reading this wants me to put a 26 in, just bringing up the old thread. just wondering whats the cost of getting to engine in??

ALOT.

You need to be handy with a Tig welder and air hacksaw as well just to mod the sump. Then youll want to freshen up the motor, need a 25 gearbox, a decent clutch, custom tail shaft, new cooler piping, etc, etc, etc. Also if you cant do it yourself (or have good mates) the labour is going to kill you as well.

As i have mentioned a few times i have kept the rb20 gearbox and im not having any problems as of yet. You will need a much better clutch though. dunno about the custom tailshaft. i kept my gtst one. What also make sit expensive is you start to think "While im at it" then you start doin computer upgrade etc. etc. I put aside $7000 for the conversion but spent closer to $9000

If i had a re-do i would have used an rb25 and spent the extra cash on a better turbo

I went for a 34 gt-t box and hks twin plate. Being a bigger box the shaft had to be shortened. I also went for a pair of 2530s, and a powerfc, as well as afm upgrades, nismo injectors, etc. Total cost has blown well out now but :domokun:

Im making about 310 rwhp at the moment. stock turbos running 11 pound i think. Its gotta go for another tune yet though hopefully get some more out of it.

masters where you talking 300hp or 300kw?

Awesome. Should be a unique ride. Is it gonna be a sleeper or are you doing it up?

what ecu you gonna run?

It will be set up for track work .. Ordered PFC D jetro

Flash89 you can make a comfortable 300 on the stock GTR turbos. Id recomend you just get a RB25 if your on a budget.

DISTURBD you going big single?

No big single , after doing the Dutton with the 25neo 31 we decided we needed that little bit of xtra grunt so building whole new car for next yr

Dont need to do steering rack, im just fussy.

Dude, there is enuf info in this topic to write an essay on the conversion. Read up, get some serious cash together, and get on it.

If its too much, RB25's are cheap, put one of those in.

    • Waaay ahead of ya....(evil laugh!!) Will show the fitment and spec details later when it isnt as rainy !
    • Thanks Dose.....    I appreciate it!!
    • I'll probably be putting the shit box back on the dyno again soon, I want to dial in the closed loop boost control properly. I'll have a camera facing the car/motor for fun too. Just note, there are essentially 3x 10AN inlets going into the catch can and 1x going back to the intake pipe. Most of the time the catch can "return" to the sump actually is the crank case breather, pushing air out.
    • I have the R3C with a Nismo slave and by no means does it behave like a stocker, it ain’t THAT bad. On take off just give a bit more throttle than you would say a coppermix and it’s fine. It will not slip though.   
    • Okay. Final round of testing done. Got a friend to hook up a fancy scanner to the car and we also ran some compression and leakdown tests, she is healthy.  The MAF was definitely the culprit. So for future reference anyone with similar issues that find this thread. I suggest the following steps, in order of affordability:   Check your spark plugs for any fouling, replace plugs if they are bad or re adjust the gaps making it narrower (0.8mm would be good). Check every coil's resistance with a multimeter. It can be done by probing the IB and G pins on the coil pack. Resistance should be around 1.4 (+/- 0.1) Ohms Check the MAF. If you have Nissan connect or a good scanner with the 14 adapter it should allow you to see the voltage on the MAF reading should be around 1.1 - 1.2V when car is idling. But if you don't, buy a new MAF from Amazon and test, then return it. (For instance, I got a Chinese one for $40 that was reporting 1.3v on idle). If you still have scanner, you can run tests on the injectors to see if they are working, just remember to unplug the fuel pump fuse/relay and have no pressure on the line. Then listen for the noises that the injectors make. Clean/replace injectors as needed. Once you find the issue and fix, order thousands of dollars worth of OEM parts to refresh unrelated things (Optional)   PS: Thanks to the absolute legends of this forum for the responses and help to someone that went a bit over their head.
