This would be THE most asked question on this forum.

Even on the same page as this thread is:

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/348743-3076r-for-270rwkw/page__st__20

Otherwise please do a search, people on this forum and very helpful but you need to do some of the work yourself.

Also, look through the RB25 dyno results thread.

I'm feeling nice today. Instead of telling you that you are a dickhead for asking the most asked question on this forum, and the particular forum having 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 post and threads about turbo choices, I'll link you to a post that I have made recently to help someone.

THis should give you enough information.

If you don't like the size of the turbo, check the thread at the top of the forced induction forum with all kinds of turbos and results.

Wouldn't de-turboing a GTST for P-Plates be the most asked?

i had a hks gt2535 on my last one, the previous owner tried multiple turbos on it he tried the 2530 and the 2540 but ended up sticking with the 2535.

i had power fc, hks front mount, full racepace exhaust from turbo back, big pump, fpr and it mate around 258 - 262rwkw on 14psi.

shed blew a few flames out the back aswell hehe. for the street i thought it was perfect as i even passed an epa with the turbo on it, just had to rub out the hks on the actuator and change the exhaust, that was running a standard air filter with an aftermarket panel filter.

as they said, depends what your after and what state your in.

High flow your stock turbo for about a thousand bucks, then get it retuned. 250rwkw from your current 190ish.

You will have it all done for about $2000. Anything else will cost you twice as much at a minimum.

Spending say $4000 will net you 270-330rwkw, any more will require more money (your injectors are maxed at this point). This would be with a 3071/3076/3582 garrett.

They dont have any bolt on turbo kits for the RB25. There are plenty of turbos you can buy for $1200 in Australia that will bolt on. Talk to hypergear, they will get you 270rwkw from a hiflow turbo. I have a hiflow turbo with a larger rear housing and make 279rwkw with exhaust, injectors and Z32 afm.

Hypergear highflow.

Send him your turbo and tell him you want atleast 270rwkw.

Take your car to a tuner and get it retuned.

This is almost your only option.

+ injectors, exhaust, Z32 afm and a 3" metal intake :)

yeah thats seams pretty good any idea on how much it might cost? would it be better to get a new turbo hi flowed off them?

What do you mean by new turbo? They wont have stock of standard turbos so you will need to find one and send it to them if you dont want to have your car off the road while they hiflow your turbo.

highflow + injectors + fuel pump + fmic + nistune is the cheapest bang for buck in my opinion.

probably look about $1000-2000 for the turbo depending on who does the highflow and whether it is ball bearing or not, and all the rest would be a few k all up once tuned. Don't forget a clutch when you fry yours and new tyres and susp to put it to the ground, all adds up pretty quickly.

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.

      Automatic Power Button Light Flashing

      Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).

      Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers

      Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
