Just want to know what sort of boost a RB25 can handle with a standard bottom end?

Also if anyone has any experiance with auto trans in r33, how much power can they handle before they fail? and

How power loss compares between auto and manual trans in a 33?

Any help would be appreciated.

Have seen around 50psi.

I've seen autos handle 250rwkw and heard of them breaking at 220rwkw

About 50hp loss I think

This has been covered A LOT of times, please search through the forums and you will learn the answers.

The simple fact is there is no such thing as "how much boost can they handle".

Boost doesn't kill engines.

Running 20psi from a T28 at 7000RPM making 250rwkw is a lot different from running 15psi from a T04Z at 7000RPM making 350rwkw. *figures are just made up*

Please research into what "Boost" actually means as turbos don't technically make boost, they produce high amounts of airflow that increases as the RPM increases which in turn is too much for the engine to swallow and therefore the pressure builds up in the intake system. This pressure is what we call boost. If you get a good understanding of how turbochargers work and what actually can destroy/make an engine fail you will learn a lot.

Also let's please not go into the whole drivetrain loss argument, that has been covered to death aswell.

Here are two of probably the best threads regarding drivetrain loss that I know of on these forums. Once you read should cover everything (Also saves this thread from turning into one of them again.)

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?

      Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
