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

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.

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.

      Yes they do. For some maybe. But for those used the most by abusers, ie Skylines, the numbers are known. The stock eyebrow height for R32/3 Skylines is about 365/375mm or thereabouts. The minimum such heights are recorded in adjacent columns in the database.

      Hmmm, interesting. Makes me wonder whether there is bias as well. It's the cheapest fuel, so it is used for all kinds of ill-maintained shitboxes which are bound to have issues regardless. Nicer cars tend to require higher octane rated fuel and can't use it anyway. FWIW, the official NSW E10 facts page is decent.
