Hey guys

What do you think of these? Has anyone tried one?

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/480-TURBO-CHARGER-SKYLINE-RB25DET-SUPRA-1JZ-2JZ-7MGTE-/200471368348?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2ead06529c

Can someone suggest a good value replacement turbo for an RB25DET?

Thanks

Thanks for the reply guys. Im looking into the Kando turbos

Read the whole thread... You need external gate etc... Don't try skimp and buy a crap turbo or you'll end up spending double the money trying to get it to work, at least there is proof the Kandos are working reliably....

That one is a POS mate, dont go near it.

As discussed, external gate = kando, internal gate = hypergear (if you are price conscious)

you could waste your time with this turbo, set it up as best as humanly possible etc, but i would put my money on it a simple stock turbo highflowed and tuned with a TBE and FMIC (not even injectors or Z32) would beat the pants off it.

Hypergear is probably the best way to go, he can also bundle an ecu with the turbo which is map sensor based, so you wont need an AFM when you go for your retune. Cant argue with that!

i bought a ebay cheapo about a year ago.. $400 .. took out the old one and replaced with the new one my self. it was a direct bolt on. internal gated. Unfortunately this turbo had a bare minimim of 10psi actuator.. BUT luckily had the mines ecu.. had to get a 3inch inlet for the turbo intake $100 bux, and has been running mint ever since,,.. also makes a sweet wine sound when bulding up from 2000 and 3000 rpm.. i run 17psi for runs with electronic boost controller.. ..

just make sure you do the absolutel necessaries eg.. fill the turbo with oil before you stick it in, change to fresh oil, new and flush water coolent, dont boot it when first installed - let it run in for a thousand k's.. i could NOT BE ANY HAPPIER!! the joy of keeping up to a 260rwk xr6turbo with a cheap turbo.. absolutely amazing

how many k's you done on this since installing this turbo and running it @ 17psi on a mines ecu?

also is this Mines ECU setup to work with bigger injectors and a Z32 afm? or is it all on stock RB25 bits?

that is your motor in the very near future.


The amount of people i know directly or indirectly that have ended an RB25 with a mines ecu now is very close to double figures. N that is on a stock turbo!!!! Edited by jjman

ive done about 20K on it since install.. it is supposedly meant to run with bigger injectors without further tune (not that mines ecu can be tuned) .. not sure about the z32 (still running a stock afm) . just have the little bolt ons, eg, big return mount ic , bosch fuel pump, series 6 sparkies, pod, 3 inch exhaust..

I've ran a ebay turbo for 4 years now.. no dramas at all. t04e knock off running 14psi all day everyday.

Times are changing.

times are changing indeed!! why bother getting a power fc, piggy back etccc etcccc,, when you can buy a 150 dollar mines ecu running nearly 18pounds with a few very light mods... approx 220-230 at the rears,, now thats all i want and need im a happy camper!

but yeah obioviously if you want more power,,, next stage is spending big bux on a ecu, then a turbo, then supporting mods, which will cost you another 2k or so ( to get another 50-100 kw rise ) ..

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
