretty good with fibreglass. I'll take everybody's advice in here;  I'll cut a little more of the 2nd layer away as it's a bit crunchy rust and also it's sitting high now. Then I'll wire brush it all a bit to get off anything loose, then I'll soak the bejesus out of it all in rust converter. I'll make sure to get a little hose piece and feed it into all the holes and gaps between the roof layers. Then I'll fibreglass up the holes.  Then I'll get a pallet of filler and mix it with 3 buckets of hardener and hope that is enough to build up the roof corner.  Does that sound sane? Is one type of filler better than others for this?
    • My goals for it atm are to get it registered, respray and some mild power gains eventually... I picked up the car from an elderly gentleman near the border of NSW and VIC, its honestly a bit rough and looks like its been driven on a farm (because there was so much dirt underneath). Last week I dropped the subframe and emptied the old fuel out + added a new fuel pump (think the old one went bad from old fuel). Now I'm onto fixing a coolant leak at the rear of the engine + adding a new radiator as the old one is corroded. After that i have a new bumper, coils (as the old were leaking) and lots more
    • Welcome buddy! Plenty on here and YouTube. What are your plans for it? Good luck with the Rwc and Rego bud!
    • Love this so much! Please post a photo when you have a bike on the trailer.  I was a little bit worried about having a tow bar on the Skyline, but having it hidden behind the number plate is genius
