Currently I have a R34 gt-v 4 door, full kit, midnight purple spray job, soon wheels and suspension so visually i have all i need but being on my p's I'm restricted with mr.engine. So it's N/A with all the turbo parts(gtv)... now when im 21 i was looking into a rb26 but turns out it's far too costly MAYBE, but theres 2 other options... decompressing and turbo addition or a fresh turbo engine? I've looked through threads except they are so dated that replying would be worthless. What would you guys think as best based on experience or knowledge?

When you say all the turbo bits...

Does that include gearbox, diff, driveshaft, brakes and so on?

If not then you've still got a bit of coin to go.

If you do IMO just grab a RB25DET Neo, drop that in and start there. Cost wise you sell your motor, buy the NEO and it works out not too bad.

End of the day its still N/A build plate so you've gotta do engineers and so on (if your in vic)... And hence i would sell the car (if you dont have gbox/diff etc)

hey dude, I did the turbo conversion on my 33 using my current motor as I knew the history of it, and that I always maintain it. that was one reason for keeping my engine, and the second is that mine is a gts4, and was going to be a bit of a pain to swap sumps with the turbo engine, etc....

I didnt change diffs and gearboxs, the only thing i did do was brake upgrade and convert to 5 stud hubs because you cant fit the bigger turbo brakes on the na stuff-atleast for 33's.

you will probably also need: (im not sure what you have--do you have a standard turbo or aftermarket?

injectors...

fuel pump...

CLUTCH!!!---- mine went 4 hours after turboing my car with a standard turbo...

standard turbo ecu or possibly loom??

thats about all I can think of now.....

but yeh, so far diff has been fine, as well as gearbox, and now at 230rwkw and 400nm of torque..

The GT-V is essentially a full GTT chassis - including the uprated brakes, suspension, HICAS, LSD, strutt bars etc but without the turbo (RB25DE instead of the RB25DET) hence why the engine swap wont go down too badly... but there is still so much to think about, but just seeking ideas for now, am keen on a turbo yet i'm not sure how to go about it, hope other people can read this and add on to it :down: also decompressing and adding a turbo is an okay idea? truth is i got 120k on the clock and it may not be worth it...?

      The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow

      Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
