At the time I was happy to buy a clean mostly std 96 without ABS , just more crud you can't legally remove and expensive boxes that can fail . Couldn't escape the drivers handbags though .

If I had to rebuild a 25 short I'd use Neo style rods pistons and lid .

Nope, though I personally wouldn't go for the HTA2868 twins that are available - I doubt the combination would match up overly well to an RB... especially when squeezed into those little housings. Owen Developments sell them though, and someone installed a pair on his GTR but then had an engine failure which set him back something fierce so not sure if or when that will be back together. It seems folly to me to try and push past the "-5s" flow at this stage in those housings, I guess the closest to a setup like that which I would like to see would be more like upgrading low mount T517Zs to use the 68HTA wheels, probably less likely to surge and generally be a better match.

Fair point. I had a feeling that little rear housing would/is the bottle neck. -5's it is then!

What would be nice would be an HTA equivalent of -9s IMHO, something that flowed a bit more than -5s but spooled better than any low mount bolton option currently available. Wonder if the would bite :-D

I actually thought something along those lines after i posted it. Same peak figure flow of a -5, just come on even earlier. I would be so down for that!!!!!

Never satisfied :P

Don't even know if they make something like that.

Nothing really has happened for the low mount GTR setup for years.

Unless you have a 35gtr :ph34r: they have been making some crazy numbers lately with the HTAs

Because going to a bigger single is winning - and it seems people are more keen on winning these days :D Twin scroll HTA3586 would go nicely! ;)

I have no doubt that a well matched single would yield a better result... Just can't give up the "standard look" :/

^ just black everything like Mat, for ninja stealth look lol

Lol i think Paul killed mine in terms of the stock look..... But mine is :ph34r: spec..... I was originally going to do the front housing of the turbo BUT it looks too good and i am kidding myself if i think i can hide it :laugh:

Yours looks more stock than most RB25DET engine bays, defect free I guess?

then again it depends on the copper :)

I've been pulled over in my shitbox and popped the hood. I told the copper it's stock and he was like yeah it looks pretty stock to me, close bonnet.. happy days.

Maybe the stock airbox saved me from a defect, hopefully be getting turbo/manifold by Q3 after my tax returns hehe

A low mounted 6boost I think could almost get away with it, I just need a heatshield made up and it will come as close as it gets I think.

If you are fouling the front housing on the 3037 then the HTA version wouldn't have much chance as it has a bigger front cover again, i should have got a side by side pic but i didn't think of it at the time!

I even asked you to :P On that note, DYNO PLOTS???!!! :P

I think it could be done, engine mount moved/modded but its a PITA

You have done an epic job! Hurry up and get results ;)

Did you? Oops...

I sent an email and Adam will do it when he gets a chance :) You waited this long, so wait some more hehehe

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
