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.

    • 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.
    • Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.
    • Thank you all for the replys 🙂 I know that intake would be different but that is one pipe at it is not that hard to get(custom one). I meant mainly bolt to the stock manifold and the turbo elbow. I looked and many sites/forums but they are just "old" with some old HKS turbos from GT-R i guess? What about some Garrets?  Or any other turbo? Is there even a turbo which i can just bolt on? 😄 And yeah i know about that new HKS but that is like 2000k USD without taxes/shipping in here   Iam getting a touch up tune but my "problem" is that on the "not" hot day iam getting peaks around 0,9 bar...and when it was around 15 Celsious i saw peak around 1 bar which is just too much for stock turbo. And of course turbo is old and i like to get some new one for a piece of mind 🙂 
    • I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
