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 ;) i have added a pic of what she look like .

Nice effort!!! Glad you gleaned some useful info from this thread :P It is worth doing and can be done very well as your numbers prove.

thanks guys just what i wanted to hear, i wont want to do any tuning or boosting, just want low boost to give some decent low down torque that the n/a sucks arse at.... so i should definately use the rb25det ecu, and what turbo will best suit the rb25de, the rb20 or rb25 turbo? and will i have to mod my loom at all for the turbo ecu

If you upgrade the injectors, fuel reg and fuel pump to GTSt spec, then the RB25DET ECU will be fine and be plug 'n' play. Bolt on an RB25DET turbo and run at stock actuator pressure and it should all work a treat.

Don't get a smaller turbo as it will spool *way* too early.

It's not so much about the power numbers but the response with running an engine spec like this. Run with an intelligent tune there is no reason why it wouldn't/couldn't be reliable, possibly more economical, and with the sort of power that works well on the street.

That said, do we have any dyno sheets of any description?

Here's a graph of my RB25DET running 12psi to achieve 300hp. It's not overpowering, but very useful and responsive. The dip right at the top end is from pulling ignition to combat knock. I've considered that a well thought-out DE-spec engine with similar power numbers would be even nicer, response wise on the street. Perhaps water-meth is the key to making one detonation proof?

how hard/difficult would it be to take out the rb25de from an r33 series 2 manual, and put in an rb25det engine and ecu?

what would be needed? would all the wiring match up? im guessing it wont....

any help would be great

thanks :)

Hi Shawny,

Nice numbers. What mods do you have on your car? I am a new member here, from Canada, and have been having all sorts of troubles. If you can help me with stuff here, I would be grateful. I have an RB25DE with an R33 turbo on it, Trust FMIC, 370cc injectors, Turbosmart BOV and boost controller, with stock RB20DET ECU and Gredy E-Manage). Everything else is stock from my RB20DET days. Since they are new to Canada (how pathetic this is, lol), not many people know how to fix a Skyline, at least not as much as Australia or UK or Japan.

I am having troubles with idling (The TPS I am using is for the RB25DE, but my ECU is RB20DET, and the AAC valve is not working)....the cars sputters and backfires a lot, it hesitates under load and when I give gas. The power just doesnt seem to be there. Right now, after being dynoed once (260 rwhp), it has started sputtering between 2000-4000 rpm range, and the sudden bog/hesitation is still there. I dont know what is going on. What do you suggest? Also, please do share what youve done to your motor to get such impressive numbers. My motor also has the VCT on the intake side, but I dont know how to activate it with a switch.

Thanks,

Judas

i have a neo st8 6 is it easy to fit a turbo on it i have been told

to Find a R33 with a turbo and fit it... (cheeper option)

and to fit a kit (if i can find one) will be around 13,000 bucks

but its hard to find one because the darn company went in 2 relaps and stop making turbos 4 the

neo st8 6

errr have u not read the start of the post dinobones? all u need is just a stock R34 turbo with FMIC/or SMIC with standard turbo computer and the oil lines tapped and water lines etc....then your all good to turbo and do something with the timing and thats it :P no need 13 000

CHeers

Munib, are u sure the car is not going into rich and retard, i had same sort of prob when i had a piggy backed na ecu, microtech solved my dramas but some sort of timing control is akll u might need

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • 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.
