I suppose good tyres and compliant suspension is more critical then the power you are running.

I suppose if my car doesnt run a 12 then i should hang my head in shame...thing is Fridays are drinking night, Calder should run the drags on Wednesday:) I think 200rwkws and very good traction may get you nudging into the 12s.

I suppose a std GTR would do a 12 straight off the boat, but where is the fun in that.:D

turn the boost down to about 12 or 13psi cos its probably just retarding the iginition and timing from the stock ecu being protective (well the 33 does this). tyres and suspension play a major part in it, whats your traction like? some cams will help the midrange power, also ecu like apexi power fc. front mount intercooler will also help. is it a full exhaust including cat, dump pipe, front pipe or just 3" to cat. definetly look at a hiflow turbo or even an r33/r34 turbo and bolt it on. i got 13.8 with 141rwkw in my r33 only have a pod filter, stock everything else @ 7psi as a comparison so you have the same rear power and probably less wieght but your acccel but be a bit less etc ?

just a Q

what is the deal with people saying ....

oh just put this in there, and sell it and buy this

do you people really understand what this man has asked

HOW DO I RUN 12s IN MY R32?

not R33, GTR , or anything else

do you really think it is worth replacing a rb20 with a rb25? think for and..

1... the price of the rb25, ECU and loom

2... the price of someone to do the conversion

i my opinion the money spent on the converion with a gain of what bout approx 15 kw

when for the same money u can high flow the turbo or change for bigger turbo, manifold, front mount and computer and a tune for prob the same price

at the end of the day its not worth it just stick with what u got and reap the rewards of of a beautiful, strong and reliable engine

and milk it for every last kw it has

but like i said its my opinion and i love the rb20 its the original, the 1 that started it all and i love the underdog.

:grouphug:

Rapturous applause:) :spank:

It may not make as much power easily, but they are stronger, can be re-mapped, cheaper to replace and will get an R32 into the 12s:thumbsup:

I would have to agree.

I've spent 6k on a motor that can't even run boost yet as I don't have a darn ECU!#$@!

I could have an R32 running low 12's for that money, nice tyres will see it there.

Toyo RA1's or RE55s

But that being said I took Darrens Rb30DET R32 for a bit of a spin today with its 2way mechanical, powerfc and 10psi. The ol' Rb30DET really is going to be a monster. Hell on 10psi it already is.

Exiting corners at low speed and rev's in second catch you off guard when you find your self at opposite lock if your not very carefull. :spank:

Its spun out when you change at 4000rpm and feel like your accelerating damn fast.

When your back over here Roy you really need to come for a spin. ;)

I will have the powerFC by then. :)

thats right i have a friend thats runninga massive truck turbo (specs unknown) front mount exhaust and a few other mods running 23 pound on standard engine it lasted 8 months of constant rape the only reason it blew was he had a new rebuilt engine at home and carved the motor up at a look out for bout an hour went through 4 tyres and then there was nothin she just let go

these motors where made to be raped and i bet they would sort most of the non believers out there

but of course it needs to be seen to be believed

The immense torque of a boosted RB30 would be bloody awesome.... :cheers:

Anyways keeping to the orignial post, you might be able to get into the 12s with a stock turbo IF you get a real good launch (60fts <2 sec, preferably lower).

But for guaranteed 12s, get a bigger turbo like a HKS 2530/2535, ECU remapped, injectors and bingo...

driver always plays a part in the time you get too. getting all this power to the ground is another thing, its all good having 200+rwkw there to use but no fun (relativly) if all you do is sit there spinning the wheels...you try it with all the suggested mods here and a skyline weighing around 1150kg out of the showroom... :rant:

My mods were . Hi flow turbo running 17psi . Hybrid front mount .. Full exhaust. stock computer with afm cut and speed cut taken out . 12.7 @ 114mph on street tyres.

I appologise for the ignorance but what is the AFM cut. Do you mean the swap to Z32 or infinity or is there another way to get rid of it.

Sorry for the off topic question also.

So I'll add this.

Hybrid Hyflow (which I blew last night - 2 years old running 18 psi) $1500 fitted

PWR intercooler (biggest you can possibly fit) $1500 fitted

Bosch 945 550 HP fuel pump $270

Malpassi Rising rate reg $165

Full exhaust including wastegate bypass $250

Everything else WAS stock at the time

12.3 @ 119 mph

+ what's so good about bloody RB25's and 26's anyway. The 20 is stronger than both in my opinion. Plus parts are cheaper and they rev better.

and if you're gonna go to all the trouble of putting a different engine in, gimme $10,000 and I'll build ya a V8 that'll pull 10's.

My advice...stick with the 20 and throw about $4000 into it..

also, invest in an oil cooler, this will turn your neck snapping 12 second 32 GTST into a "hey, I've had my 32 for 5 years now and it's still a neck snapping 12 second GTST".....(add words like 'hot', 'tough', 'killer' or awesome or all of the above into the previous statement)

    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi 
    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
