hey everyone, been a member here for a short time and havent really introduced myself, so id thought ill do it now,my names josh and i drive a gunmetal 1993 r32 rb20det manual,

recently had an accident (hit a pothole which spun me out cudnt gain control in time) ran up a gutter and smashed my passenger side into a tree :mad: the shell/chasis were pretty much beyond repairable,the whole running gear worked fine and still turned ova no worries so i had to source a new shell took me me a week to get my hands on 1, so this is where the rebuild starts....

14th of july: got a car trailer went and picked up my shell got it for $1100 from abc wreckers in oxley reason i got it cheap was because the guy didnt want the shell he wanted the motor out of it cuz he had plans of puttin it in a mitsubishi pajero :) i dropped the shell off at my girlfreinds uncles place (got a big workshop there) then went and picked up my car and brung it over as well. We first started taking out intercooler, radiator disconnecting lines anything that would get in the way of gettin the mottor out, we then disconnected the tail shaft from the diff then from the gearbox, unplugged most of the electrics, while me and a mate were working on all of this, my girlfreinds uncle was cutting the radiator support off the new shell (it was bent to the sh*thouse) and that summed up the first day

15th of july: started ripping off panels, seats, heaps of little bits and piece,disconnected my exhaust (not a single scratch on it from the accident :( and then dropped the motor and gearbox and front suspension out and wheeled the old shell back, another day over

21st of july: jacked the rear end of my old shell up, took out my fuel tank and hooked it up to my new shell, we then dropped my rear subframe out and assessed the damage (snapped tie rod, snapped upper controller arm, bent camber arm and split my diff :domokun: ) and called it a day

22nd of july: went to "all automotive import parts" at seventeen mile rocks TOP PEOPLE I HIGHLY RECCOMEND THEM ;) and picked up the parts i needed, except diff as i couldnt afford it atm and camber arms as im going to go aftermarket. went out to my car, and slapped on these parts, decided not to put the subframe up yet as it wud b alot easier to put the diff in. from there we fiddled around on bits and pieces and then fnished for that day

25th of july: few parts that i bought over the net were starting to arrive (camber arms and so on) so it was go ahead with the subframe, went down to all automotive picked up my diff went out to my car put the diff and camber arms on and bolted my subframe up!!

28th of july: got my radiator support off my old shell and welded it on to my new shell, fiddled around on a few other things, assesed damage on my front suspension and motor etc. (just needed a new fan shroud, castor rod, and lower controller arm) went down to all automotive again to pick up the LAST parts lol,

29th of july: started transferring things from my old engine bay into my new one (power steering resovoir and so on) hooked clutch pedal up (PAIN IN THE ASS!!!!!) replaced my lower controller arm, dragged my old shell out of the way, so we are ready to drop the new shell over my engine .......

SORRY I HAVENT TAKEN ANY PROGRESS PICS BUT I WILL START TOMORO

CHECK BACK FOR MORE UPDATES ON THE PROGRESS

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      The fab work can be as simple as a couple of silicon hoses and clamps to the factory piping.

      Just sounds like either way you need to do some fab work to get everything to fit, so why limit yourself at that point? If the GCG high flow option is zero effort in and out swap though I'd probably do that. It's almost certainly lowest risk, lowest cost, etc. The HKS GTIII-RS option that Kapr mentioned is laughably expensive for what it is, they charge the exact same for two turbos on the RB26 so their margins are off the charts on that thing.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.

      Thank you all for the replys 🙂 I know that intake would be different but that is one pipe at it is not that hard to get(custom one). I meant mainly bolt to the stock manifold and the turbo elbow. I looked and many sites/forums but they are just "old" with some old HKS turbos from GT-R i guess? What about some Garrets?  Or any other turbo? Is there even a turbo which i can just bolt on? 😄 And yeah i know about that new HKS but that is like 2000k USD without taxes/shipping in here   Iam getting a touch up tune but my "problem" is that on the "not" hot day iam getting peaks around 0,9 bar...and when it was around 15 Celsious i saw peak around 1 bar which is just too much for stock turbo. And of course turbo is old and i like to get some new one for a piece of mind 🙂

      I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
