I know there are many threads about 25gt turbo conversions etc

overall the conversion would seem like a fun project but in the end id probably prefer the performance i could get from modifying a stock 34gtt.

anyway my point is has anyone here with a gtt removed the turbo and components and raised the compression ratio?

im starting to think it might be getting a bit more popular because there are so many of those on their p's still and looking to drive a gtt but at the moment can only drive a non turbo.

if so how much would it cost to raise the compression ratio? and what else is involved.

All help appreciated, Brad.

ps. id hate to buy a 25gt now and sell it in 1.5 years time and have the cost depreciated and have to fork out more for the turbo car.

also id hate to go through selling my car that i would be attached to, for the same model car and worry about their differences etc...

Ive got a feeling that you will still get pulled up because as far as the police and government are concerned ur car is still a GTT, and im sure in their database it will come up as a turbo when they run ur plates. So id be looking into the legalities of it all before planning the build (or is it an un-build???)

Otherwise i think kids would be trying all kinds of crazy "stealth" remote mounted hidden turbo conversions on their cars.

But if im wrong, and it would be P legal and you want an interesting project go for it.

well i would go to the rta to find out. and get whatever papers i need.

also engineers slips once the UN-build is done..

and tbh its not the cops im that worried about. its the insurance companies ahaha if i crashed and they tried to not pay up.....

As far as main roads and cops go, if you have the better vehicle (V8 turbo or supercharged) and you reduce it back to the base model, as in V6, non-turbo or non-supercharged, they dont care.

The vehicle says its a turbo car, then thats that! Sorry.. It is, and always will be that class of car even if the parts are not there.

Insurance? hmm, I would not want to guess on that one, you are lowering its performance, but you are modifing it.

It will have the better brakes and suspension though...

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.

      I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
