Rod bolts are getting sorted by Stevo, so will be a good set no doubt

Going to keep the same turbo for the time being Lith, I know a precision or a new EFR would be a better turbo but I'm quite happy with the power that the turbo is making, will probably get 450 with the new custom grind cams, head work and bumping up the compression.

Going to keep the same standard block Eric, has been through a ton of heat cycles and has handled 420rwkw on the previous set up. Obviously we will make a fair bit more torque now though it should hold together fine. The parts are all top quality, the engine builder is one of the best in the business and so is the guy tuning it :)

Chris Ordered pistons today mate, also hit Yavuz up and he's put the order in for the cams

Waiting for a reply from Marcus about the alternation, and should probably organise the diff soon as well

Can't wait to get this on the road Mico, soon mate

  • 1 year later...

I meant more with reference to the increased cubic capacity of the engine - ie. bigger engine, with the FMW and larger turbine A/R would the spool and general response be as good/better with the prospect of those extra hp at higher rpm if the turbine housing doesn't choke things?

The FMW seems to offer hp benefits but it's a juggling act to maintain response characteristics.

Otherwise, the bigger cubes engine and maintaining turbo spec will surely make for an easy driving package that just floods you with boost at lower rpm and throttle angles than with the 26 engine.

Following with interest.

Forgive the ignorance .. what is FMW lol

    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks  
    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
