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?

    • When you crank your car, and hit it with a timing light, can you see a steady crank timing?
    • Oh, forgot to add, A few months ago I was getting mixture codes and the car was using crap loads of fuel. You could smell the unburned fuel in the exhaust, it was crazy strong. Economy was over 17.5 l/100 and usually around 19. I smoked the engine and found a leaky CCV hose which I replaced and then I replaced my two pre cat O2 sensors, I also replaced the MAF. This fixed my mixture codes and improved my exonomy but I'm still 14 - 15 l/100 when pottering about town so something is still amiss. Throttle response is much better and it has more pep but I'd like to know why it's still so thirsty (and I'm hoping that whatever it is gives me a bit more poke).    
    • Car is on factory injectors/z32 maf/ q45 throttle body/ z32 ecu with nistune 
    • Hello all, currently finishing up a rb25 swap into my s14. Having issues with starting, car has spark (confirmed by pulling a plug and watching it spark), has fuel(confirmed by checking pulse/voltage at injectors all spark plugs are soaked in fuel). Car cranks over and pops into the exhaust with a heavy fuel smell but no attempt to start or run, I have torn the timing cover off and triple confirmed timing, turned the CAS in multiple spots both directions, attempted to start with coolant temp and maf unplugged, checked my fuel lines and made sure they weren’t backwards, checked voltage at cas/injectors/coilpacks, made sure all the grounds in the harness are connected and added a few grounding straps (1 from chassis to block, 1 from chassis to head, and 1 from chassis to igniter chip) I am getting stumped here. As a last ditch effort I made a full grounding harness tonight that’s going to run from the battery and add an extra ground from the battery onto the coil pack harness/igniter chip/ intake manifold/ Wiring specialties harness ground/ and alternator. I’m hoping maybe the grounding harness will fix it here but posting here to see if anyone has any other ideas on what else I can check. My fuel pressure is unknown right gauge will be here tomorrow.  IMG_3206.mov
    • yeah I was shocked when I checked my spare OEM on and as below that's how they come from Nissan. (side interesting note new NEO gearbox and replacement park lack the brass bush on the tips and its just all alloy) unsure about damage to the box currently back at 1110 to be pulled down/inspected and selector fork replaced as he built it previously and given the never before seen failure on his billet forks he is replacing it under warranty. He said he has used always OEM the keyway tab without issue for years so it could be an unlucky coincidence. I did talk to him about the sharp corners and stress concentration too. Re: hard shifts i got 7+ years out of the OEM one and the fork itself failed not the keyway. so could be bad luck as I said or an age thing + heat cycles in box and during fabrication of billet?
