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.

    • The SS button head cap screw on the back? If so, good to know. I presumed it was there for basic assembly and nothing more. 
    • Hello, everyone. I'm new to the forum. I have a 1989 Nissan Skyline R32 GTR. I have lost all power to the interior, including AC controls, the gauge cluster, turn signals, and windows. Stuff that still works includes the horn, brake lights, radio, and headlights. All fuses, in the interior and exterior boxes, tested good.  It starts and runs fine, just with no gauge power or anything stated above. No warning lights either. Things that I have tested: - Fusable link tested fine - No other fuses blown - Alternator good - IGN switch tested fine - With my power probe, I can backfeed power through the IGN pin to the plug on the back of the gauge cluster, and everything comes back on.    So my theory is something on the control side that sends the ignition power through the system isn't doing its job, or a wire is broken. (I would think that it is the ignition switch that would do that, but who knows?). The ignition relays don't fire (all relays tested good). So what tells them to fire other than the IGN switch?  I would really appreciate it if someone had some insight on this. I have tons of hours into this; I don't want to give up in defeat! I have the HD wiring diagram, but having all those wires laid out like that on one sheet of paper makes things pretty hard to follow.  Thanks for reading, and thanks for the replies.  Where should I look next? Thanks.
    • Install a MAP sensor pre and post throttle. Best data you could have for NA, then play with the bends and/or air box and see how much of inflection is created at WOT on the plot.
