Welcome.

Assuming you have R33 turbo boxes it seems strange you are blowing them chasing 'only' 330RWKW. I say 'only' as that is still a lot of power for a street car, just no where near the limit of those boxes.

Woops sorry, I assumed you had manual. Like Luke said swap to manual, cheaper than a built auto and more fun for a street car. Also manual is a plus if you decide to sell it in the future.

Lol, I have 2 of them one the exact same with minimal mods running manual, would be happy to make my modded one less streetable as it's not my daily and i'm sus on the 2nd gear set in the manual boxes from experience.

How strong are the manual box (clutch choice also dependant of course) and what sort of power figures have people been able to put through them?

swap to manual.

or th400, or power glide.

Cheers, will do some more researching. Preference is always manual but it's still just as fun regardless what transmission is in it.

Just want some reliability without an 8k price tag.

Can pickup complete manual conversion for $1500 with good box tomorrow... But does that mean i'm going to be doing a clutch everytime I give it a bit of what for?

Here is a quote from the CT forum. There are a bunch of guys on their using the 33 boxes for drag racing.

"i have a wrecker spec box with a short shifter i only put oil in it because it was empty in the frame of mine its cheap lets break it then think about something different it did 4 years on the road running in the 11s @ 130ish mph at the track then another 2 years of drag only running 10s @ high 130mph with full slicks and 6800rpm two step launch and still all good. It has been through 2 blown clutches, 1 smashed centre bearing, 3 broken uni's, 1 pretzal tailshaft, 2 folded lower control arms and then 2 broken axles. I pulled it down thinking i should look at the damage NONE wasnt even fillings in the oil THEY ARE TUFF "

Look at getting a Jim Berry clutch if you are worried about it failing. Twin plate should be under $1500. He will talk you through it and let you know the best clutch for your application.

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
