I have a rb30 with a series 1 rb25det head vct. Have welded head and have done the internal vct feed. Blocked front oil restrictor and 1.5 restrictor in rear. I have a couple of questions. First of I'll be using the motor for torque more than power as it's in a 4wd. Will not be reved over 6 grand. What I need to no is what would be the best setup for this. I need turbo manifold, wiring loom and computer. What would people suggest for this setup. I have searched but as this is for a 4wd and not a drag car it is different

i'd suggest running both oil feeds if your using an internal feed for vct, especially if your not revving it much. in standard form the vct has its own 1.5mm feed and the 25 head has 2 x 1.5mm feeds, so a single 1.5mm for all 3 wouldnt be ideal.

a standard 25 or 30 oil pump will be fine for a mild 4wd setup.

a small highflow turbo would probably be perfect for 4wding, even a standard turbo if your not after any more than 180rwkw.

use a 25det loom and an ecu to suit a 25det

Except for turbo selection; As above. A STD turbo or even a hi-flow will run out of puff before 5k and would drastically restrict exhaust flow. Look at a turbo in the 450-550hp range. I use a gt3076r and is perfect for response, wide power range and heaps of torque. STD manifold will do the job, to keep costs down. Rb25 loom and any plug-in rb25 ecu. That should see you make over 250rwkw.

    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
