Hey all

I know this questions probably been asked a million times but...

I'm doing a swap between my rb25de for the rb25det

yes I know I can put a turbo on the rb25de with changing compression and all that but I don't want to be restricted in hp or anything else...

No I don't want to just sell my car and buy the turbo version I like the kit I got and it was a birthday present from the wife so yeah can't change the car...

I want/need to know exactly:

what is different?

what I will need?

what I can keep from the rb25de and put in/on the det

everything!

I plan to buy a complete engine but if I can get away with just buying the engine and other needed parts separately (only if it turns out cheaper obviously lol) then I'd do that

any help on this would be great!

Thanks

rip old donk out and drop the new one in. plumb all the piping up and swap the ECU's.

Should get you outta trouble, you will have to cut holes for the intercooler piping etc and run a better fuel pump than the NA version.

Just buy a turbo ecu, turbo injecotrs, exhaust manifold, turbo, oil and water lines, crossover pipe, turbo inlet pipe (inc plumb back and breatherpipes), bov and FMIC kit, and bolt it all to your current car, set your ignition timing to 15 degree's and away you go, on stock management you will make heaps of power- more than a turbo model would, just run like 9-10psi, which is all you should be running on stock turbop and management anyway.

Else, if you must buy the full new engine, sell me you N/A engine, so i can put it in the R33 with a blown TURBO engine, thats sitting in my driveway.... :( (and i'll just bolt all the turbo gear onto it, and make more power than it did before it died)

ok how much $$$ would you reckon:

turbo ecu

turbo injectors

exhaust manifold

turbo

oil and water lines

crossover pipe

turbo inlet pipe (inc plumb back and breatherpipes)

bov

FMIC kit

and how hard is it to change ignition timing

cause i can get a rb25det for about $2000

btw thanks for all the advice so far

will be cheaper and easier to buy the whole motor, I have a stock gtst ECu lying around so pm me if you need one (just remind me who you are and which thread or ill ignore it)

thanks a heap

btw id still like to know how much those parts will cost if i was to choose to go the +t way

how long is a piece of string?

go on ebay or whatever australian second hand trading site you have, and price it up from there.

buying a crate engine will most likely be cheaper.

that being said, im spending approximately the same amount of money on a +t build, except i'll have all aftermarket gear, a decent tune, fueling to support 300rwkw, and i'm aiming for mid 200's.

    • Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy. 
    • New [400]Z, they're available in manual and you don't have to worry about parts scarcity. 
    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
