Sell your non-turbo to some p-plater, and buy a turbo.

its cheaper

easier

better

Mate, Its no good putting a turbo kit on an N/A engine because it just wont work properly unless you pull the engine apart and put decompressed internals in it... Ive done non-turbo to turbo engine swaps in a few cars... I will be completely honest with you, its not worth it... Because you will have to have it engineered for it to be road legal and no engineer worth his ticket will engineer an R33 with a turbo motor when it has 4 stud hubs and non turbo brakes, you would need to change them too and they would be stupidly expensive, plus you would need the computer, wiring, and mabye even gearbox and an r33 gtst half cut (which should have all of that) will cost a minimum $5000.

Like the other guys have said - Sell it and just buy a GTsT :pirate:

there's a whole thread in the NA section about this - you're not the first to want to do it. To be frank, I think it can be done, but probably not the way you want to do it, and probably not with the results that you'd be after.

In every major way, it's a better idea to sell the NA and buy a Forced.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.

      Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.

      I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.

      Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
