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

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.

      There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
