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

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 馃槀 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
