I also installed 3 inch exhaust from the dump pipe ( 2 resonators only, no cat ) and K&N pannel filter. With the RB20DET actuatoer i was hopeing to lock boost at 10psi but the boost goes up to 11.2psi and i have huge power loss.

But with RB25DET actuatoer it holds 7psi through out the power curve and give good power.

Explain the power dip, as u mention some thing about the computer?

dude ...u may wanna check your intercooler piping clamps and make sure they are tight and not leaking ....

check for vacum leaks etc .. and u may wanna re-set ur ECU especially after u have added extra bolt - on modz.

also check the exhaust manifold for cracks and u may wanna replace the gaskets etc... if u have not done that yet ..but if igured u have since u replaced the turbz already ..

finally tried fitting my rb25 turbo onto my rb20 yesterday.

with no success.

seems my water and oil feed banjo bolts on my rb20 turbo are smaller then on the rb25 turbo i got.

all i can think of is that my rb20det engine is a series 1 engine.

is it just a case of using the original rb25 turbo banjo bolts?

or will i need the rb25 water and oil lines aswell?

any info could help me

cheers.

anyone here with first hand experience with a rb25 turbo onto a series 1 rb20 engine?

RSTME- check the link bellow. I've done this a while back and you got all the info in there.

Hui - My car is Auto as well and I haven't had any issues at all.

no.. I have a s1 engine (1989) rb20, and was able to use exact same factory fittings to fit rb25 turbo.. No other changes required.

So either your "rb25 turbo" is not in fact one, or well I don't know :P

it is a rb25 turbo steel front wheel and ceramic rear wheel.

nedb. thanks mate,ill ring around for some new lines.

k,i got $120 connections for the new lines,r33 turbo is on now

i have a manual boost controller(T-piece thing)

took it for a spin, hit over 20psi so i turned it down.

also noticed it now runs heaps rough(like an old v8)

will it idle normal when i get a SAFC and get it tuned?

also i noticed the last bolt for my exhaust manifold is missing.

Now ive turned it down so far it only boosts to 5psi in first gear at 5000rpm, then easy makes 15psi in 2nd at about 4500-5000rpm.

automatic

r34smic

3"dump/frontpipe

3"highflow cat

3 1/2" fromt cat-back.

im using a rb20turbo actuator aswell,should i try removing the T-piece boost controller?

the hose from my actuator runs to the T-piece then to the compressor housing.

is that right?

    • Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!    
    • So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat. 
    • Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞
    • I suppose it was relatively stock too, the JZ motor handle most mods thrown at them without even breaking a sweat 
    • I saw your intro update, are you sure you've actually had a starter motor failure? You mention it could be the alarm causing it. I'm assuming you've got a no start issue, but what are the exact symptoms, as there could be a few reasons it has stopped wanting to start.
