That is a massive turbo, if your going something that big you should either know what you are doing or be taking the advice of a GOOD mechanic.

No offense intended mate, but this sort of question is not one that needs to be asked... You are looking at a turbo capable of over 1000HP.. Which in turn will be a $xx000 engine setup. Note both numbers are missing, meaning I dare not assume it will be under 20 or even 30.

Just to put things into perspective, a 35R can run a 10. So the question is, what do you hope to do with a GT47?

Don't take on a setup like this unless you have $50,000 to spend. This $50k can be spent two ways:

1. Really good setup with all the correct parts and advice and you'll do 9's all day. You won't crack 8's because you need the chassis set up properly and the cost doubles

2. Buy all the cheap shit parts around to get it to work and spend $50k fixing your setup for every time it breaks

take a look at the mercury motorsport nitto, it has a GT47 on a built 2.7l RB26, can only imagine its a LOT more work to get it performing on a 25.

There is no reason why it wont go on a RB25, but for it to work effeciently is a whole different story

Yup thats what I was going to say, talk to mercury motorsport. I believe they use nos to reduce the lag, plus a fully designed setup with lots of experience in big power cars.

No reducing the lag on a GT4788. But if anyone would know about bolting a stupidly big turbo onto a RB trent would be the guy to talk too.

47 on a 25 .. goose.

my 26/30 will be running a gt42 and i reckon that a tad ovakill, couldnt imagine it with a 47 and an even smaller engine lol

Oh come come now - you can't really call him a goose given some of your recent posts! :whistling:

    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
