R33 Gtst (rb25det) S1 Engine Swap To R33 Gts (rb25de)


Recommended Posts

Hey guys, hope your all doing well :)

I need some help with my current series 1 R33 GTST, factory manual.

Personal Background information:

- Currently no license, reacquire on the 6th of december 2015.

- Will be on P-plates for a year.

- I know most likely that money wise this isn't the smartest play.

- Current engine in the car has idling issues and the turbo isn't spooling and boosting properly.

Car history:

- R33 GTST

- R34 GTT

Objective:

To make my R33 GTST (RB25DET) into an N/A R33 GTS (RB25DE).

Problems:

- Not sure if its a straight swap. (from RB25DET to RB25DE).

- Not sure if i need to change loom.

- Not sure if i need to change the ECU.

Before you tell me its not economically a smart idea:

It's more of a hobby and something I can do to pass time and have fun ( R.I.P to my knuckles, free time, sleep, learning new great swear words.)

Things I need help with:

Anyone who has the experience or the know-how please tell me what I need to complete my project.

Things I think i need:

- RB25DE.

R33 current specs:

- Heavy duty clutch.

- SAFC.

- Everything else is from a stock R33 GTST.

Please help below - and thank you in advance. :)

    • Updating results.  Using ATR45SS-0 model VS UHF57-900. Those two are very different turbos, different wheels sets with different wheel hub profiles but yet with almost identical result. I’m intrigued with both turbos performance. ATR45SS-0 was a 61mm turbo first developed in May 2020, UHF57-900 was a 62mm turbo developed in March 2024 as a powered up alternative of a G30-900. On paper ATR45SS-0 maxed at 563rwkws, while UHF57-900 maxed at 568rwkws. ATR45SS was slightly more responsive with slightly better power band through the mid range.  Road driving ability, ATR45SS-0 had better throttle response, felt more robust under throttle, as it wakes up earlier. I think G series wheel hub design made it to have higher inertia under light throttle. Doing bit more prototype work in the next few weeks, will update result when its back on dyno again. ATR45SS0 Blue, UHF57-900 Red Chequered tuner's Dynapack hub dyno, E85 fuel. Mod list is in video below video_20240604_114214.mp4    
    • Did you run the power cables for the mac valve to the other side of the car near the fusebox? Utilizing the stock boost controller cables? or did you run new ones?
    • Hey I have a potentially stupid HICAS question 🤣 I'm currently doing a full hicas delete, Power steering pump modified to non hicas, all lines removed from the car along with all electronics. My stupid question is - Do I need a lock out bar? is there any reason why I cant just remove everything from the rear end? I already have a lock out bar but thinking to save a few extra grams I could also get rid of the arms and tie rods as well and just run it with nothing in its place? or would it have a negative effect on handling?
