So the question I want to ask is who here runs a GTS-R manifold on a RB25 ? What turbo do you run, supporting mods ?

I have a GTS-R manifold thinking about putting it on my R34 Neo RB25.

I know its a big investment for not so much gains ( could be spent elsewhere ) but I just love the sound.

Hey mate,

The simplest way would be to source the standard T04 used on the GTS-R and the intercooler piping.  Although the turbo is a laggy old-school design, it will be a bit less laggy on an RB25.  If you are to go down the aftermarket turbo route, you will need to fabricate lots of stuff.  The manifold places the turbo on an odd angle, so both the intake and exhaust pipings will need to be fabricated, and probably changes to the water and oil feeds.  The compressor housing will need to be rotated.  Not trying to put you off, just show it isn't the simplest of jobs.

I put an aftermarket turbo on my GTS-R and had to get all the fab work done.

As far as sound goes, I found that the manifold didn't howl as much as first thought, but once I dropped some Tomei poncams in it, it wailed like a banshee.  Having said that, I have been in cars with cams and 6boost manifolds and the sound is very similar.

Thanks for your reply datberger......

Do you have any pictures of your fab ?

I also have an aftermarket dump pipe (short) to suit.

I measured the turbo side mounting plate on the manifold from what I have its a T3 which I though was different from the T04 ?

What aftermarket turbo did you run ?

Cheers.

Hey mate,

I'll try to dig up some photos of the fab work for you.  I put on a Garrett GT 2860R, basically the disco potato turbo that the silvia guys use, but with a T3 .63 exhaust housing.  It is good for about 300whp.  Too small for an RB25, but comes on boost about a 1000rpm earlier than the stock T04e on my RB20.

And yes, it is a T3 mounting plate on the manifold, as the stock GTS-R exhaust housing has a T3 exhaust housing mount.

    • @Murray_Calavera  If I were an expert I wouldn't be in here looking for assistance.  I am extremely computer literate, have above average understanding on how things should be working and how they should tie together.  If I need to go to a professional tuner so be it, but I'd much rather learn and do things myself even if it means looking for some guidance along the way and blowing up a few engines. @GTSBoy  I was hoping it would be as simple as a large vacuum leak somewhere but I'm unable to find anything, all lines seem to be well capped or going where they need to be, and when removed there is vacuum felt on the tube.  It would be odd for the Haltech built in MAP to be faulty, the GTT tune I imported had it enabled from the start, I incorrectly assumed it was reading a signal from the stock MAP, but that doesn't exist.  After running a vacuum hose to the ECU the signal doesn't change more than 0.2 in either direction.   I'll probably upload a video of my settings tomorrow, as it stands I'm able to daily drive, but getting stuttering when giving it gas from idle, so pulling away from lights is a slow process of revving it up and feathering the clutch until its moving, then it will accelerate fine.  It sounds like I need to get to the bottom of the manifold pressure issue, but the ignition timing section is most intimidating to me and will probably let a pro do that part.  Tomorrow I'll try a different vacuum line to T off of, with any luck I selected one that was already bypassed during the DBW swap. @feartherb26  I do have +T in the works but wanted to wait until Spring to start with that swap since this is my good winter AWD vehicle.  When removing the butterfly, did it leave a bunch of holes in the manifold that you needed to plug?  I thought about removing it but assumed it would be a mess.   I notice no difference when capping the vacuum line to it or letting it do its thing.  This whole thing has convinced me to just get a forward facing manifold when the time comes though.
    • Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.
    • 9" wheels are a little too wide for a RWD 32. They can fit. People have put R33 GTR wheels on 32s for years and years. But they are a very tight squeeze. This has been known for about 30 years. As I said - there is no difference between a 17 and an 18 in terms of what will fit. The rolling diameter needs to stay about the same as stock - not very much larger. If you increase that, you will start to have problems. If you increae rolling diamater at the same time as yo increase width, you will have problems earlier. as 9" wheels are pushing the boundaries already, you would need to be careful with tyre choice. I would put 8.5s on the front of mine, but would expect problems with 9s.

    • Diagnostic flow for a code 21 says check signal at the ECU pins, on a voltmeter of some kind it should read 0.1V at idle, 0.12V cranking, 0.15-0.25V at 2000 rpm. Check each coil such that +1, -3 is infinite or very high resistance, -3, +2 should do the same. (-1, +3), (+3, -2), (+1, -2), and (-1, +2) should all be somewhere between 0 ohms and high resistance. If you trace the path from the coil pin all the way back to the ECU in the diagram the resistance you measure at the coil vs connected to the harness should be pretty much the same.
