Hey all,

Just need some help regarding my chase for power.

Ive got basic mods at the moment(fmic, and exhaust lol). I want to run a gt3076r but internally gated and on the standard manifold to keep it looking stockish.

Anyway, I need to know what else I will need. Ive done all my reading but I'm stumped on injectors.

Are 550cc top feeds enough? Ive already got a bosch 040 and a nismo fuel regulator. I just need injectors. Should I go 740's? Does brand matter? I see Siemens and this other brand that starts with D going fairly cheap.

Its on an Rb25 motor. Ive found the turbo I want(direct bolt into stock position). Ive set aside about 2.5k for the turbo, injectors and the tune.

injectors need to be side feed for rb25. 555s will be enough for 270rwkw but if you can get decent 740s for the same/similar price you might aswell get them, incase you ever go e85.

you'll be sturggling to do it all properly for 2.5k

The turbo I'm getting for $1100.

Braided lines apparently $75 http://cgi.ebay.com....=item4155198a0e

Injectors about $700

Nistune about $700

T3 gasket and 5 bolt gasket about $60

Stud kit for turbo about $100

Its just a tad bit over $2500.

Its hard to find GT3071's. I could always get a rebuild with GT3071 internals as my old turbo was the same... Too many options and seriously when you look at all the options it just confuses me.

The injectors I found are 550cc top feed nismos so I would need a new rail...

Ive removed and replaced my turbo on my old car a couple times. Ive removed and installed the fuel rail my self. Only thing I haven't done was install the fuel pump but there are guides for that. I think I can do the physical/mechanical work my self. I would have someone with me giving me a hand and probably also knows what they're doing so we can do it right.

Denso are the ones I have heard off, pretty cheap too.

what about oil drain, 10mm spacer, longer studs, actuator and bracket, dump pipe, intake/cooler piping changes?

then theres oil, filter, coolant etc that you'd change at the same time, it all adds up

I wouldn't need the spacer, well thats what I was told, as the turbo is has a different exhaust housing which will make it fit directly onto the rb25 without fouling against the rocker covers. I have factored those in as worst case. I am going to need an actuator but someone told me I can use the actuator off my skyline and just use the boost controller to take care of the extra boost. The cooler piping is my only concern. I see people running silicone bends and all this stuff, I'd really prefer to get something fabricated. I was quoted about $60 - $100 for the bends made from aluminum.

Ive got all the oils and coolants already(I stock up). Whats the go with the oil drain? The standard one wont bolt onto the new turbo? They average about $8 - $30 over on eBay. I can always pick up some parts 2nd hand.

Exactly... If you have guesstimated it will be $2500 it's going to cost you $5000

I know you won't believe me, but trust me it will :(

what housing is it? none of the garrett ones clear.

cant remember what the standard actuator bracket is like but im pretty sure you cant use it

standard oil drain wont bolt up, bolt spacing is different. you need to buy a pipe/flange to suit and make up the rest of the drain out of whatever you can (stock block fitting with new high temp hose would be best).

Your stats say you have an R33 - would think you'll need more than $700 budgeted here, given you'll need to either get an R32 or Z32 ECU, have nistune chip fitted to that, and then the cost of tuning it ..

I'm getting a little scared now :( I'm hoping I can save money on the installation side...

I was told its an AVO housing to suit RB20/25 motors. I should be able to get the necessary parts. Its quite lucky that I posted here, I kind of had my arse uncovered abit...

Shit are you serious? Damnit f**k, I thought it was going to be compatible. Then Ill use a PFC or get a quote for an r32 ecu with the necessary mods to make it work on the r33 + tune. Shit, its gonna add up..

If someone buys my RB25det gearbox it would put $1000 in my pocket :) Or I am willing to trade the box for parts I can use.

450cc S15 injectors, with remap + piggyback, gt3076r internal wastegate .73 AR ($2250 from Adelaide turbo services), auto makes comfortable 250awkw

550cc injectors would be fine for your 270rwkw mark, 290+ would be the happypants zone

Definitely under budgeting and poor part selection.

To start with, do not buy top feed injectors with intention to do an AM rail. This only works when using a Greddy style forward facing plenum. The stock plenum will foul top feed injectors. You will need side feeds OR to highflow your stock items as 10WRB has said.

Contact CEF11E on this forum regarding highflowing your injectors, he knows his work.

As for how to do the job and how to budget for it.. I would do it like this:

A GCG 3076 or 3071 kit for $2950. The turbo on its own is normally about $1700 new, the other $1200 is towards all your fittings such as lines and spacers, new studs etc. The kit also comes with a dump pipe that meets with the stock position front pipe. This kit comes with the CORRECT GARRET .82 turbine housing. The kit you are describing with a turbo for $1100 would have no rear housing, and an AVO housing is roughly $700. The AVO housing will have difficulty holding the right amount of boost and will struggle to make the power this turbo is capable of (as stated 250rwkw instead of the 300 its capable of). The GCG kit comes with THE RIGHT GEAR and is reasonably priced.

http://gcg.com.au/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=538&category_id=56&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=53

From here you will need the following:

Intake pipe custom made $200 (reasonable expected cost)

Front pipe (if you dont have one already - one piece front and dump will need to be replaced if you have this) $300

Highflow cat (if you dont have already) $400

Intercooler pipes will meet up as the GCG kit comes with the silicon bend

The turbo will now be on the car and running. Now you will need:

Injectors $150-300 to highflow, $400-1200 to purchase sidefeeds (700+cc recommended)

ECU I would go a toshi remap $700ish to be safe - http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/210097-power-fc-and-remap-ecu-road-tune-and-dyno-tune-available-in-sydneysending-to-other-state-and-over-seas-also-abailable-now/

Z32 AFM $300 if you shop around BNEW and then a R31 or VL AFM plug from pick and dont pay less (aka pick and pocket)

So theres your round $5000 or more. By the time you get a few extra niggly bits here and there too, its well and truly over that amount.

Another thing to note, if you opt to purchase the turbo elsewhere (not liking the $2950 price tag from GCG) prepare for the costs to add up very quickly when trying to source all the bits. You can get the lines and silicon bend sorted for around $300 on ebay, however the dump pipe will cost atleast $500 to $1000 depending on who you have make it for you and at what quality. The GCG kit is a reasonable price, do not overlook it.

If you really are tight on money, consider this option:

Hypergear hiflow (can get one made to do 270rwkw) $900-1200

Hiflow injectors $300

Toshi remap $700

Z32 AFM $300

One piece front and dump $179 from justjap (if you dont have one already)

Cat $200 (3" ceramic catco from justjap)

Theres $3000 tops and you will get your 270rwkw. It will not be the SAME 270rwkw, it will have different delivery and the debate about which is better still rages, however it will certainly equate to a decent and FAST car.

I am pretty sure this is the 4th time I have written such a post.. Maybe a guide is in order for the turbo FAQ section (mods let me know if you want this done - im happy to write something up with links and results).

I have a 3076 internally gated smallest rear housing that was supposed to bolt directly up (btw it didn't haha) and all the parts (no labour) for that was just under 3k and I already had an microtech ECU, nismo 740cc injectors, nippon denso fuel pump but i also have a greddy plenum and 90mm TB on a R33 S1 RB25DET.

I only managed to have the car for about 2 days before it blew up again (builder didn't check the clearance on the pistons for the oil squirters lucky I didn't give it all the time I had it :teehee:), but from memory i had ~245rwkw @ 12-13psi (guess at most...it's been awhile) on a safe run in tune and I was aiming for 270rwkw all day everyday.

The turbo I had before was a high flow stock turbo (227rwkw @ 18psi...had the car running for longer then so I can remember >_<) and "felt" virtually the same if not a little later on the 3076.

    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
    • I forgot about my shiny new plates!
    • Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
    • Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.
