Rb25De 5 Speed Into R34 Gtt

So as some of you may be aware, my r34 gtt was stolen i've now got it back an am contemplating buying an N/A r34 donor car to replace all of the interior etc.

My r34 is currently auto w/shift kit running 195rwkw.

The idea sprung to mind that the donor car is a 5 speed manual so i'd have all the bits to do the manual conversion as i rebuild my car.

my questions are:

will the n/a box break in 5 metres with that power?

How much power can they handle?

will everything bolt up?

are things like speedo sensors, tailshafts etc interchangeable?

What parts can I use/need to swap from what car?

is this a stupid idea? :P

Cheers

Steve

The only thing I can contribute is that my rb25de box is holding 280rwkw+ just fine... however my car is a GTS4 and I believe there are differences between a normal rb25de box and a gts4 box...

well thats a promising start anyway :) haha

The RB25DE box is essentially the same as the RB20DET. In fact, it is a direct swap (with different ratios that are actually better than the original RB20DET box's) into an R32 GTSt. RB20 boxes are pretty strong, but they really don't like being fed that much torque and will fail much earlier behind an RB25. So I would suggest not using the RB25DE box behind a turbo if you want it to have a long and happy life. You could do it and treat it moderately sensibly while you saved up to get a turbo box, which are <$1500 these days anyway.

The 4WD NA manual box is much different to the RWD RB25DE, so not a good comparison. Even in an R32 GTS4, the manual is about as strong as a GTR box straight up.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By Duncan · Posted

      Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required

      Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.
