how did you get the gt30 to use a standard rb25det turbine section. i was told it could not be done as i already have a nice downpipe and aexhaust i was wanting to keep using. what HP levels do you think the internally wastegated gt30 will allow for before blowing open the wastegate flapper. beautiful setup!!

The wiring on the rb25det s2 is different to s1. S1 has four wires - 12v supply, 12v earth, signal supply and signal earth. While s2 has 12v supply, common earth and a signal supply.

He is not using the std rb25 (a/r 0.4#) housing, he is using the vg30 (a/r 0.6#) housing.

I had the same problem with my turbo up grade, when the car is started it will idel fine but after a few revs it hunt idel and stall. so to fix this I need to plumb back my BOV and make sure the spring wasn't to hard set.

fixed the problem but need to update the ecu from standard now as the safc2 is as far as I can go with it. Pulling 230rwkw on standard injectors and 12psi.

need the powerFC and 555cc injectors to get bigger power!!!!

I'm still running the standard BOV plumbed back. My mate put a little pipe on the 4 inch intake to accomodate... so its not that :D

Tonight, I might record the whole 2 maps onto an excel spreadsheet, and reset the ECU. This might help it find the idle again.

The maps are tuned too good to loose. Paul, I'll be sure to pass them onto you. You'll have 210rwkw in no time.. But just be careful, as you may need to tweak it (retard timing just a little) to prevent detonation.

Its a VG30.. .63 housing, not standard. You need to read the thread a little better.

I'm not going to blow open the "flapper" unless I put on a really weak actuator. My mate has a supra running 320rwkw + it has a 800hp turbo attached internally gated.

the only problem with an internally gated turbo is the fact that it may surge, and the boost cannot be controlled as well at higher levels...

I'm only gonig to be running 1bar - 1.1 bar.

thanks heaps for this, will update my page/info pics area

if u reset the pfc will that reset the idle learning thing too?

yeah, and I lose all my tuning ($500 worth)

I just spoke to my tuner and he said that I may have fried the little stepper motor that controls the idle, so I am going to pull it off tonight and see if it moves. If it appears to be working properly, I am going to grab a laptop and map out the ignition and injector maps on an excell spreadsheet, and reset the power FC and do the idle learning.

My tuner (he is a pretty good mate too, mates with my fabricator friend lol..small town) said not to lose the current tune as it will be a good starting point. I really hope I can get some good power out of my motor. Torque mainly. He did say it was a bit of a freak to be a 1996 and have 169psi accross all cylinders and only 2% leakdown, and should go well.

Must be the oil and tune hey? I run Shell Helix 5w40 Fully Synthetic, and change it every 5,000 kms.

:D

Myself and Ashton (fabricator friend) are gonig to change the clutch on saturday. My tuner is giving me a RB25 Flywheel to get machined, so that I can put it in and give him my flywheel to swap (cause we won't be able to get it machined on a saturday)

anyway, its looking good.

Checked Nengun, the injectors won't leave Japan till the 9th of october.. must be a shortage :D oh well, plenty of time eh :D

I will keep this thread updated. Oh and if anyone has any tips, you are more than welcome to share them.

And I again say thanks to Paulr33, he's a value to the SAU community. If you own a Skyline, definately go and have a look at his site (in his sig)

The project has only begun.

With regards to the turbine housing size of the vg30.

I've been speaking to ATS here in Adelaide, he said there are no documented specs on the RB20/25DET and VG30DET turbine housing. He has measured up the VG30DET turbine housing and said it is some where around the .72 size.

The RB25det turbine housing on the other hand is a .6 something, not a .4 like some of us believe.

If he is right or not is another thing. :D

very interesting..

as .72 would be even better... Quick spool of a .63 with the nice smooth characteristics of a .86..

if anyone can, please confirm this. maybe measure one up.

no worries paulr33. Took me a fuse to work it out properly lol. That was for wiring a z32 to a s2 r33. I used cubes guide as a reference and then once worked out cubes and sk ok'd it. If you add that it should give everyone else an idea on how to do it.

With the 0.70 comp housing and small 0.64 rear its gonna come on like a switch and your gonna be laying black rubber all over the road than have forward momentum :D

It will be interesting to see the response and top end using the stock cast exhaust manifold.

lol thats awesome, good to see safety is priority no.1...whos the bloke wearing the thongs in the workshop? wicked project there, should go nicely once tuned.

I was thinking the same thing!

oh and Mafia have you tried Greenline.jp for the injectors? I find them quicker than nengun

mmm GT30...

    • The fab work can be as simple as a couple of silicon hoses and clamps to the factory piping. 
    • Just sounds like either way you need to do some fab work to get everything to fit, so why limit yourself at that point? If the GCG high flow option is zero effort in and out swap though I'd probably do that. It's almost certainly lowest risk, lowest cost, etc. The HKS GTIII-RS option that Kapr mentioned is laughably expensive for what it is, they charge the exact same for two turbos on the RB26 so their margins are off the charts on that thing.
    • Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.
    • Thank you all for the replys 🙂 I know that intake would be different but that is one pipe at it is not that hard to get(custom one). I meant mainly bolt to the stock manifold and the turbo elbow. I looked and many sites/forums but they are just "old" with some old HKS turbos from GT-R i guess? What about some Garrets?  Or any other turbo? Is there even a turbo which i can just bolt on? 😄 And yeah i know about that new HKS but that is like 2000k USD without taxes/shipping in here   Iam getting a touch up tune but my "problem" is that on the "not" hot day iam getting peaks around 0,9 bar...and when it was around 15 Celsious i saw peak around 1 bar which is just too much for stock turbo. And of course turbo is old and i like to get some new one for a piece of mind 🙂 
    • I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
