I'm looking at buying a car with an RB25 which has made 480HP@20psi and am wanting to know if the engine can safely handle this power?

It has the following support mods aswell and the power was made on a TD06-25g

injecters

fmic

exhaust

bigger fuel pump

Microtech

GTR box with heavy clutch

oil catch can

Engine is said to have 65,000km's on it too..

So does it sound like the car would be able to handle this power without blowing up on me???

Also, I did a search but couldn't find exactly the info I was after. What are the power specs of this turbo? Externally gated? And what boost can be run through it?

Cheers, Matt.

Not sounding too good..

These are the mods that were listed..

ontains the following mods

RB25DET (series 2) motor 480hp@20psi

R33 GTR Gearbox with near new exceedy clutch

Modified Inlet manifold (Micks Metalcraft modification) to point the throttle to the front of the car (shorter intercooler tract) as well as ported inlet manifold by TRP in sydney.

Malpassi Rising Rate Fuel pressure regulator with gauge

660cc Injectors

650hp Walboro Fuel Pump

Microtech MT8

600x300x76 Hybrid Intercooler

Trust pod filter with 4 inch stainless inlet pipe

TD06-25g Turbo - rebuilt with 0.7 front cover with larger front wheel.

Turbonetics 45mm external wastegate with screamer

oil catch can

polished rocker covers

3 inch HKS exhaust

Tien coil overs - hight, camber, damper adjustable

5 stud conversion on all 4 corners

R33 GTS-T brakes

17x9 all around deep dish work rims

Bride drivers seat

Greddy boost gauge (white face) with peak recall

Greddy gear knob

CD Player

On street tyres this car has run a 12.00@118mph on low boost (17psi) on street tyres with a decent set of tyres lower times can easily be acheived.

So you reckon either he has used high octane, C16 or whatever it is called on the dyno?? And will definatly go boom on me without internals??

480hp... thats around 360rwkw give or take isnt it?

i'd like to see that dyno graph.... only on 20psi...

stock head too it seems, not that stock heads dont make power at all... but it would be using some fuel IMO without cams to get that high

RB25DET (series 2) motor 480hp@20psi

OK, is that 480 bhp or 480 rwhp?

If it is 480 bhp, then that would need to be measured on an engine dyno.

That's a liitle more than I would like for standard internals (450 bhp is my rule of thumb), but not extravagently so.

If it is 480 rwhp (358 rwkw) that's ~560 bhp (418 rwkw) and that's way past what I would consider to be safe for standard RB25DET internals.

Maybe its 342 rwhp (255 rwkw) and someone has simplistically added 40% to get 480 bhp. Plenty of that going around.

The 12 @ 118 mph in a Silvia works out around 225 rwkw (380 bhp).

We don't use plain bearing turbos so I can't give any comment on the 20 psi from the TD06-25g.

;)

If it does have 480rwhp on stock internals then just use an ebc, if it doesent have 1 and run around 1 bar for daily driving and it will last till you decide to rebuilt the motor with forgies etc.

Everytime you drive the car it wont be making 480rwhp unless u are at full throttle and doing 7500rpm changes all day everyday.

    • Hi everyone, I'm about to complete my first single turbo conversion on my R32 GTR and I thought I would post the step by steps that I will be following. I will list the parts I have / the parts I will be buying. I will be redoing this guide after I have completed the conversion. Parts list: - 3576 turbo 0.82 v-band (coolant and oil)  - v-band top mount turbo manifold - 50mm wastegate - manifold copper gasket - titanium manifold stud kit - turbosmart 3 port boost solenoid - link can lambda kit (wideband) - link ECU - radium 12AN push in valve cover fittings (pair) - hi octane catch can - 3.5inch downpipe - screamer pipe - pipe from turbo to intercooler - intake pipe setup - power steering relocation kit - oil drain block off plate - coolant and oil lines Now onto the step by step guide (please add / correct me if there's anything I missed: 1. remove fluids, twin turbo pipes, pod filters and afm's 2. remove the factory coolant hardlines from the hot side. 3. remove heat shields  4. remove the downpipe 5. remove turbos and manifolds 6. remove factory manifold studs 7. clean whatever mess you have made 8. install power steering relocation kit 9. install new manifold studs 10. install new turbo manifold with gasket 11. install new wastegate with screamer pipe 12. install new turbo  13. install new coolant and oil lines  14. install rear oil drain block off plate 15. stop and appreciate that you now have a single turbo in your GTR 16. wipe away tears of joy and install downpipe 17. install the wideband sensor into downpipe 18.install pipe to connect turbo to intercooler 19 .remove stock boost solenoid  20. install new boost solenoid 21.  install intake setup 22. setup the rest of the can lambda kit with the ecu  23. refill fluids and hope for the best 24. ask forums for help with issues 25. fix issues 26. drive your single turbo swapped r32 GTR into the sunset. Doneeeeeeeeeee. Now I know this isn't detailed at all but I will be doing that when the conversion is done. I will be posting pics and any helpful details i can and ill make sure to fit in as much information as I can. If there's anything I should know before i do this PLEASE let me know. Stay tuned for what's next. Thanks...
    • I have wasted too much time on this, more than I am willing to admit. I hope someone can set the record straight for me.  I want to replace my Nismo (non GT pro, non GT) standard 2 way in my R33 GTST with a 1.5 way... Ideally I want to get an ATS 1.5 way Carbon LSD, but I don't want to reuse my 29 spline 5x1 axle stubs, and new 30 spline 5x1's are impossible to get a hold of ($$$), and I don't want to drop the cash on going to 6x1 stubs and axles ATM. Which leads me to the Nismo GT Pro 38420-RSS15-B5 or RSS20, as they come with new axle stubs meant for the diff, and is "Convertible" from a 2 way or 1.5 way to "Other ways", but that is where I am stuck as the documentation is a bit all over the place.  To sum up what I have found I believe the all the Nismo GT Pro PN's are convertible from 2 way, 1.5 way, and 1 way; but Nismo sells 2 skus (2 & 1.5) so people do not have to disassemble to convert it.  I found this thread on 350z but it left the question unanswered. https://my350z.com/forum/engine-and-drivetrain/620032-nismo-gt-pro-lsd-1-5-vs-2-way-and-torque.html  Essentially the way I think it all works out is like follows...  2 way  1 way  and 1.5 way would be the center pinion shaft in the 1 way block, but with the with the center flipped 180*. So the ramped side of the pinion would face the 1 way gate and act like a ramp.    I can only get my hands on the 2 way in the states, and I am not trying to get stuffed on tariffs by ordering from Japan or anywhere else. I want to confirm that if I get the 2 way I can convert it to the 1.5.     
    • Hi everyone, I have purchased my first GTR and I want to do a single turbo conversion to it. I've been doing as much research as i can and there are a few things that I can find and need to know. I need to run a coolant feed, coolant return, oil feed and oil return for my turbo setup. Here's what I know so far: On the hot side of the rb26 there is coolant feed, oil feed and oil return. Coolant return will be going around the front of the engine to where the thermostat is located. I will need to block off the rear oil return port. I will be running a turbosmart boost solenoid so any of the factory boost stuff wont be needed. Now onto what I don't know: 1. What do I do with the coolant / vacuum hardlines that run around the back of the motor?. 2. What do I block off or loop or move or remove?. I will be running the OEM intake manifold. 3. Is there anything in particular I need to buy for the cold side of the rb26?. I already have the intercooler and pipes sorted. If you have any pictures or information it would be appreciated. Thanks....  
    • The fab work can be as simple as a couple of silicon hoses and clamps to the factory piping. 
    • Just sounds like either way you need to do some fab work to get everything to fit, so why limit yourself at that point? If the GCG high flow option is zero effort in and out swap though I'd probably do that. It's almost certainly lowest risk, lowest cost, etc. The HKS GTIII-RS option that Kapr mentioned is laughably expensive for what it is, they charge the exact same for two turbos on the RB26 so their margins are off the charts on that thing.
