Skyline R32 Gts

[HTMR32]

hi,

i have a skyline r32 gts, is it worth putting a turbo in it, let me know if you have done it,

and how it went, and what it cost you.

for the sake of money, headaches and originality just sell what you have and buy a GTS-t. otherwise save your money and drop a 30t in there.

Best to just buy a car already with the turbo I would assume, unless the car's already got a lot of work done to it.

You mean bolting a turbo onto the rb20de/rb25de right?

just return your car back to stock and then sell it...

theres too much to change to make it worth it

ok so im gona go against people opinions here... so im ready to cop some criticism.

i was thinking about this exact scenario a month ago and have a thread in the NA section

I have a non turbo r33 and now have decided to do the turbo conversion, being RB25DE+T.

Its fairly cheap to do if you can do the work yourself or a mate. I got all my parts and a FMIC kit for like $1200.

Work on the car should be started dis weekend and hopefully be all finished by next weekend. Will let you know if interested of the results and a dyno figure.

i think if you already have mods on your car that ur gona loose too much money on it then keep your car. And also you know that ur engine hasnt been thrashed as much as a turbo engine.

The only things that you need to change are brakes, you might want to upgrade to GTSt ones and maybe lower your compression. I know with my car, i would have to lower the compression once i get sick of High Comp, but High Comp is so much more fun.

Anyways good luck with your decision, because selling and buying a car is definetly time consuming and you will never get the price you want.

you'd actually be better off selling it as I reckon the demand for an N/A skyline is better than a turbo, esp amongst P platers who want to stay legal, yet still look like they own a proper sports car.

this is only an option if you (or a mate) knows EXACTLY what your doing and dont have to pay for any labour, otherwise forget about it as a viable option. High compression is a killer if you wind the boost up too much so search around the forums and see how much you can run with stock compression.

Im not too sure about the strength of the NA internals but they will also have a limit in the power they can make, which is most likely much less than the turbo ones. Im not too sure on the exact figures....

hey mate, yeh done a fair bit of research, and the fact that a guy of the forums who done his conversion on his car is doing it for me for a couple hundred bucks made me do it. Yeh i can run about 10 psi max on it on high compression, but a guy has run 12 PSI doing the same conversion. The Na internals are basically the same as the turbo one, thers a few things that make it high comp, but will most likely reduce the compression once i get the conversion finished and see how the car feels.

There is really no power limit, all you have to do is lower the compression. Im not out there looking at getting 300Rwkw so i should be fine.

Anyways hopefully it should be finished dis weekend. Fingers crossed nuthing goes wrong, as theres alwayus something that f**ks up that extends the time.

it might be worth it if u drop an rb25 in it
