juzz wondering is it worth it upgrading from an standard turbo r32 to a rb25det standard turbo ??

will i gain more power? bottom or top end?

will there be more lag?

when will boost kick in??

how much boost is it standard? and how much could i go max boost?

is it stronger than the rb20 standard turbo?

will it bolt up direct to my standard rb20 manifold?

do i have to change the oil and water lines? or will they bolt up too?

reasonable responses is appreciated as im in the process of doing this upgrade..

cheers!

a rb25 turbo will make your r32 br20 go way better

i know of people with vg30 rolla bearing turbo on r32 and they go hard with the boost up but the boost starts late and goes all the way to 7500 rpm

you will need a fmic and bigger exhaust to make full potencial of this turbo im looking at a rb25 one or a vg30 one ...?

but the vg one has to have the oil lines made bigger or some thing so it will fit ...? you could probably use all your rb20 oil lines etc ...?

these will all bolt up to a standard 20 turbo

I am personally going for a hi-flow RB25 it'll set me back around $1950 for a hi-flow at GCG turbochargees in Sydney they told me that hi-flow is based in the middle of a stage 1 and stage 2 hi-flow. I've seen the difference in wheel sizes on the turbo and I can understand where the extra power is made.

A hi-flowed RB25 turbo will make roughly 20% more power on around 12psi.

So if your making around 170rwkw with 12psi on standard turbo you'd be looking at around 200rwkw with hi-flow.

thanks guys for your replies ..

but the rb25 turbo i got is not hi-flowed juz standard .. dont have the dosh to hi flow at the moment..

but will i be able to use the rb25 turbs without a fmic? juz standard IC?

my exhaust setup is 3.5inch to CAT then 4inch CAT back (CAT is 3.5inch)

is this exhaust setup ok? i was told its a GTR setup ..

i only feel lag on at the beginning then when boost kicks in about 3200 goes all the way to 7500 ...havent dont a dyno yet but this sat i might ..juzz to see wot power figures the rb20 turbo is giving then upgrade to rb25 turbs and dyno again ..

what are the power figures estimate on the rb20 93 mod wit 90thou klms with mods: hks pod filter, full hks exhaust setup (as above) with hks super dragger, std boost and std rb20 turbo ...????? i just wanna know so when i take it for a dyno i know what to expect ..

thanks fellaz

    • Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.
    • Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that
    • I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.
    • Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
    • 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
