Just like to know what turbos you people have in your skylines? What do you think is the best low-mount turbo for a rb25det. I have been told the best for a street application would be the HKS GT2535. What are your oppinions? Does this turbo bolt straight on, if not what do i have to do to get it in? Looking forward to your reply's. Thanks!!!

hrmm, i think either one is sufficient for the amount of power you want to make... i would consult a turbo specialist on what the best turbo set up for your price range is.

i am just talking from experience with my friends Hiflowed T3, that worked a treat.

Hopefully someone with a 2535 will comment on that turbo and its advantages! =)

I have an HKS 2535. Just got it put on. Had fuelling problems when i went to the dyno so couldn't wind past 7psi but was getting 180rwkw at that boost level. Have just received my adjustable fuel pressure regulator and expecting a Z32 AFM and will post results when i get them. I have wound the boost up to 1.1 bar and it hits that by 3,300 rpm and pulls very nicely indeed. I hit boost cut at 1.15 bar at about 4,000rpm the other day which is my airflow meter maxing out at 5v which on an R33 happens about 220rwkw so this turbo should easily see you to your desired power level.

As for installation, it bolts straight on to your exhaust manifold, dump pipe, AFM pipe and with the supplied elbow, to your intercooler pipe too. I got the GT Sports Turbine Kit which came with braided hose for the oil line and new replacement piping for the water lines. Hope that helps.

oh, you wanted mods too...

When I finally get my power run again I will have:

Trust FMIC, Z32 AFM, Bosch 910 fuel pump, Nismo adjustable FPR, full exhaust, Trust Ex Cam Gear, S-AFCII, Blitz EBC and rebuilt engine with forged pistons.

you should be fine, so long as your engine has sufficient compression and when your running 12psi it isnt leaning out/detonating etc...

invest in a dyno tune from somewhere that is renouned for tuning properly.

Reliability is the key!

Nothing sh1ts me more than when someone tells me they have 200+ rwkw and have their standard injectors maxed out etc etc. Thats just not cricket.

Exactly!!! I will have a power FC so as far as that goes it can be tuned accordingly. I hate when i go to shops (no names) and the guys there tell me that i can get easily 270 rwkw from my standard engine without problems. I think that is total crap! Can do it but it will probably last about 2 months or so, then the problems will arise. Anyone here have that kind of power with standard internals? Just like to hear about it?

i am attempting to put on a t3/t4-super t 70 on mine all i can say it is ***ing huge 1700 it cost brand newcop a look at the specs.....shaft and wheel trim64.5 mm -compressor wheel super70 60.5mm -turbine housinga/r84.-compressor housinga/rratio.70... supposed to be capable of 650 hp can any one who knows what they are doing tell me the go and what mods/ lag ect i will expect

Your engine will last with 270rwkw on standard internals, I know of several cars that have lasted over 6mths each after being very heavily murdered with much more than 270rwkw. It all depends on your tune :rant:

It depends on the tune and how u drive. If u drive like a tool all the time at full throttle then ur engine wont live long.

Mine has lived with over 300rwkw high boost and 260rwkw low boost for about 2 months now without any problems.

Fuel seems to be the problem IMHO. Alot of people try and stretch the stock injectors to places they just werent meant to go. All that I know of who upgrade the injectors and dont chase every last kw, have had no dramas.

Personally I wouldnt really want to chance it (well I didnt chance it). If you upgrade the injectors as you fit a bigger turbo you will be safe - with a good tune. Cheaper than a rebuild - infact cheaper than a set of forgies:)

I have over 300 in a daily driven RB25, running over 20psi no problems - stock internals. the JMS R33 had over 300rwkw with stock bottom end too, and that gets caned - still going strong.

I want to do everything properly, no short cuts. What would be the best size injectors for this application? Where do you suggest to get the car tuned at? I heard that Croydon Racing is the best but they charge an arm and a leg! I think it was like $700! Any other good places?

    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
