hi guys

i have a GQ patrol with a RB25DET in it and was thinking of the best way to go to get more low end power but yet it can still hold its own in the top end i would like to get at lest 200kw at the wheels but keeping in mind i'am not running 17's i have 35x12.5 15

i was thinking hi-flow R33 turbo, 550cc injectors, maybe power FC or nistune, front mount but dont know what size was thinking 600x300x50 with 2.5" in and out let...i can't think of anything els

what do you guys think any help would be good

Your best bet is to look through RB25 Dyno results thread and go from there for turbo selection.

But what you have planned, it sounds like a recipe for what you want.

Since RB25DET have VCT, ask your tuner to tune for VCT to come in early for low end power if possible.

from what Ive noticed, Hi-flows tend to make there power high in the rev range, you want low end power change your turbo choice maybe or at least tell the person doing the hi-flow that its for a 4x4and not a car ........other than that Id think your on target..

Even look for something like a HKS 2530, will be super responsive still and give you the power your after.

Probably wont need larger injector's, deffinatley go a larger front mount.

Dont forget to, that with big 35"s you will show a lower figure on the dyno, changing to smaller tyres to get it tuned will result in the 200rwkw easier.

Last option is more expensive but try and get a RB30 bottom end.

Is the HKS 2530 bigger then the stock turbo??..if so it will not fit as the stock turbo is just about sitting on the engine mount

i was thinking about the RB30 bottom end but was told that it is not as reliable

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
