hey guys i only just joined sau and im also a turbo virgin! only ever owned v8's, i have just bought a r33 gtst that im turning into a track car. i after some advise and helpful hints to doing a power upgrade. the mods that is on it atm, is exhaust and pod filter only to my knowledge. im told with doing fmic, injectors, afm, ecu, turbo and ebc, i could get a comfortable 300rwkw which is what i want! i would like to keep standard exhaust manifold if i can and just bolt a newer bigger turbo on that. i am also looking at a power fc d-jetro, is this a good ecu to choose? also what is good bang for buck? can i plz get some advice on what to do and buy to make this power?

Turbo selection for track work can be hit and miss, you will need a larger rear housing to reduce exhaust temps at the very least.

Are you considering e85? That will also change your turbo selection for 300kw.

Look guys I really no f**k all about this hence the reason of getting advise from you guys! I bought the power fc d- jetro ecu today. The guy I bought that off said get a rb25det neo turbo and hiflow it! Reckons that will give me the power I'm chasing no worries!post-135918-14076767476698_thumb.jpg

If its a track car then the rules change, it will spend a lot of its time in the top end, this is where a GT35 sized turbo and some 1000cc topfeeds come in along with the usual support mods, later when the motor blows, consider slapping a RB30 in there and you'll be able to re use these parts to push 400kws.

You could use a 0.63 rear for the RB25 and a 0.82 for the RB30, win win..

ok guys you are worrying me! will the ecu i bought work for me and i have bought everything now accept injectors... i keep getting told 2 many different things off to many different people... so i have been told to run 2200cc injectors which you can buy brand new bosch ones on ebay with loom for around the $750 mark! so my next question what diameter are the the gtr rails where the injector sits in 11mm? and will a gtr rail fit on my rb25det engine with the standard type inlet

manifold?

You do not want 2200cc injectors. They are massive. Any Bosch EV14 based 1000cc injector will be fine though. I would choose an EV14 injector over any old tech injector ANY day of the week. Except for one problem. Old RB25s have side feed injectors and if you want to run decent new injectors you wil have to convert to top feed, which is an exercise. Contact Scotty (he's even posted in this thread!!!!!) for what injectors and gear to convert will cost you.

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
