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

    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
