hey guys just bought myself a cheap r32 to get back into drifting with

have been an sr20/silvia man up till now so know little about whats the best way to go about modding a rb20det, however im guessing the basics are much the same to an sr

not looking to spend much $ at all

all the car has atm is a fmic and zaust and boost tap currently running standered boost atm.

ok so question #1 - are stock r32 fuel pumps as shit as stock silvia fuel pumps, aka soon as u wind up the boost they lack pumping power, how much rwkw can the stockers hold?

#2 2nd hand r33 turbos are cheap as chips, is it worth bolting one on over the standard 32 turbo?

#3 without a after market ecu/tune what is the max but safest boost level to run? assuming i have a r33 turbo on the car

#4 are there any cheap piggy back/ ecu retunes that are popular with rb's

#5 with a tune and r33 turbo whats the likly rwkw i will see? is 180 possible? if so at what kw do the standard injectors need replacing

thanks heaps looking forward to your responses :P

1. Yes. How long is a piece of string? put a decent (read: Bosch minimum) fuel pump in.

2. Yes. Good bang for buck. Untuned, I got an extra 50rwhp and more fun in the top end.

3. Wind it up until it pings. With the stock RB20 turbo my engine handled 14psi and made ~200rwhp. With the RB25 turbo is would only take 12psi (14psi and she pinged) but made ~250rwhp.

4. Plenty, but better off saving up and Nistuning it.

5. 180rwkw with a tune is easy, mine was mkaing 183ish (~250rwhp) without a tune. Stock injectors should be good for almost 200rwkw.

I still have the stock on mine and its going fine at 140rwkw but for peace of mind and at only a few hundred buckes go the 040.

#2 Yep do it, if you can get the 45v2 (the series 2 turbo)

#3 after putting my rb25 turbo on i have 13:1 (dangeresly lean) AFR untill 5000 rpm were it fuel dumps and the AFR become 11.5: (what you wont the whole time) also i gained 2 rwkw (rb20 turbo at 14psi) with the boost set at 5psi.

#4 go with nistune ist about $480 plus tune.

#5 im hopeing for 160-170 rwkw at 12psi.

No they won't, not without fuel pressure bumped up.

3 Possible reasons

1: Dyno readin fudged

2: You Don't have stock injectors(higflowed or a/m)

3: Fuel Pressure Bumped up

1: highly doubt it, reputable tuner here in Perth that I have used a fair bit and he wasn't trying to sell me anything

2: they were completely stock.

3: stock fpr.

Srsly guys, it is NOT a clear cut THIS IS WHEN YOU WILL MAX SOMETHING OUT.

Tell me, who has maxed a stock afm? and the circumstances?

RB20DET, stock afm, stock injectors, stock ecu, 12psi through RB25 turbo, 183rwkw - AFM NOT MAXED

I then went RB30DET, stock afm, stock injectors, stock ecu, 12psi through RB25 turbo, 183rwkw (a lot sooner) - AFM MAXED AT ~6000rpm

But anyway, a dyno is NOT a COMPARISON tool unless you are all using the SAME dyno on the SAME day with the SAME parameters.

If you are going to argue with me about 20hp, then you're a dickhead.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      When you crank your car, and hit it with a timing light, can you see a steady crank timing?

      Oh, forgot to add, A few months ago I was getting mixture codes and the car was using crap loads of fuel. You could smell the unburned fuel in the exhaust, it was crazy strong. Economy was over 17.5 l/100 and usually around 19. I smoked the engine and found a leaky CCV hose which I replaced and then I replaced my two pre cat O2 sensors, I also replaced the MAF. This fixed my mixture codes and improved my exonomy but I'm still 14 - 15 l/100 when pottering about town so something is still amiss. Throttle response is much better and it has more pep but I'd like to know why it's still so thirsty (and I'm hoping that whatever it is gives me a bit more poke).

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Hello all, currently finishing up a rb25 swap into my s14. Having issues with starting, car has spark (confirmed by pulling a plug and watching it spark), has fuel(confirmed by checking pulse/voltage at injectors all spark plugs are soaked in fuel). Car cranks over and pops into the exhaust with a heavy fuel smell but no attempt to start or run, I have torn the timing cover off and triple confirmed timing, turned the CAS in multiple spots both directions, attempted to start with coolant temp and maf unplugged, checked my fuel lines and made sure they weren’t backwards, checked voltage at cas/injectors/coilpacks, made sure all the grounds in the harness are connected and added a few grounding straps (1 from chassis to block, 1 from chassis to head, and 1 from chassis to igniter chip) I am getting stumped here. As a last ditch effort I made a full grounding harness tonight that’s going to run from the battery and add an extra ground from the battery onto the coil pack harness/igniter chip/ intake manifold/ Wiring specialties harness ground/ and alternator. I’m hoping maybe the grounding harness will fix it here but posting here to see if anyone has any other ideas on what else I can check. My fuel pressure is unknown right gauge will be here tomorrow.  IMG_3206.mov

      yeah I was shocked when I checked my spare OEM on and as below that's how they come from Nissan. (side interesting note new NEO gearbox and replacement park lack the brass bush on the tips and its just all alloy) unsure about damage to the box currently back at 1110 to be pulled down/inspected and selector fork replaced as he built it previously and given the never before seen failure on his billet forks he is replacing it under warranty. He said he has used always OEM the keyway tab without issue for years so it could be an unlucky coincidence. I did talk to him about the sharp corners and stress concentration too. Re: hard shifts i got 7+ years out of the OEM one and the fork itself failed not the keyway. so could be bad luck as I said or an age thing + heat cycles in box and during fabrication of billet?
