Hi, as the title states: does anyone know if the 25GT manual gearbox is the same one they use in GTTs?

the reason i ask that is because im planning to turbo my rb25de neo but need to find out if i have to upgrade the gearbox or just the clutch?

cheers

rebuild the RB25DE into an RB30DET....great engine with a ton of power.

Change the transmission...it will die with that sort of power going through it, upgrade toa  GT-T box.

thanks Dan

so you are saying that the 25gt manual gearbox is different to the gtts one?

have you changed the standard gearbox in your 25gt for the kind of power you are making(150rwkw correct?)?

Yeah the gearboxes are different, very similar but different. I left the auto in my R34...it only had a couple of clutch plates less than the GTT box, and also had a lower stall point so wasn't as excessively abusive on the mechanicals...a manual box would cop it a lot more, so should be swapped.

I don't have that car anymore, it was stolen and written off...so I'm now going through the upgrade process with my new GTT.

Once you've driven a high-compression car with a turbo, it's funny going to the factory lagmonster!

haha thats right! i like the idea of high compression engine with a turbo less lag!

if i leave the factory 10.1 compression and run a turbo with no more than 7psi boost, instead of using a factory gtt turbo, in theory wouldnt i make more power with a bigger bolt on turbo like an gt2835?

im also think an aftermarket high mount manifold, an aftermarket front mount intercooler and a gtt upgrade full exhaust. many of these parts are selling at a bargain price on ebay. hows this package sound to you?

oh and ofcourse PFC!

The only other example of a high-comp R34 turbo conversion was in Greece, it used a TO4E, which spooled up very well with the compression. Best to wait and see what turbo you decide to buy...as you're going to have to get custom piping and flanges for the exhaust and intercooler, nothing on e-bay will really suit.

Don't forget to try and get hold of some GTT injectors, a fuel pump, and an uprated fuel regulator to make tuning more simple.

Here is the other 25GT

thanks for that,

so heres the plan:

aftermarket high mount manifold designed for rb25det with t3 flange and external wastegate type(i suppose it should be a direct bolt on to rb25de neo right?)

hks gt2835 turbo (as i can buy one off my mate dirty cheap)

external wastegate- just love the sound

and all other gtt parts as you mentioned above.

now just two questions: which type of PFC to get? and what about the stock airbox? would it be sufficient? or need custom intakes too?

cheers

OK...both of these cars used the e-manage, but I'm 99.9% sure you'll be fine using the normal GTT PFC, as all the connections and ECU sockets are the same. The only thing I think you'll neeed to invest in is the optional pressure sensor for the PFC. The GTT has one connected from factory, this will most likely be the input that would confuse it, if it wasn't there.

Stock airbow should be fine, put a pod in if you feel the need.

Can you get me one of these dirt cheap turbo's? :D

well not exactly dirty cheap, its a garret turbo dont know the specs yet but similar to a GT35, for under 2k. cheap in comparison to an internal wastegated hks gt3037 which retails like 5k if im not wrong.

so yeah sure mate, if u want one i guess i could get u one. no worries

you would probably need custom pod intake to make room for the highmount

    • Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.
    • @PranK can you elaborate further on the Colorlock Dye? The website has a lot of options. I'm sure you've done all the research. I have old genuine leather seats that I have bought various refurbing creams and such, but never a dye. Any info on how long it lasts? Does it wash out? Is it a hassle? What product do I actually need? Am I just buying this kit and following the steps the page advises or something else? https://www.colourlockaustralia.com.au/colourlock-leather-repair-kit-dye.html
    • These going to fit over the big brakes? I'd be reeeeeeeeaaaall hesitant to believe so.
    • The leather work properly stunned me. Again, I am thankful that the leather was in such good condition. I'm not sure what the indent is at the top of the passenger seat. Like somebody was sitting in it with a golf ball between their shoulders. The wheels are more grey than silver now and missing a lot of gloss.  Here's one with nice silver wheels.
    • It's amazing how well the works on the leather seats. Looks mint. Looking forward to see how you go with the wheels. They do suit the car! Gutter rash is easy to fix, but I'm curious about getting the colour done.
