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.

    • This sounds like a perfect excuse to install a Haltech R3.
    • I do believe from context he is talking about a S0/S1 R33 RB25 with associated ECU and Wiring for that, and a manual gearbox into a R34 N/A Auto. I don't have the knowledge of all the pinouts and such but my gut feeling from doing my own conversion is to use as much of the R33 stuff that you can. The "car" wiring is quite seperate from the "Engine" wiring when all things are considered. The only things to truly consider 99% of the time is the cluster, reverse lights and potentially disabling the 'not in P/N' immobilizer circuit.
    • A realistic expectattion of how long it has to last also comes down to.... when do you think you will be banned from registering and driving old petrol powered shitters? It's 27 years since that thing was built. It probably rusted out 15 years ago. It was probably repaired and looked OK for another 10. If you do a similarish bodge job now, or perhaps slightly better with some actual rust conversion and glassing, then.... get another 10-15 years out of it, after which you'll only be permitted by the CCP to drive electric cars manufactured in their Shenzen zone anyway. 
    • Let me assume that the concern over a manual ECU is that the NeoDET that you have was an auto and has an auto ECU. That ECU will not be a problem, but you WILL have to Nistune it. And you would have to Nistune it even if you had a manual ECU, because the turbo ECUs will shit the bed if they do not have all the things that they were told they have to have, to be happy. The big one being the TCS CU, which you won't have in your car. Anyway, with an auto ECU (which I have running my originally auto NeoDET in an R32) Nistune allows you to put in a Stagea image which doesn't panic about the absent TCS, and allows you to override a whle bunch of other annoyances that would otherwise see the check engine light on 100% of the time. Also, you can't wind up the power very far on the stock NeoDET ECUs without Nistune, because the boost sensor gets in the way. Nistune allows you to push that problem much further up the dial. Do you even have the boost sensor with the engine? Without it, you are SOL and will need an aftermarket ECU (or to find a sensor somewhere, god knows where). I can't tell you what the wiring loom differences are in a 34. But what Duncan said above needs to be considered. When you say "loom", does that include the transmission loom? Because you will need to swap out the auto tranny loom for the equivalent manual loom, and get rid of the neutral/park start interlock (basically hot wire it).
    • I have had the r3c in for years now, maybe close to 7 years and it has never missed a beat, anyone can drive it. Super easy to drive around town, the hotter it gets does get a little hard but it holds the power easy as
