Hey guys im new to the site and just seeking some information from the guru’s 

 

soi have a s2 r33 factory gts25 sedan auto and long story short it’s become a 20e manual somewhere in its life now im converting it back, ive been doing alot of research and cant find if the flywheel from the 20e and the crank pulley from the 20e will fit the Rb25, and can someone confirm id need a pink sticker afm and also if any blue sticker ecu works for does it need to be specific. But im sorted for everything else

Flywheel is the same. I would not expect the crank pulley to be the same, and I'm horrified that the 25 you appear to have bought did not have one on it. You might just have to buy aftermarket.

Pink sticker AFM, check. ECU? You need one with the right part number. I wouldn't base decision off of sticker colour!

Cool about the flywheel cheers, it has a crank pulley on the Rb25 but there is a chip in it and and it will tear the belt so was hoping it would be convenient lol, i was meant to write blue plug ecu not sticker sorry

The R33 did come with an RB20E from factory though I'm not sure you could bring one in. How sure are you that this is not a factory RB20E R33 with a badge?

Im in new zealand so we get a majority being a rb25de, but anyway my vin plate says rb25de and also the nz vehicle check site confirms stock rb25de, and it was a friend of mine that put the 20e in as he bought it as a rolling body then just put stuff he had laying around in it

      Nismo GT Pro LSD configurations

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Well, the trouble with that ^^ is: The configuration shown is absolutely a 1-way, not a 1.5-way. There is no way that a 1.5-way can be said to offer LSD action only on acceleration. If Nismo cannot get that right, then it is impossible to believe their documentation. That ^ is not a 1.5 way setup. That is a 1-way.   And so now I have allowed all doubts to flourish and have gone back to look at the MotoIQ video. I originally made the mistake of believing him when he said "this is a 1.5-way" at the ~6:10 mark. Because what he did was take the gear assembly out of the 2-way opening and just rotate it one place to the left to drop it into the 1-way opening. When he dropped it in there, the cam was "backwards" compared to the correct orientation shown in all other photos of that config. The flat shold have been facing the 1° ramp side of the opening, not the 55° ramp side. And I thought, "gee that's cute", but I was concerned at the time, when he put the other ring back on, that the gap between the rings looked like it was wider then in the 2-way config. And then I said a lot of things in my long post on Tuesday that could only make sense if the guy from MotoIQ was correct about what he'd done. BUT... I have now done my homework. I grabbed a frame of the video with the 2-way config, and then grabbed another with the "1.5-way" config, snipped out the cam and opening of that frame and just pasted it direct on top of the 2-way config. I scaled it so that the triangular opening was almost exactly the same height in both. AND.... the gap between the plates is wider with the cam installed in the triangualr opening backwards. That is.... it cannot go together that way. There would be massive force on the plates all the time, if you could even reassemble it.  So, My statement on the matter? The Nismo diff is actually only a 2-way and 1-way. There is no 1.5-way option in it, regardless of what they say. Here's a photo of a real 1.5-way ramp opening from Cusco (along with the 1 way option). And the full set of 1 through 2 way options from their racing diff, which is not same-same as what we'd typically be using, but...the cams work the same. A little blurry, but it comes from this Cusco doc, which is quite helpful. AND.... Cusco do in fact do what I suggested would be sensible, which is to have rings that do 1 and 1.5, and 1.5 and 2. Separately.

      Well it wasn't as easy as I thought.... and it also wasn't in my original manual which I did end up finding. They discuss the process in the Nismo catalogue though and it requires slight machining. Page 145.  NISMO PARTS CATALOGUE 2020

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I'm an idiot, my intercooler is rated for 1000hp. I had clicked on the wrong product. Knowing the delta P would be nice, but I'm doubtful I'll do it. Now as for an EMAP, that would be great and I'll get around to it eventually but from my findings in my last post, I'm considering a turbo swap now.
