I blew my auto gearbox in my r33 well lost 3rd/4th changing to manual friggen r33 gearboxs are expensive even with k's on them and in need of a rebuild and synchros have got a few options just want to find out a bit about strength of the boxs

can get a gts4 rb20det r32 box for $250 I know it's 4wd and didnt really want to stuff around but its cheap so wondering is the internals the same as the rb20det r32 box/rb25de(r33) or is it beefed up more like the gtr box? otherwise how do the r33(rb25de)/r32(rb20det) boxs cope compared to the r32(rb25det) boxs trying to keep things cheap as $1400 for a r33 box that really needs a rebuild is a bit over-rated

if the gts4 box is stronger than a r32(rb20det gtst) then I'll grab that otherwise I guess I'll have to keep looking

yeah I got the GTS4 box as its the same as the gtr box just different 2nd and 3rd gears same strength though, cut and rewelded the tunnel fabed up a couple of new mounting points got a r33 gtr active diff and tailshaft and pumps etc and made a controller for the pumpI'll finish it up on the weekend when i get some time I'll set up the front drives in a month or 2 once I've got a subframe and the time to align it etc already have a front sump and front shafts sorted so just a couple of extra bits and pieces I'll keep an eye out for....

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
