have you thought about going twin turbo, was talking to a mechanic who showed me his rb30/25 with twin turbo, he said it made 500hp, had rb25 ecu will be nice!

but you can do that with one turbo tyson Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

haha yeh just opted for the 1 dude, had enough trouble getting it in there as it is with 4" dump. 2 would have been a nightmare I'm not going to be making any "power claims" before the motor is dyno'd but i built it to run 10z so I'll be stoked if it does Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Cheers fellas!!! I'm really excited about it, can't wait to see how the power will come on! brakes have been upgraded, time will tell if it was enough tho!!! decided on an 80mm throttle body instead of the xf so had to ge the plenum modded to suit. got the leads custom made, just have to fill the gearbox up with oil, source an engine dipstick (somehow lost mine :S), put the plenum back on, source a 3" to 87mm(ish) silicon adaptor and i can turn the key Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

burgo: cheers for the offer dude but i actually need one for rb30, i'm assuming they are different. also a skid will prob cost me about $300 lol!! genki: cheers yeh she's close just ran out of time on sunday night. i will keep the cover on, imo it makes it look incomplete having 6 dirty 10mm leads tangled everywhere haha

thanks mate! fingers crossed she starts no drama's on a rb25 base map. as soon as it does i'll book it in to be tuned for a couple of weeks after, give me some time to neaten everything up and triple check it all, then the fun begins. it owes me LOL
