Power House ER34...

[Guest neoGT-25]

hey all, i am thinking of a mod list for my car when its time to turbo it...

I would like to use my engine that i have now because it has less K's than an older RB25DET... :S

ok heres what i am thinking about (please tell me what you think and make comments or sugestions or whatever, most of what i say wont make sense scince im pretty car dumb)

Keep in mind i dont really want a drag car... just a VERY tough track/street/drift car :S if that made sense? bah... heres the list

some form of a high torque TRUST turbo...?

TRUST Wastegate & manifold?

TRUST FMIC of some form (ive heard they are better than most intercoolers?)

A'PEXi POWER FC

full A'PEXi N1 exhaust system

A'PEXi RSM

TEIN adjustable suspension?

Brembo break kit?

internals obviesly (what things should i change?)

what sort of clutch would i need?

what other stuff would i need and what sort of pricing am i looking at for these components?

any help is appreciated

byes :burnout:

oh and also... cant belive i forgot this... what sort of power would i make?

If you're going to convert the car to turbo with the current engine, you might want to look at the strength of the current internals of the engine and how the extra boost will affect them.

[Guest neoGT-25]

would i need to change them? (the internals)

[Birty]

i don't know much about the late model rb25's, but one would think so. Got to look at compression ratios and how the boost will affect it i guess, might be easier to put a new engine, or even easier to look for a new car.

NOOOOOOOOO i love my car... and my engine dosent have many K's on it... other cars can handle turbo so why couldent mine? like theres civics, mirages, 323's, lancers that have been turbod... why wouldent mine handle a turbo?

[Guest neoGT-25]

some things go BUMP in the night...

[chaos]

ok ur 16 and u want to put turbo in ur car

u realise the insurance would go sky high

[BelGarion]

consider looking for an equivilant "neo" rb25det from an r34 skyline...... could save you some heartache and woe in the end, even tho it may cost a bit more

The internals, are not stock on those.

[BelGarion]

nismo_boy is right, and the money ud spend on upgrading the internals on your current engine is better spent on a straight swap from a gt-t r34. afaik the turbo engine has more cooling paths in and around the cylinders and block so its going to last longer and if the stock neo rb25det doesnt sate your need for power you can always put stronger internals into it and run even more power than you ever could through your rb25de with a turbo strapped on the side for good measure

chaos= i dont want turbo yet... i said later on

[Gester]

Just get your license first and enjoy driving it. A NA skyline still rawks so enjoy it. Then after a couple of years turbo it and you'll enjoy it and appreciate it more

[chaos]

if its later one why u worrying bout it so much now?

better to wait insurance will still be high

[Squizz]

So who here has made their non-turbo a turbo with stock internals? Oh wait that's me! YES it can be done, yes you can make your car haul ass, BUT you have to know your limits and accept them...

For those who are interested my old n/a - turbo 32 is still kicking around Rocky, buggers me how it's still going but it is...

[Guest neoGT-25]

hey people... if you noticed... at the top of my first thread i said not now but when im ready for it "i am thinking of a mod list for my car when its time to turbo it... " LOL, no one listens... i dunno wanna swap my engine i just wanna change my internals

and i want a high torque turbo... what sre some high torque turbos? trust ones?

meh, byes all

[crooser]

when the time comes, buy a neo 25det and 5spd gearbox incl standard ecu. you can extract more power more easily.

and most likely cheaper.

I was lucky enough to get the conversion parts cheap enough so

i turboed my 25de and its still goin fine - although my clutch is giving up the gig after 60,000kms of extra torque it was never meant to see.

[rb26dett]

to get serious turbo action from that car u'd have to look at lowering the compression in your engine to see serious boost levels, which would mean pistons and gasket. get nismo ones. and then to optimise ur turbo, i'm thinking hks 2830, which is one big turbo, u'd need camshafts, get hks ones, which would mean u'd have to change ur valve springs and retainers, possibly valves as well becos ur ones wouldn't be made to flow turbos.

and then u'd have to change ur exhaust system completely to accomodate the turbo. don't forget cam gears.

u'd need a good front mount to cool down the air too, hks or nismo items do the job well, as will trust items.

don't forget u'd need an improved fuel delivery system as well. injectors, fuel pump better fuel rail and the works.

by then u'd want a serious management system to maximise fuel efficiency, so u'd be looking at probably power fc or motec.

and to put that power down properly, u'd want serious wheels like volks 18 inch rims and good tyres.

of course u'd wanna stop, which would mean brakes upgrade.

and u'd probably need a new twin plate clutch to handle that power, not to mention ur driveshaft, which isn't made to handle the projected 600bhp.

u'll probably be looking at over 70 grand worth of parts, which doesn't include labour.

so my advice would be to take that 80 grand or so and buy a gtr.

hmmmmmmz... nah... bit too much then rb26dett, hehehe

i want a T3/T4
