How are are the mods, need a new turbo for mates vl and there non up here, but have a offer on an rb25 turbo , do the lines etc all meet up okies, or is there alot of modify to get it to work properly?

i had to make a new oil feed line and i didnt run water with (dont need to) and then the dump pipe that comes with the rb25 turbo needs to be cut and turnd then welded back up thats it and they are awsome for the street off the line on full boost although you can boost em up to much Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

i think the flange for the dump is different one is 5 bolt the other is 6 pretty sure

yeh u use the rb25 dump just gotta cut it and face it down then weld it up again

okies so not that easy then, are there any other turbo's that are pretty straight forward bolt up, like off other cars?

RB25 turbo would be absolutely limited to around 10psi at the most. Ok if it was a stock application. And i would run the water lines. The cartridge is a ball bearing unit. It is a requirement to have water as there is far less oil in there compared to a bush bearing core. Hence there is less heat being removed due to the lesser amound of oil to the ball core Bush bearing you dont generally need water lines (if you have a really tight a$$hole) being there is a large oil flow to remove the heat

what about an series 4 rx7 turbo

no way stay clear of rotor turboz they suck on rb,z get another stocker Quote: Originally Posted by R31Nismoid RB25 turbo would be absolutely limited to around 10psi at the most.
