I’ve been pretty set on a direct bolt-in turbo, the GT3076R (I think), it’s a direct bolt-in for the RB25. It does need different oil and coolant line connections but it will work with 6 bolt down pipe. It’s like $1300… but people have been pushing 400WHP with it on NICO.

I got another used turbo bolted on and it works great but the bearings sound like ass. I’m going to check my oil supply lines and if the turbo gets worse I’ll take it over to Boxersix to inspect it.

What’s “Speed Density”?

Speed density is MAP based tuning, which I’d assume the RB25 is already based on.

You don’t have a MAF, right?

speed density is when the flux capictor is at the optimal temp for time travel

Actually it does have a MAF (I’m running a Q45 Z32), I think all RB’s have MAFs. I’m running the MAF in a blow-through setup. With the RB25 Power FC there is no MAP option, I think only the RB26 Power FC comes with the option, I could of connected a RB26 Power FC to the RB25, but I got a good deal on my Power FC. There are alot of engine management units out there that can run MAP, just not mine.

Just finished the last three panels last night hopefully today I’ll start bolting them up!

The MAF is generally a limiting factor, which is why they switch to MAP.

Oh, I’m sure. Lots of potential in MAF setups as well.

Shit my bad, I have a z32 MAF not a Q45. My throttle body is from a Q45.

Anyway, I have everything bolted on and it looks pretty good. I have to finish wiring up my fan controller and all the lights for the silvia front. I’ll try and check the turbo’s oil flow tonight.

I should have more pics up soon.

Was very busy this weekend, driving the car around alot, lil bro’s grad party, family, ect.

Got the car almost 100% together. It needs a buff on the paint, some touch up with the paint gun, and some little things. But it seems to be running great.

I just took this picture earlier this evening, pretty crappy pic but I’ll take another tomorrow maybe.

At first I wasnt sure if I’d like that front bumper, but as soon as I painted it black and installed it, I like it. I’d like to get a Areo bumper/side skirts though, not a big fan of fiberglass parts.
