Im gonna run 10, thats my absolute limit. Im running 6.5 atm, car spools nicely. Its weird having it on boost at around 2200rpm, then thinking, gee this is pulling hard, then that weird ass top end power comes on and your off twice as hard. Great fun

Yeah I had the same with my car, it was bizzare...the top-end was impressive

  • 5 weeks later...

For anyone interested in doing this conversion, I made 210rwkw and 475nm on Dr drifts dyno today @ 9psi with stock injectors, stock ecu & stock R31 fuel pump, cooler and high flow t3/4

666Dan, how much boost was the turbo making from off idle?

I've worked on a few RB25DE's which have had RB20 turbos fitted to them and they were practically making boost when idling. Massive torque down low but runs out of top end very quick... One of those cars now runs a fairly insane turbo/setup (still high C/R for response), makes about 300 rwkw or so, that was done nearly two years ago and its still going, really needs good tuning to keep them together....

hey man, i wanna turbo my r33 rb25de what computer do i run, some ppl say rb20det and some say rb25det, some say the rb20det wont work with the vvt etc and the rb25det is too hard to tune, im confused i can get all rb20det parts real cheap but dont wanna do it unles i know what ecu will plug in and work, can i get away with just a std turbo ecu and tuning and no link or safc etc as im on a tight budget, only want to run stock std boost...

cheers guys

my sugestion is if your on a tight budget then wait until you got the money to do it properly, you never know what might go wrong and end up costing you shit loads to rectify, as for ecu, i would not sugest any standard ecu as it will not be safe to drive, possibly a standard TURBO ecu with a piggy back, but aftermarket is always best, as for r32 ecu it will work but i think something has to be done to it to make it work ie some pins have to change or somethingh and it will need to be re-mapped and you will need an aftermarket cam controller, dr. drift suply and fit r32 re-mapped ecu's with cam controler for around the $1300 including dyno time, or you could spend the extra 500ish for an aftermarket unit tuned,

As these guys have said, if you're not after full tunability, the stock ECU is fine..generaly the tune on it is quite well suited to the higher compression. Stick and SAFC/emanage on it if you want to adjust a bit more.

I have just finished my turbo conversion in the uk and made 310 bhp and 275 lb/ft torque at 9psi would highly recomend this conversion to any one . Thanks for the idear and info 666DAN with out this forum and your info i would still be driving a 200ish bhp A/N and wanting more power . So thanks again :O i have added a pic of what she look like .

hey mate wat mods do u have in ur car to make that sorta power?

Hi mate i have a 100mm front mount intercooler and hard pipe kit , GReady E01 with Emanage , FSE fuel pressure reg and fuel pump , Gready turbo elbow down pipe cat pipe and 2" N/A nismo exhaust , Apexi oil cooler , HKS and Green induction kit with cold air feed , engine circle earth with voltage stabeliser , uprated blow off valve with about 4 hours on the dyno and in the process of fitting 25 shot of nos and intercooler sprayer which should give about 40bhp on top of the 310

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
