Right now my car is a 89 r32 Gts.

Now my question is, what would i need in order to get a Turbo put in my car( "things that need to be added or changed in my car"). Cheers in advance :)

And money isn't a problem for me.

cbf buying a new car :) cuz just bought the car like a month ago :P

There is a bit of work involved, turbo, oil/water lines, cooler, manifold(s), ecu, tunning, exhaust etc..

If money isn't an issue just go to a local workshop in your state and see if they can help you out.

cbf?...lol why didnt you just buy a turbo then a month ago?

heres the two options that i see

A: you put your car up for sale, avoid all the headaches and still have a car to drive till it gets sold

B: put your new car off the road for a while, pump money into it, source all the parts needed and still end up with a car that wasnt really engineered as a turbo depending on how far you go.

was a learner a month ago =/

I would say putting a whole new RB20det would be easier than turboing the rb20de and if your gunna go that far may aswell put in a RB25 or 26. There is too much hastle trying to convert a non turbo to a turbo. Just sell your car and buy a turbo. Saves alot of headaches

If you love the car that much and money is not a issue then go right ahead.

(BUT we are here to suggest to you that there is other options to make you life a little easier I guess...)

OPTION 1

The things you will need to turbo your R32 GTS will depend on how much boost you want to run. Here is a quick overall rundown...

You might have to strengthen the internals for example forge pistons. Then I believe you will have to alter the compression ratio, re tune/ new ECU / Dyno and fine tune.

Modify you exhaust manifold / fit a turbo manifold to fit the turbo

Larger exhaust

High flow air intake

Install an intercooler, make room for piping

New fueling system, injectors and fuel pump might need upgrading

Use high quality spark plugs

Use a different type of engine oil, one that is suited for turbocharged car, to what you are using at the moment to suite your N/A car

The car goes quicker now, you had better stop quicker too = Upgrade braking system, atleast to high quality brake pads. Also if you want, upgrade to larger disks and calipers. R32 brakes were never up to race standard untill the V-Spec II with Brembos.

You would probley start taking corners a lot faster = Upgrade your suspension, lower the car, install a strut brace so it locks the suspension towers to its maximum stability point. Upgrade your wheels and upgrade the tyres.

To put all the power at the wheels you need to upgrade your clutch and again depending on the amount of boost you want to run, you need a stronger gearbox.

You can't just pull horse power out of the air, something has to give (Give and Take) One thing leads to another. No such thing as cheap horse power.

OPTION 2

Source a RB20DET OR if you want, a RB25DET (for that extra 500cc you gain a bit more torque) OR a RB26DETT for a whole new characteristic type of car, from a half cut and do the engine conversion.

Atleast the engine work is done, its just a matter of fitting everything in the right place. As for the RB25DET and RB26DETT, you might have to modify afew engine fittings / mounts in order for it to fit probly. Make sure everything is welded in probley.

OPTION 3

Trade in or sell you R32 GTS and buy a R32 GTS-T or GTR

dude"shakes head", your meant to ask these questions before you buy the car....

atleast take the club members advice, sell it and buy a gtst, you'll be better of financially later on with less trouble.

Pop your boot,make sure you got a flat surface,place desired turbo then close boot.

Your car now has a Turbo in it.

Good chance the cost of turboing your car will far exceed the amount you paid for your car.

and after all of that he'll still have those massive N/A brakes :woot:

Added to that...

It costs only $95 to see a hypnotherapist who can help you believe that the rear-end turbo is actually working !!

No offence to hypnotherapists - I help patients to stop smoking every day.

Cheers.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
