chu_rulz- this is a mission, engine alone will set you back from $6500, then you need a rb25 gearbox to run it in rear wheel drive only about $2000/guesstament, drive shaft, diff $??, fuel pump $450, gtr fmic and custom piping $1500, a serious brake upgrade lets say $3-4000 custom job, new 3" exhaust dump pipe back $1500, good syspension may be tag on another $1000+ to the brake upgrade as these two may go hand in hand and don't forget unless your doing all this your self you'll be paying someone to do it for you$$$ lifes a bitch!

In the long run if you do it all right the first time you'll have one of the fastest cars, after just a ecu mod or swap, in the skyline family!

have you got the latest zoom with the r31 on the cover, if not i'll scan it and pm it to you as the r31 has done a rb26 swap!

Hey guys.... I tried to install a boost controller on my HR30 and i have run into a few problems.

today i was attempting to install my Turbosmart gated boost controller with my mate, and we didnt have much success. It has a triple hybrid turbo. the compressor is standard i think and the exhaust is from some comodore. the response was very out of wack and sometimes it wouldnt come on boost at all. basically it was behaving nothing like it should, and we were 100% sure of all installation points... any ideas??

we also after having no success with the first item, tried another model that my freind had awaiting employment in his car, and had the exact same result. we had not turned up the boost at all, and it was behaving very oddly.

any help PLEASE!

Also why is there a tee coming from the compressor housing and the outlet pipe and feeding the wastegate actuator? Isn't there normally only one coming from the outlet pipe and feeding the actuator?

do they both need to be connected or can i block one?

I really need some advise on this. Any help would be much appreciated. :D

there are things to remember when increasing boost, its all good to play around with boost levels, but if the ecu is set for X amount of boost then X amount is the best. don't get me wrong the l20et turbo is not runnig a ceramic shaft so boost can go, but if theres no fuel theres no fuel, did you take a boost reading to start with?

i'm not playing around with it yet though. i just hooked it up and was running it on standard boost so it should make no difference.

Ok,did you follow the guide you got with the boost gate as i bought one today/24/12/03 and have read the guide today and it states start from 0, there are things to cross out?

I got the car very resently and the car came with a boost controller and just that nothing else. i don't have them. is there anyway you could send them to me?

      Does RB25DE Neo lower intake work with RB25DET Neo Upper intake manifold?

      By R34_GT to Turbo · Posted

      Ok I get you. But isn’t the butterfly intake a headache with the +T?  see this is my plan so far but please advise me into the right direction.  Nistune Ecu, 1000cc Bosch injectors, TD05 or TD06 Kinugawa turbo using stock rb25det exhuast manifold, walbro fuel pump unsure of model I think it’s 450/460, spitfire coils and sparks to suit and a R35 MAF sensor and boost sensor.    I was thinking maybe do a cheap eBay plenum $400-500 or try find a stock det neo intake. I think I’d port match it so it’s getting the full capacity but open to advice please.  Thanks

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.

      The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
