Hey guys

My brother is thinking of putting a rb25 turbo into his rb20, after speaking to a very realible source today I'm told it'll bolt up fine just wondering if the oil and water lines match up, and if so does anyone have a rb25 turbo for sale :)

Cheers guys

oohhh... Excellent question my good man.

Perhaps pick a number between 150 and 200?

Seems to be in good nick, bought it as a spare just in case.

Got an RB20 turbo too if your bro just wants a spare so he can Blow his turbo up.

But only worth doing if the lines match up?!?!?!, he is aiming for 200ish maybe more but is also doing coilpacks and injectors etc etc might only run 170rwkw but reliable as, also does anyone know if there is much ecu work involved in running an rb25 turbo on an rb20

with a pod and a 3" zorst you get about 10 psi with no boost control mods.

and the computer goes full rich, i dont know how a std turbo feels cos it was on it when i bought it

And ive spent a bit on bits to support it (fuel pump, injectors etc) and yet to get a nistune. they will all go in at the same time when i have everything i need.

But i think its worth it cos ill only need a retune when i get a good turbo.

so.... how many thousands does he want to pour into it?

injectors, fuel pump, exhaust, pod and cold air box, boost control, gauges, better radiator, z32 afm, ecu upgrade and tune.

thats probly minimum to support more boost properly. im doing a major service at the same time so im getting even more bits for the upgrade.

after about 2 years, soon ill get there.. hopefully all done by febuary.

Thanks lads, ill pass all that onto my bro and see what he thinks from there :)

Tell Lachy that he needs to get off his ass and buy his 34 GTR already......and then give me his 32 so I can put all the things that Mik just said onto it and turn the mr2 into a dedicated track car lol

Drew - you should of kept your GTR mate.

Have you seen the brand new N1 fine engine in FS for $14k?

Richard, I've lost count of how many times I've had a look at that engine for sale ? I know I should have kept it, that's why I stare at yours so lovingly every time I see it lol

      1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)

      Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!

      Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.

      Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
