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.

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
