just buy a bigger turbo

turbo back zaust

coilies

and a ecu

u will have 320+ hp then and why would u only havin your license for a short time want/need any more power than that for a street car?

your still gonna be limited NO MATTER what u do to about 350hp because u dont have forgies etc so why bother?

when u can afford it build a strong rb25 or just buy a rb26 straight out and put that in

cheaper..

tj, i never said i was going for that amount of power or that was the reason for doing the swap. (i was just telling Roy wat i read in a mag)

Scarifier, cheers for the reply, im not really looking for a hp figuer as such i would be happy with around 200 to 250rwhp (i cant even make that at the moment :P ) Im just looking for a different way to get power, high reving etc.

i will admit my research into putting the head on was limited and i didnt think the cost would be as huge as steve mention.

thanks everyone for replys :)

Push the stock setup to its edge via an ecu, exhaust, fmic & fuel pump.

Then look at a thicker headgasket/injectors to drop the comp ratio and a bigger turbo to push upwards to 300rwkw.

The RB25 is a good motor.. If you had an RB20 then it would be a total different story.

EDIT: There's nothing wrong with dreaming.

Just under 3years ago I used to dream about an RB30DET.

It eventually came true. :)

Just don't let it affect your studies from day dreaming. :P

You're kidding right? An RB25 will put about 175-180hp to the ground stock. Mine has turbo back HKS exhaust, K&N panel filter, FMIC and 10PSI on the stock turbo and has been Dyno'd at 227.2 RWHP. A SAFC and a little tuning would push this up round 250 easy as it has stock ECU and runs as rich as a Packer over 5000rpm.

All up it's cost me about $2K for the mods and I am currently saving for a PowerFC because I'm not all that happy with the band-aid SAFC approach.

Use your head pal, listen to people who know more than you... or don't, it's your money you will be pissing away.

PTR33, my car doesnt have a stock turbo, the front is a vg20 which is much smaller than a stock r33 turbo, i have had the car dyno @ 0.6bar and it made 194rwhp, on stock boost it made 187rwhp,

i ama running hks exhuast (cat-back), air filter, r34 gt-t cooler, bov and got ebc

so plz dont say im kidding cuz im not, i have the dyno sheet to prove my 194rwhp

I dont follow that? If we were talking NA then i may agree, but i thought it all goes out the window when you introduce forced induction.

Sorry, 'lower boost' is a bit misleading. I should have said 'lower pressure difference'. The flow bench measures by creating a vacum, so I don't really have any idea how it will perform under boost but we do have a good idea. My head porter follows the theory of making it flow as well as you can NA, then throw boost at it. You don't *need* to do anything special when boost is involved, but the extra effeciency makes the difference. It's sound in principle :rofl:. Do you think the F1 teams didn't do the same thing back in the 80's?

We have done a GTR and GTS back to back on the same turbo (GT30)The RB26 needed 5PSI more boost to make the same power as the GTS , but remove the 6 throttle bodys and the 26 show their tru form.

Thats interesting. :P

Were all other aspects equal? Exhaust system, (cat in place), intercoolers, cams?

If the GTST was running a nice big aftermarket Trust / HKS IC and the GTR running the std intercooler, then with a slightly more restrictive exhaust...could this perhaps account for the differences?

Just being sure the comparison is fare ... oh and boost was measure in the same place on both cars:)

We have done major testing and all other factors equal even some in favour of the RB26 the 25 still makes the power easyer. This is why we made our single kits.

This will become another of those threads that turns dark so just come in and we can show you the graphs and even some cars that very much prove this fact.

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
