Hi Guys,

Selling an upgrade turbo charger for any RB25. Basically we've taken a R34GTT stock nissan housings (which are larger than R33 GTST) and put a Garrett TA34 core in it. The Garrett centre is a dual ball bearing core turbo with steel wheels. The housings have been machined to suit the wheels. The turbo has been tested on a car and is working 100%. This turbo has done about 50km on an RB20, but was just a little bit lazy to come on boost at about 4,000rpm and wasn't what we wanted on this car. But an RB25 would be perfectly suited to this turbo.

The work was performed by Rotomaster, Somerton VIC. I will post the turbo interstate - please ask for a shipping quote.

PRO's

The turbo will bolt to your stock manifold.

Retains Nissan 5 bolt dump pipe.

Your standard wastegate actuator will fit.

Turbo still looks stock

Turbo has warranty, ending in Aug 2012.

CON's

You have to make custom oil and water lines.

Pickup from Bayswater, VIC

Price is $1760.00 - which is trade price. This is what we paid for it.

how many KW did it make on the rb20?

It was never fully tuned on the RB20, as the injectors were also maxing out. We could only set the boost at 12PSI max before injectors were an issue, so it was made safe then road tested and wasn't what we were after.

im after a turbo for my NEO 25, I spose this would be quite lagy as not a good match?

Though how much of a hassle cost wise are cuton oil and water lines?

Actually I would expect it to be a pretty good match for a Neo RB25 as it's roughly 20% bigger wheels than OEM using the OEM housings. Also it all bolts directly back on. Plus the added benefit of steel wheels = no more 12PSI limit, not to mention ball bearing vs plain bearing.

I think I did lines for around $270 using speedflow fittings, teflon braided -4 oil line and pushlock water hose. That's 4x lines and 2x fittings into the block.

So would this be expected to push similar figures to what a standard r34 hi flow would? 250-270rwkw

Yep - that would be the figure I would expect too. 280rwkw seems to be all most of the return flow intercoolers will push anyway, so there is no point getting a bigger turbo than this, as you will still end up with 270ish.

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
