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

    • Initially I thought having a pair of Recaro seats would be a big bonus, it turns out these do get a little uncomfortable on long journeys (my fault, not the seat). I had a look through the GSM Performance website at reclining seats and booked an appointment to visit their show room. I got the Recaro Sportster CS for the R34 from here, was very happy with the service received so of course a re-visit was in order. Unfortunately the two Corbeau seats I had chosen aren't on display but they had 4 other options available. Two seats dug into my back, one dug into my legs and the other was perfect. I also found out that Recaro seats use a larger bolt pattern so some adaption was required. Luckily GSM offer some universal adaptors that should solve this problem. I searched the interwebs for price comparisons and Corbeau themselves were the cheapest at £300 cheaper (for the pair). I asked GSM if they could price match, unfortunately they couldn't. I later received an email saying Corbeau would honour them the same discount, but the purchase was already made. I did however order the brackets from GSM, both arrived on the same day. I started with the passenger side seat, knowing this was going to be a little trial and error. There are 3 mounting holes at the front and 2 at the rear on these JURAN Racing seat rails.  With the adaptor brackets mounted, the allen cap bolts started to push into the seat, NOT GOOD!  The rear mounting holes lined up but there were issues at the front. The holes were 1/2 hole out, so the brackets got a tickle with the drill to modify the holes. The supplied bolts weren't going to be long enough and a spacer was needed to stop the adaptor bars from bending. A local fasteners company supplied be with some nylon spacers and longer bolts (M8x30, although these will be replaced with 35mm long shortly) A before and after I pre-drilled the front bracket before making a start on the driver's seat to save some time. And in no time at all that was in the car too. The all black seats have transformed the interior and these are MUCH more comfortable. The only downside with the new Corbeau seats is I sit a little higher, but I'll happily accept that over discomfort. The Youtube video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPyttKPktXA
    • All 3 I guess. The car came with the JASI Aero 4 door Type R Full Kit unpainted so this was one thing at the top of my list to complete then I noticed there were body panels parts for this kit so i picked them up along with some black mesh to fill in the front bumper and front side air vents. car is at a paint and body shop atm completing this work. Next I will be addressing the internal bells and whistles, great summer project I can do with the kids.  full interior removal - ,boys car sound deadening - pads and spray ,boys stereo, sound, lighting - Big 3, GTT or bigger alternator ,kids head lining - dye black add star lighting mod ,daughter. That's it for the next 5-6 months. I have some motor maintenance  work i have to plan out. oil filter relocation, gaskets, mounts. beyond that, mind is starting to turn over if i can use a DET intake plenum, block off turbo ports & pipe in a air intake.      
    • roller coaster of a ride. Alarm system was removed & main harness was repaired where possible. still no fix just random successful starts. moved on to the replacing the ignition switch and relay. well all this troubleshooting & repair has been going on, the car is at a paint and body shop being pushed around. Ive been going down there on odd days after work to get it sorted.
