I have a PT6262 Billet .63 on my RB25 and it spools at about 4000RPM. Mind you my car isnt tuned and the manifold setup isnt the best. However i do see some very impressive dyno sheets with these turbos and Evo's can hit close to 750 WHP with these. I had an AMS GT32 on the car before and the differ...

Looks like an easy swap, The only place that you may also have to mod is the starter if the holes dont line up, you would just cut the loop off the KA block and us an RB starter because they actually bolt directly to the tranny. The other thing is that you dont have many choices for short shifters w...

The last time i took my Spec 6 puck out the actual pucks were crumbling too, that clutch didnt work for me at all and i only had about 260 whp and didnt even drift.

Competion Clutch for me, i ran a RB25 clutch and flywheel for a year and it was great. Now i have a RB25 and sti;; use the same clutch and flywheel and its still holding up awsome.


DONT BUY SPEC, those clutches suck i was never able to bark second or clutch kick it because it would just slip.

Yea they are pretty slow, 12 psi on a 2871R and i caught the guy after a horrible launch and passed him. They are great out of the hole till the weight of the AWD system catches up to them.

We didnt end up using the Power FC, couldnt really figure out why it would idle but not actually run so we just did a Enthaply tune. Plug and Play started up first try.

However we think that one of the Map sensors may have been screwed so we dont really know why it didnt actually run.

Gap down the plug to .22 and see if it still blows spark. The MSD box and coils are crap and a waste of money, i had them and it didnt help whatso ever, i was gonna try the Kenne Belle Boost a spark kit, i heard great things, but my KA blew up and im now in the RB25 game.

If you want to crank up the voltage on the stock coil, Kenne Bell Boost-a-pump is a good option since additional spark power is only needed under higher boost. Though manypeople in this power range are using standalone setup and igniter on plug setups, or LS1 coils etc. I beleive you mean boost a s...
