i'm new to this forum and am hoping that someone will be able to tell me if up gradeing the turbo to one that still will bolt straight on is a good idea? i own a 94 gts-t with a 3inch exhaust heavy duty, brass button clutch pod filter aftermarket bov and a boost tap. soon i will have a front mount....when i know how to bolt it in and an aftermarket ecu. my quest for more power never ends.

can anyone help!!

Whats the biggest turbo i can fit with out doing major engine mods ?

u can have a 3037proS which should support around 300rwkw and bolt on to stock mainfold.

other than a Power FC.

u will need a thicker head gasket, bigger fuel pump, injector too.

maybe some cam and cam gear to give a bit more adjustment.

not to forget some body brace to strengh up the body for the extra power.

Dude 300rwkw,man your motor wont be able to handle it for to long.

A head gasket is a bare minimum upgrade for some when going into 230-250rwkw territory.Not to mention fuel pump,550cc injectors (are optional pending on duty cycle),power fc or similar,intercooler,full 3'' turbo back exhaust,boost controller.

Good rubber and good suspension will see good use of this power.Brakes are supposed to be okay at this power but i would also consider that if you were going to go to a track with that much power go a brake upgrade.

A high flow is a popular choice of upgrade,hks 2530 is supposed to be a good upgrade for stock internals.

I say if you are serious about this don't venture far away from the high flow horsepower ratings when choosing a turbo.Mix certain combos to get a better flowing motor to complement the turbo i.e.extractors,cams maybee a match ported & polished head etc..

Cams are considered good because they reduce the dynamic commpression in the engine and as an alternative to cams you could use a exhaust cam gear for a better tune.Either will give a better mid range power output but the cams will give more.

3037 turbo and 300 rwkw forget about it.Im not saying it cant be done it can.Just the motor wont last long at all no matter what way you look at it.For this a rebuild is definently recomended.

Ask others what they have done with their turbo combo to go with it.

As for turbo choices There is a rb25 turbo upgrade thread it should give you a better idea of what choices you can make.

    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
