hey all ive been looking for quite some time now about putting a turbo onto the rb2de engine. (its my partners car and she wont stop nagging me to do it gah!)

so i just want to confirm a few things and see if this is ok.

shes not wanting to get massive gains or anything basicly... she just wants her car to go... pshh.. the end...

i no i no but im not paying for the parts etc guys!!

so shes got parts wise a RB25DE Series 2, series 2 turbo, manifold, intercooler +piping, down pipe.

shes only going to be running the BARE MINIMUM boost, my questions are. the engines got the stock rb25 injectors and fuel pump and ecu in it... with only running like 5 - 7psi (i think thats around the stock actuator?) can we get away with still using the stock fuel pump, injectors and ecu or can we just get a DET fuel pump and leave the injectors and ecu as standard.

thanks for any help guys... ANY would be good, the sooner and cheaper this can be done the sooner she gets off my back so i can work on my car, which im sure many of you have had this issue with partners haha :P

    • Hey keep the ideas coming, I'm always keen on projects! But, problem fixed!  I got a cheapie ozito scope from Bunnings and had a good look in and around the bearing and sensor hole. I couldn't see a smoking gun but the bearing looked a bit strange, especially when comparing with a new one. I thought the cover had come off the bearing magnets.  Sorry for pics of a screen, I didn't have an SD card.     Good thing I had the old one to inspect. So, given I'm like a pit crew with wheel bearings and luckily I had a spare bearing because I f**ked up my parts order, I decided to just smash it out. Got the old one out in about an hour. So much easier when the parts haven't had a chance to rust together yet. 😂 And, well, found the problem.    In the second pic at about the 8 o'clock position, you'll see what I think is the tip of the old sensor.  The new sensor has definitely been rubbing but it's all intact, just a little shiny so I'm hoping it's fine.  The car brakes perfectly now and no errors.  I think the job took about 2.5h in the end. 👍🏻 I really appreciate the help in here as usual. Thanks guys.
    • I was only looking because I saw some drops on the ground but it wasn't alot. Recently had it serviced will ask the mech to confirm. Find it strange that it looks standard though, can see in another photo of a random box 
    • So...not sure if you know if that has always been there or why you went looking. It could be old damage from a clutch explosion, or even just the gearbox got dropped somewhere along the line. Basically, you should seal it up to stop oil and dust getting into the bellhousing, but it doesn't matter too much and is not structural. I'd suggest something like a glob of JB Weld. BTW what gearbox oil are you running, I would guess the breather has been spewing it everywhere.
    • Hey Duncan thanks for your reply. Sorry mate I know the photos are shit.  Took another photo for reference. Seems the casing does have a hole in it looking on the net, fluid seeping out. Added a photo   
    • Very hard to make out what you mean, is it the squarish hole with redline shockproof (probably) under it? Is that pic from on top of the engine with the firewall to the left of pic and engine to the right? Either way, spray the area liberally with degreaser and try again, maybe circle the part you are worried about
