hey guys

before you say, YES, i did do a search, found nothing to specifically help me.

i have a r32 gts-t and the seller, who was a chick mind you, told me its a rb25det engine, series 1 turbo. Now, i know a bit about it and i doubting weather or not it really is because its still a 2.0L 1998cc and only the rb20det came out like that, if it was the rb25 it would be 2.5L. Im pretty stumped so how can i find out what it actually is? Im not a pro at this kind of stuff but i do know a tad.

Also, if it is an after market turbo, not the stock rb20, how much would i look at if i wanted to remove it and how much effort. Being after market it shouldnt be too much right?

cheers

also im sorry if this is the wrong section, i couldnt find any other turbo related section.

I don't get it.

You say the seller told you it had an RB25 and you are saying it has a RB20 in it. So the seller lied to you or didn't know. I'm sorry I just don't get your question? Or do you not know what engine it is?

As for the turbo removal it isn't hard if you are handy with a spanner, why are you wanting to remove it though? You mean so you can change it for something else?

john post a photo of the engine bay

or pm a link to an engine bay photo

it will be the quickest way to work out what engine it has

and then for the turbo do the same

take a photo of the area and post it up or pm a link

there are obvious visual differences between the two (rb20det turbo and rb25det turbo) - regardless of what engine it is on, so it sohuld be easy to pick

    • Will have a look at that. I cant see any leaks 
    • Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.
    • Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
    • Hi Everyone I am from West Pennant Hills in NSW. Been too busy until recently to attend to my RB25DET Series 2 engine until recently. I am planning to stick it into the S15 shell at this stage, unless a nice SR20DET turns up... For now, i am going to try and get the RB25 running and working well then decide what gearbox to use. My preference is to retain the SR20DET  6 speed gearbox and tail shaft to retain as much and least modifications as i can avoid. I am an old guy and won't be doing any heavy drifting so i don't need a bullet proof gearbox Does anyone have experience with starting the RB on a stand? I got everything setup as much as I can with the info i can find... endless searching and videos on Youtube I would be great to get some pointers Cheers Songo
    • Hey all, Recently have had my s1 r33 gtr serviced and noticed my coolant reservoir was topped up to the max line. Took the car out for 1 yesterday and noticed today the reservoir is completely empty.  Any ideas? Radiator is full
