Just to let you know you CAN run 500HP on a stock ecu. It has to be chipped, or modified with a Emulator or a Daughter board.

Are you going to keep your VVT?

Talk to Carl H I think he knows something about running RB25's on a VG ecu and keeping VVT etc...

Alot cheaper than a AEM.But... a AEM unit is very nice though, big bucks.I've heard they were the most user friendly too.What are they like $2500 or something like that.

Your setting your car up for drag??

If you ever roam down to South Florida hit me up. There's a couple of RB's running around down here.

twin gt3071s? laaaaaaag city, thats a horribly inefficient setup.a single 35r would do that no problem and would be much more responsive.i personaly run a power fc but if i could do it again knowing what i do now i would have kept my std ecu and hardcore remapped it.

Sry 30/72r's and no, they were sequentially set up so no laaag city. man right when we hit the gas they were on! Put down 601 on alcy @ around 32lbs. Definatly more responsive than the t72/101 that my tuner is running now. 38-40lbs on that baby.

You might have seen the can in a previous issue of TURBO Magazine. Its called the silver streaker. Thats the kit thats sitting on the dining room table.

P.S. i don't mean to come off rude or as a know it all or any of that hype.

Thanks for everyones input.....!! Keep it coming!

was this kit off of a silver s14 that was at nopi @ atl about 2 years ago, if so the guy who owned it was a complete tool and told me to basicaly go f*ck myself.acted like he knew everything about these motors and was god, douche nozzler was with nick hogan and his little 'posse'.actual quote 'aem is the best engine management system ever and i rev this motor to 9.5k.' bah people like that make me want to sell my car.actualy come to think of it same guy was running massive ammounts of methanol to keep the motor from assploding, and had a (imho) poorly constructed plenum.

RB25det SII, Stock internals, custom intake, T4, 1000cc, Thinking either PFC or Chipped Z32 ecu (if Carl doesn't hate me by the time I figure it all out) and hoping for at least 510 rwhp. Its been done on a stock motor, I've seen more then that done on a stock motor, so for those who think its not... shhhhh.

Whoot get it done Carlos, send me some new pics!

So your going to be running a GT30R and a GT72R sequentially??

What's a GT72R???

Can you post up a link to this kit??

I HIGHLY doubt you'll be running 38-40psi on a stock RBxx anything.

You should buy Steath Z's pistons. LOLThen you can go ahead with your project.

I would like to see this kit on something. but practicallity or $$ wise doesn't make much sense.

You do know that with the $$ just buying the Sequential kit you could have a RB26 with upgraded turbos making 600hp.FYI

It would be a great Magazine car though.

2 gt30's? wtf lol.. I thought you said 500 hp not 1000.

I'm pretty sure *1* GT3076R could get you that much power... But Sil240's right ^^ it would look blingin in a magazine, I dont know what your goals are with the car... Show cars do some pretty pointless things *shrug*

NoI dont know about a 72r or what your even talking about (30/72) 72 a/rThere is no link. Its all custom.38-40 psi... as stated above, is not in my car, but my tuners. And yes, its bone stock w, cams, aem, alchy, & custom intake and exhaust mani's. Dont hate.

Stop trying to bash me. I'm not coming in here acting like I know it all or telling any of you how to run your setups, so why are you being a d!ck with your Stealth Z piston remarks?!

(Carl H) I'm assuming you have met him. HAHA Yah he comes off as an ***. Probably because he was with nick. But at least you know what i'm talking about. You saw the kit, thanks for not being a deush to the new guy.

(Drifting is lame) The point of the 2 turbos is not for high hp. Its simply for uniqueness & hella fast spool. And drifting is not lame

Well I thought you wanted to run a GT30R and a GT72R???And run them at 38-40PSI

Stealth Z has some super duper low compression pistons, that you could run down the drag strip. Giving you a little poke.

But since your are not.Then Sorry :-)

So twin GT30R's with a .72 AR on a Rb25 ran Sequentially???

But i thought the point to Sequential systems was to have a Smaller turbo and a Bigger turbo. ???Also you have you configure the turbo sizes so that you can have as close to seamless boost as possible too.

One GT35R should be able to take you to 500HP, plus its cheaper. Waaayyy cheaper.

I don't know exactly how a sequential system works but your going to have 2 turbos, 2 wastegates, either some REALLY big wastegate or some kind of high temp booste dependent valve, and a twin down pipe. All custom exhaust work too.

If you do it, that woud be awesome I'd love to see it .

Running 2 gt30's on an rb25 for hella fast spool?? ....Uniqueness? lol yeah I'll give you that.. but a chop top prelude with lambo doors is pretty unique too. Is this a show car or a street car?

put on a couple more gt30's and get it spoolin even faster

waste of money IMO. no need for twins with only 500whp, a properly sized single will do it.

but its your money.

Bro thats not sequentialThats setup in parallel like a GTR.A Supra and a Rx-7 (FD) have sequential setups.I think you just used the wrong word.

That's cool.But 2 GT30r's will make like 8-900 HPI don't know about them spooling up Hella fast because if your running them in parallel.3 cylinders per turbo.This is how your going to run your setup right??

Your going to have 1.25Liters pushing a Gt30R each.There's guys running that turbo dont know about the AR though on RB20's but they're getting into boost at like 3,500 rpm i think.

Maybe your gonna want smaller twins.

Stricnynelos is running twin high flow EVO IV turbos on his RBXX.

Oh yeah to answer your initial question.

RB21 Stock ECU chipped rb25 Turbo etc....Going to be runing Emaulator type setup aiming for 350-400whp

hmmm... twin turbo on a RB25... and only wanting 500hp... man, I guess I have some money to burn too, I'll do a Quad Turbo on the RB25 and let's see.. would that be lag free??? if I wanted to add another RB25 in the rear??? oh snap, I should do a custom carbon fiber body too. lol, j/p I see a RB25 with 2 turbo's is useless plus, what else are you doing to the car??? you should list everything you have in it and planing to get.then some people would have a better idea and help you out.

hey I have that same pic with the twin turbo setup, did you get that pic from ebay??? lol well good luck on your project, I'm still waiting for my engine to die, man it's been almost 5 & haft years now. I'm aiming for RB30or just dump the whole car and get a real GT-R.

wow, this thread turned from something that might've been useful to a bunch of tools flaming each other. Shut the f*** up and get back to task. If someone wants to spend more money then they realize or wants to be lag master champions, let them. Its not your money and they may or may not be dumb for doing it, just let it go, dont be a d!ck about it.

Im running a near stock motor with bolts ons and i am planning on going rom tune if "Nistune" Figures out how to complete and create daughterboard for the RB25DET ECU since nissan was great and decided to permanently burn the programming to the ECU unlike most any other nissan ECU.

SIL240, i just got your email because i havent checked it recently, if you havent already talked to Matt and signed up, ill see what i can do, but if you have good stuff.

When the time comes for another Turbo of even one slightly bigger i dont like the idea of running even 350hp on stock injectors and ECU because im a freak about not blowing motors and making things near perfecly tuned.

Oh ok its cool.He did say that the boards for the RB20 would be available this month. (march)So I'm waiting on that and trying to sell one of my many stock ECU's.I don't remember if I asked him about the forum or not, but I know I didn't try to sign up though. I can't wait to get it.Although I'm not going to do the initial tune, I went out and bought this book on how to tune EMS's. LOTS of really good info.

Oh no, the stock injectors can't go up to 350.Everything's stock right now, I just got her running a couple weeks ago.350-400 is my ultimate goal with minimal lag.I should be able to attain that goal fairly easily, I just don't really care about being a Dyno queen.

I do have one ECU thats chipped for 550's, Z32 MAF, RB25 turbo, 14psi, no limiters, raised rev limiter and I guess that's it. Got it soo long ago can't remember.

You've got a more powerful setup than most people here. You're asking the wrong crowd. I'd definetly go with a map based system rather than waiting for a daughterboard system to be introduced AND matured for the RB25.
