Hi everyone,

I have bought a complete RB25DET motor and I am putting the head onto a standard 3L bottom end. I beleive the 3L is fairly strong. Provided that it holds up will it be possible to get 350RWKW out of it with only these bolt ons?

GT40, PowerFC, Intake Plenum, FMIC, 3" exhaust, 550cc side fed injectors.

Around how much boost will I need to run? Also if I need to run more boost, what is the best method to prevent detentation? ie water injection?

I wasnt sure whether or not to put this on the other thread but its too long to go through, sorry if something simliar to this has been posted. :Oops:

Thanks Edward

an aftermarket head gasket would be nice to drop comp ratios a bit more so you can run higher boost.

Uprated fuel system to cope with the demand, just injectors won't be enough, a pump upgrade would be good, or just go the whole hog and get the propper high power fuel setup, with surge tanks etc

Best method to prevent detonation - don't mix high boost with an already high compression ratio. Give it a good dyno tune too, to get the cam timing right and the Fuel:Air ratios

rubbish.

rb30 bottom end and rb25 head will give it 8.3:1 compression... that's not high..!!

as for 350rwkw... it would definitely be pushing the stock rods and pistons at that level.

You really should read the 91 pages that are there in that thread.

also, saying GT40 turbo doesn't really mean anything.. what is it's rating? AR's etc... these will tell you if it will flow enough to produce the power you want.

these have been covered in that thread.

i wasn't saying it would give a high compression ratio, i was saying a higher compression ratio is something you want to avoid when running higher boost

Plus if you do change the gaskets then there's one less thing you will need to worry about later on

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
