hey guys,

looking at a car which has had an rb25de swapped into it... reason im going for this is i want something thats going to hold me back from wasting 10's of thousands of dollars on it (non turbo seems to be the goer for now)

this thing was just dyno'd and made 105rwkw with catback and pod and a tune...

now will rb25det cams fit into it? if so would they be ok to use? (like hks step 1 or something)

also... what other mods without touching internals could be done to gain power?

im assuming with some sort of cams and extractors i could see 130rwkw maybe? with a very decent amount of torque...

also are rb25det ecu's interchangeable? ie. would an rb25det power fc run on it?

thanks heaps

you can quite easily spend as much money on a turbo as a NA vehicle. If your chasing extreme power from NA then its gonna cost way more then a turbo. If your just after lil mods here and there then you'll be fine, especialli if ur able to do most of the work yourself. About the limit of mods with NA cars, then most guys here have done pods, CAI, cold air boxes, exhausts, hi flow cats, extractors, maybe ecu's and other lil bits and pieces.

Good luck with your venture mate

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
