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

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
