Hey, I originally had this setup in my R31 but decided it was time to upgrade and get something with better handling, so stripped the r31 and scrapped it.. Got offered my mates S1 gunmetal grey 33 for a price I couldn't refuse so I pick that up in 3 weeks...

Currently it just has intercooler, Hiflow turbo, 3" exhaust, microtech ect and puts out 180rwkw... But I want more....

So against all the haters on here about SOHC, I'm putting my setup into it cause it's already done, and itll be abit different...

So this stuff is what's going into it:

Engine Type: rb30et

Exhaust: gt3582r, 38mm wastegate, himount steampipe heatwrapped and ceramic coated manifold.

Intake: JPC plenum, 880cc injectors, XF throttle body.

Head: ported, wade 1147c camshaft, machined lifter blocks, crow double valve springs.

Block: ACL Race main and rod bearings, hypatec pistons, moly rings, ARP head studs and rod bolts.

Gearbox: r33 5 speed, 4puk brass button clutch with solid centre.

Interior: standard apart from water temp, oil pressure, and boost gauges, haltech duel stage shiftlight, switches for line lockers, ecu and ign power, and isolation switch.

Other Mods: 2L surge tank, twin Bosch 044 pumps, rising rate reg, remote oil filter and cooler, power steering cooler.

Setup is good enough for 350rwkw on 20psi.

It's just a streeter and drifter for now until I can get cage installed, then I'm going to do some hill climbs aswell..

I'll post up pics once I start getting some progress and pick up the car..

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By MBS206 · Posted

      It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!

      The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.

      What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.

      Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
