Ive done the swap aswell and you will find a god increase in power for the same boost.

If your not using a bc make sure you swap over the Actautors as the Rb25 one is set around 5psi from memory and the RB20 is set at 10 psi i think.

As jas/slo32 said its quite easy to do.

Does the RB20DET's compressor elbow that connects to the IC piping bolt up to the R33 RB25DET turbo?

I know the R34 Compressor covers outlet is slightly larger than the RB20DET's. As a result you have to use the R34's elbow.

Has any one taken to time to measure the Comp wheel of an rb25 turbo?

I have a few approx measurements..

R34 RB25 Turbo.

Inducer - 49mm

Exducer - 66mm

Approx Trim - 55

VG30DET Turbo

Inducer - 46mm

Exducer - 63mm

Approx Trim - 54

The R34 RB25 and VG30 turbo's share the same slightly larger turbine housing. Apparently it measures some where around the .7 a/r where as the rb20/25 is around the .6 a/r. I was told the sizes by a turbo shop.

When I pull my rb20det turbo off I will measure its wheels and also compare.

yeh you need the rb25 turbo elbow. rb20 doesnt fit

no.. tried it.. bolts holes don't match up that well, and smaller diameter hole on the flange. You sort of *could* get it to work via redrilling, but could cause problems.

all i can say on that is.. good luck!

I don't know why people always take them off when they sell them as they can't be too useful for anything else, but you tend to find a large number of the rb25 turbos without them, and they can be a bitch to track down. ;)

    • Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.
    • Punch your VIN (nm35-xxxxxx) into Amayama.com You can see everything there quite easily.
    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
