RB25DET Modifications

Here are my plans:

- 3.5" Downpipe to a 3" Test Pipe and a 3" Blitz NUR Spec R Exhaust.

- Greddy Profec B Boost Controller

- HKS Turbo Timer

- Boost/EGT/(Air/Fuel) Gauges

- Twin Electric T-Fal Fans

- Skyline R33 GTs-T Radiator

- Apex S-AFC

- Blitz FMIC w/ custom piping

- Homemaid K&N-Filtered Cold-Air Induction

- 12 psi Boost

Take a look at those plans and lemme know what you guys think... suggestions are very welcome, especially ones that make things a tad cheaper!

Now a few questions:

1.) How much power does the stock GTs-T clutch hold?

2.) How much power do you think I will make out of this system?

3.) Think it will be reliable?

If you are going to go a 3.5" dump pipe you should go 3.5" the whole way, other wise the bigger dump won't make much difference.

The stock clutches aren't that crash hot. Mine really started to slip when it hit about the 180rwkw mark, when I was giving it a hard time.

Jeff.

Exhaust: ditch the name brand muffler and buy something local thats of straight through design.

Boost controller: a decent bleed setup will hold 12psi ok. Mine does.

Turbo timer: use yourself. ie hang around for a couple of minutes after a hard kane :cool:

Radiator fan: standard clutch fan won't fit in engine bay?

Can't comment on power output, what with the different dynos you guys use and everythng. Will be very quick in a s14 tho.

manual bleeds sux! EBC hold boost 100 times better than manual!

when i got my car on the dyno last week with the turbosmart bleed it from the printout it varys boost all through the rev range!

EBC all the way!

Well, I said decent bleed setup - turbosmart is not this. I'm using a Norgen pressure regulator setup in recirculating cycle, works fine. May not be perfect, but suits my needs. Remeber, Nismo_Freak is looking for ways to minimize costs and a bleed setup excels in the value for money stakes.

whats that pressure regulator off?

bleed valve is good for starter, but u cant beat a ebc for tuneability later on

    • The car remains in paint jail. I am now pretty convinced that the whole "RB25 Airboxes are kinda limiting to ~300kw" could be a thing. Also saw a good video from Engine Masters: (Sorry for FB link) (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=search&v=761771519471924&external_log_id=c10bcbb6-2c39-4ff3-9240-287e9921fde6&q=Cold Air Considerations) Where they tested Pod Filter sizes and kept adding bends to a LS3 on an Engine Dyno to find if bends caused power loss. It's a good video worth watching - They did lose ~25hp from making an intake which had 3x90's and a 120 degree. They only lost maybe 1hp with a basic 90. I feel that by sealing up my airbox I have: 1) Created the same restriction a stock airbox would have. 2) Created a very convoluted set of intake 'pipes' by forcing all the air through the ducts. So I am pretty confident I'll be going full circle and have a huge hot air intake pod and actually see a benefit. The air does *not* stay hot once it gets flowing, aided by the ducts, and the pod can then pull air from anywhere. All the posts of yore talk about the stock airbox costing 10-15kw at 300kw+ but you know what? I f**king would very much like that 10-15kw and I remember my own pod filter in engine bay experiences. Turns out the GTT Reo and Headlight brackets really don't allow you to mount GTR items, no matter what the internet says. Various brackets have had to be made up to actually make it fit right for the front bar. Also some idiot mounted a 3L Accusump right where the bumper wants to go, so that has had to be 'relocated' To where, I am still not sure, but it's supposedly mounted in the pictures and I can't see it.
    • Sounds like the oil pressure light is wired into the oil temp sensor... As it warms up, resistance on temp sensor reduces, hence more current can flow and the dash light gets brighter.
    • Got the front subframe and suspension in.    
    • If it's cold in summer, then no issue. If it's cutting out every few seconds and you're not reaching your target temp, then there's an issue. One could be the pressure switch and the other issue could be the temp probe inside the evaporator.
