yeah its my new drift car.

its got 10:1 CR

no decompression.

when it f**ks out a piston, ill slap a 3litre bottom end in with some cheap forged pistons.

it should last for a while, its got good oil pressure and its got mega amounts of fuel going in.

The highest I ran was around 8psi, with some decent cams and a highflow turbo I think I could have pushed it a bit further. Also another thing which will be a benefit is getting some colder spark plugs...7 range.

thanks again dan...just wondering would i b able to run psi of boost more safely with forged pistons n 660cc injectors n those 7 range spark plugs...and would it also kick in around that same sorta rev range?

thank you sooo much.

If you're going to lower the compression when you put the forged pistons in, then yes you can run more boost. Guessing at the size injectors you want to put in you'll want to be chasing >18psi anyway to make use of all the extra fuel

ok sweet all ill need is forged pistons, 660cc injectors n those spark plugs n i can run that amount of boost, thats awesome...will the boost still kick in early? wat injectors would u recommend just to be able to run to about 15-16 psi safely?

Well it's more of a case of compression, there is no way that you can expect anything more than 12psi even that's with awesome cams and a great tune. Most people will be running ~8psi on 10:1 comp.

Forged pistons will drop the compression to whatever you want, but it will turn the engine effectively into a normal 25DET really, so the boost will kick in as it normally would with no advantage of high compression.

If you want to keep the high compression, take advantage of it with one of Slides highflows, run 8psi on normal 370cc injectors. It'll have awesome low-down torque and fairly respectable power.

ive got a problem with controlling boost, its running up to around 0.8 bar which is more that i want. there is a bleed valve on the wastegate line but its fully closed, i think it may be still causing a boost increase so im gonna bin it.

boost is instantaneous. i still havent hooked up the NVCS so it falls over pretty bad, and the plugs are gapped at 1.1 so it breaks down slightly, but once i overcome these probs, it will be great.

the only hole you have to drill is for the sump return fitting.

the RB25de doesnt have a oil drain from the turbine so one must be welded into the sump (unless you wanna machine the block - FLAG)

otherwise it all bolts on NO WORRIES MATE

just bolt it all on man... its a no brainer.

if anyone is planning to do this, i have the stock R33 intercooler and piping for sale atm, for $80 ono. just pm me, its all in very good condition btw.

Don't be fooled gents. its not only the compression factor, but the piston itself, the N/a pistons are not Hyperputectic. therefore, even with low boost pressures, after a while you will melt a piston.

By all means, do this upgrade! turbo is 100% better effecient power, than most other mods. But do plan to change your pistons over in the near future.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
