Hi,

I am planning on upgrading rb25det turbo to a GT30 hybrid, the hpInABox one (has a machined nissan zaust housing) I have all the supporting mods except injectors and Z32 AFM. I am hoping for around 250rwkw.

1st question is there anything I should be aware of when removing the current turbo and replacing it with the gt30. I will have all the water & oil lines and the spacer required in between the turbo and manifold??

2nd question is what injectors should I go for. At the moment I am thinking of either HKS or Nismo 555cc ones which will cost about $900. But you can get 740cc for slightly more, should I get the bigger ones seeing to price difference is only about $100???

Last Question, there is another member on this forum who has made 260rwkw with this setup but did it running 20psi. Is 20psi of boost too much for stock internals on a rb25det?

any comments are welcome...

turbo - if you have all the swapover bits then it will be fine.

Just need a new dump and I/C intake piping made up to suit i'd say.

are you using a PowerFC?

if so get the nismo 740's IMO. For about $20-$40 difference you might aswell just incase you want more power in future.

I think the 555 nismo are the RB26 items... but then someone else said they are making em too... but i couldnt find anyone stocking 555 for the RB25 about a year ago.

No such thing as too much boost really... As long as it isnt knocking it should perfect internals wise.

Not sure how the headgasket will holdup @ that much.

Although i havent heard of it being a problem ... and i think INASNT has a stock headgasket.. send him a PM to find out.

dont forget that the bigger the injectors the more hassles you'll have at idle...

i just put SARD 550cc inj in my rb25. diret fit and and these can handle over 330rwkw without an adjustable Fuel pressure regulator.. so uless you plan to go over that... i'd use the smaller ones just for ease of idle quality.

Sards work and are cheap but have been known to have a poor spray pattern. Idle quality and fuel economy will suffer as a result.

Their twin-hole injectors may be better, I haven't heard much about them as of yet.

Nismo and HKS are always a safe bet.

Sard injectors are cheap, but still have to buy the collars to support them in your car and they are around $250 mark so in the end the the nismo injects would cost the same and have less hassles to bolt into the car!....I will be ordering HKS or nismo injectors around the 550cc size!

dont forget that the bigger the injectors the more hassles you'll have at idle...

incorrect, plain and simple.

If your tuner cant get 740's to idle like stock ones with a PowerFC then its time for a new tuner

thanks again guys, a couple more q's:

1)Anything else that I need when buying new injectors, like washers etc???

2)After I install the z32 AFM, do I select "super intake" in the PFC options or is it the other option for z32??

3)What/where do I make the injector correction for 740cc or 555cc injectors in the PFC?

I am asking these questions cause I need to make sure that the car will travel to sydney from canberra after the installations... At this point I am looking at putting the Z32 on, the GT30 hybrid and leave the injectors to the tuner.

1st question is there anything I should be aware of when removing the current turbo and replacing it with the gt30. I will have all the water & oil lines and the spacer required in between the turbo and manifold??

Is there a reason why you have a spacer? Is the turbo physically too large to fit, or is there a difference in the flange pattern?

I'm doing this and the reason you need the spaceer is because ht compressor cover hits the exhaust manifold when you rotate it to fit. It is also a little close and will mst likely draw in alot of heat.

also, its handy to make the rest of the plumbing fit.

GT30's are hard to low mount, but do-able.

GunMetalR33,

I am going to go a slightly different way of making similiar power.

I am going to use the slightly larger VG30 turbine housing, have it machined and bolt it up to a 700382-12 CHRA.

The 700382-12 CHRA is the new gen GT30 comp wheel, it runs the .6 comp cover so it 'shouldn't need a spacer.

The stock RB turbine housing is a tad small, consider grabbing your self either a VG30 turbine housing or VLT.

However, the VLT turbine housing will require a new dump pipe but they are much easier to get a hold of.

With the above setup you will crack 270rwkw easily and possibly even push very close to 300rwkw if not over with a set of cams.

'Should' :(

    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
