I have a Nissan GQ rb25/30 it's been rebuilt only with cast pistons and standard rods. I am chasing a new turbo so I can get some power from this motor. Also what injectors should I look at? The ones on there heaps of the plastic tips on the end of the injector have snapped off.

Have a read of the RB30 turbo results thread and see what people make with the different turbos.

If you already have an RB25 turbo you could consider getting it rebuilt by Hypergear, or you could get a GT3076 or read the Precision thread.

I just thought because its a 4wd it will be a whole different ball game. I have a stock turbo but I've heard the ceramic wheels are break past 14psi. The motors been fully rebuilt and I'm aiming for reliability as well as power. I plan on keeping the car

If Hypergear rebuild the stock turbo I presume (you can check) that they will use all steel wheels. If you want a brand new turbo the GT3076 would suit for 250 - 300kw.

There are a few sidemount injectors you could get -about 500-600 should do you. I have Deatschwerks 550 on mine.

Well don't have exact specs in hand, but heads been fully rebuilt so has motor just with stock rods and cast pistons. Would love around 250rwkw, is this realistic in a 2ton car without stressing things to much? Thanks

i think 250kw@the wheels will prob not go for too long with cast pistons and standard rods, but you can get a reliable 200-220kw out of it, i have a vipec ecu for sale 1000 bucks they are fantastic. and a t3/t4 600 dollar ebay turbo which ive personally used on my own cars and customers cars and on my 25 and 16psi made 234rwkw. so you dont have to spend lots of cash to get the result you need,

Okay we will go with 200rwkw. With that ecu mate will it have the tuning capabilities to pass an emissions test? The car was last registered as a RD28TD. The RB30 bolts straight up, gearbox and engine mounts. But ive been told it will need to pass an emissions test, because the motor is older than the car. Plus the engine will need to be engineered.

Cheers

Ive had a look around and im starting to get nervous to whether i can engineer this. Im thinking i should keep standard turbo and standard injectors for now and go aftermarket ecu so i pass emissions test?

ALSO I KEEP SEEING $3000 FOR AN EMISSION TEST?!

The vipecs are a great unit from what I've read I'm running a link G4 which is basically the same thing and my car runs better than it ever did with a nistune ecu. A fresh 30/25 should piss 250kw in safely! Just depends on the tune! I'm smashing 25psi boost down my stock 25's neck and making 336kw at the wheels and have done safely for the last near 2 years now. If you are only chasing 250kw just go for a hypergear or gcg highflow turbo as they are cheap,reliable and proven performers. Personally I don't think the kind of Ecu u run is Gunna affect emmissions it all boils down to your exhaust and tune Steer clear of ebay junk turbos as they are generally laggy and unreliable for the extra $$$ use a tried true performer that ain't Gunna risk ya freshly built motor. Just my 2c anyway

Another post but I've tried searching.

I've looked up automotive engineers in vic and found lots of people but I don't know if they are actually engineers.

Can anyone give me some numbers?

I've searched around and I Dnt think I will be able to engineer the car.

In NZ there is a website with authorised certifiers. You could try working backwards by asking the relevant authority (transport department - whatever it is called over your way [VicRoads evidently] and ask if they have a list of people authorised to "engineer" mods.

This may be what you need - if you look on this page there is a pdf listing VASS signatories - give your nearest one a ring and tell him what you want and he should be able to tell you if he is the person you should be referring to:

Hello. Here's an update. Rang the closet place. He said the conversion is easy to engineer. But the car will need to pass emmisions, that's the biggest problem. He said vipac do it and it's about $1000.

I've looked on the net and everywhere it says u can't engineer a rb30/25? This is so confusing! The car is a 1995. The rb30s where in patrols up until 1997. And the 25head is around 91-93. What is your input on this people? I've hit a brick wall

      This is the GTR fuel pump. Yellow shows 12V, orange shows earth. The ECU provides the earth to activate the fuel pump relay. The ECU side of teh relay will pull low when the ECU activates. This is the RB20 fuel pump. Almost the same, but a little simpler. You can see I indicated (above) where the 12V line goes down to the RB20 diagram on the overall diagram, whch shows both RB26 and RB20. This is where I show it coming in on the RB20 diagram below. You can see that the dropping resistor is handled differently. When the fuel pump control is not providing earth to the pump, the pump earths through the dropping resistor and thus runs at lower voltage (some is wasted over the resistor) and runs slower. I showed that "not 12V and not quite earth" portion of the wiring in a paler orange. The rest of the wiring that I did not colour on that little section below the pump would be orange when the fuel pump coontroller is providing earth. This drop is handled inside the fuel pump controller in the GTR. Regardless, you can see where 12V is supposed to be, where earth is supposed to be. The key on prime is via the ECU providing the pump for only a few seconds the switching off. You should be able to see that happen.

      Yeah so when you turn key to IGN the fuel pump should run for a few seconds. If you find the fuel pump relay (and have a multimeter, and a second person) to can check the relay inputs.  One trigger pin should be either fully earthed  The other trigger pin should get 12v from the ECU for say 3 seconds when you turn key to IGN, and at all times that key is at START (note, I said this from memory, it may be the other way around, ie one pin always has IGN 12v and the earth has continuity to earth when you turn the key) One Pin should have a good battery voltage The last pin goes to the fuel pump + Also note that if the power to the relay is good, and the relay is working, it is worth checking the pump has a good earth too. There is a computer in the standard system that increases the earth resistance to slow down the pump when not required, pretty old school and it may have failed

      All this talk about fuel and fancy ECUs, meanwhile my poor old R32 has neither.... When the ignition is turned on, should there be power running o the fuel pump constantly or just for the few seconds it usually takes to prime the pump? About to go have another look at it, have watched some YouTube vids on how to use a  multimeter and looked at some wiring diagrams but really have NFI what I'm looking for because electricity is invisible

      Yuh....but weren't all the supertourers, except maybe the Audis, FWD? I don't recall any of the others being AWD.
