Ok, i want to upgrade my standard turbo on my 32 gts-t. I've been thinking a 2nd hand GT2530 (any other suggestions). I don't want to spend over 2k.

I have a fmic, 3" zorst, pod, bov. Fuel pump, SAFC and fuel regulator on the way. Anyone recommend anything else i might need for the turbo upgrade before i wind up the boost?

Do i need to do injectors?

ecu i would say, get rid of the stock fuel and boost cuts etc..

i think you can run upto 1.3bar (not 100% sure) on the 2530 and your afm may max out at this level of boost too (unsure). if thats the case and you go for an ecu then you could get a z32 afm to work around the 5v max out of the air flow meter. whats your clutch like? :)

Yeah good thinking, the afm will need to be changed, thus i may as well not waste my time with an SAFC and just bite the ECU bullet. Power FC or Wolf guys?

The clutch is being worked on. Killing the stock clutch first. I've made this car a 7 month plan, ready for Christmas holidays.

How much hp can the stock rb20det injectors handle safely?

well the 33 turbo makes 190rwkw at 14psi, and another person has just made 200rwkw with the 2530 at 17psi...i'd go for something larger than the 2530 the gains dont seem to be all that good. having had 190rwkw it gets boring rather quickly

If budget is strictly 2k, then i would be looking at getting your turbo high flowed. It will bolt straight back on, use al the same piping and lines, and only additional cost will be radiator of coolant, 4L of oil and two new gaskets....that it, not another dollar to spend.

Be wary of buying a 2nd hand 2530, as there are a few little parts that need changing which all add to the cost (water/oil lines, inlet pipes), plus its a 2nd hand turbo and could have dramas which with a strict 2k budget means you have a nice souvenir but nothing to bolt onto your engine

Wise advice Roy, but i think im just going to have to take the chance and trust the supplier of the turbo. How much does high-flowing the standard turbo cost?

If someone could enlighten me on the high-flowing process of the standard RB20DET Turbo, that would be great.

    • Will have a look at that. I cant see any leaks 
    • Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.
    • Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
    • Hi Everyone I am from West Pennant Hills in NSW. Been too busy until recently to attend to my RB25DET Series 2 engine until recently. I am planning to stick it into the S15 shell at this stage, unless a nice SR20DET turns up... For now, i am going to try and get the RB25 running and working well then decide what gearbox to use. My preference is to retain the SR20DET  6 speed gearbox and tail shaft to retain as much and least modifications as i can avoid. I am an old guy and won't be doing any heavy drifting so i don't need a bullet proof gearbox Does anyone have experience with starting the RB on a stand? I got everything setup as much as I can with the info i can find... endless searching and videos on Youtube I would be great to get some pointers Cheers Songo
    • Hey all, Recently have had my s1 r33 gtr serviced and noticed my coolant reservoir was topped up to the max line. Took the car out for 1 yesterday and noticed today the reservoir is completely empty.  Any ideas? Radiator is full
