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.)

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
