hi guys,

has anyone in here with a R34 non turbo chucked in a rb25det neo from a GTT into their car?

was it a direct plug in wire job?

im planning to just get the complete motor & ecu and whack it in (using the existing loom).

any tips? problems you came across etc?

cheers

Not that I've done the conversion but the wiring loom will be slightly different to cater for the sensors related to boost pressure. I know for one there is a boost pressure sensor mounted near the firewall that I doubt would be present on the non-turbo wiring loom. There are probably a few extra sensors that are present on the turbo loom as opposed to the non-turbo loom.

brakes, diff & wheels are sorted.

main concern is wiring in the hunka junk.

definatelly considering it nate, for $1500 for a neo det motor is less then half price & better in the long run.

only thing left to do after is det gearbox + tailshaft & im set.

if RB's are like any other nissan family engine swap (which ill be my left nut that they are) youll be fine using your old loom, maybe some things need minor mods, but they wouldnt be anything to go to town about, nissan would be crazy to make them very different (if at all)

yeah for the cost of a few wires you'd think they would make all the looms the same and just swap the ecu etc between NAs and Ts

My advice is not to use the standard ECU, it gets upset when it looks for the TCS/ABS controller, HICAS ECU, Boost sensor and a myriad of other minor ECU's scattered through the R34. A power FC or some other standalone would make it a lot easier to do as you won't have to trick as many inputs (as they don't use them)

As for the main sensors on the engine they're plug 'n' play from one engine to the other so you won't have to touch the loom at all :) Oh and take the butterfly valve out of the TCS throttle....2 scews hold the brass disc, easy to remove.

all good fellas,

thanks for the reply dan but i sticking with the NA+T

coming soon, keep an eye out for my build up thread :stupid:

Looking forward to seeing this :D Particularly with you using the Nistune, assuming that's what you're still going ahead with.

Im planning this aswell, except gonna be a bit more difficult for me as there are complications... anyway I got a gt-v, the turbo model r34 without the actual turbo, it has the brakes, diff etc but what about the gearbox? anyone know?

Didn't think you could use the Nistune on the N/A ECU...it's a pretty basic shitty thing with no upgrade ports on the board :S

hm good point, i told my tuner that im doing a na+t he said its suitable so maybe it is?

i dont want to keep hassling him with questions until its its done end of may so we'll see in 5-6 weeks :P

Who's tuning it?

May be a nice little surprise when they crack it open and see it's an R33 N/A type board :)

    • Yeah they charge a little extra for mods , last year I noted no mods but I did have an exhaust fitted after that so  better to let them know cause these kinds of things can cause the policy to be void if you ever need to claim.
    • Hello, just just bought an 1999 enr34 with a stock rb25neo and I'm looking to upgrade the engine to 500whp I know some basic things but wondering if there are things I'll need to do to upgrade the stock block and all the bits and pieces to achieve this.
    • Thanks everyone for the replies and suggestions. Got the seats out (hoping I could find some existing grommets but no such luck). By tapping and measuring etc. I could figure out where I could drill through if needed. But first I borrowed an inspection camera and managed to go through factory holes in the chassis rail and could see that the captive nut was holding steady which is why it could retighten. So it was indeed a stripped section of thread, so I applied downforce by levering the bolt head with a screwdriver and went slowly back and forth until it came out. Camera helped a lot cos I could monitor that the captive nut was holding tight. Now I just have one very seized main subframe nut to tackle 😅
    • BOVs do have a purpose, if you ever log pressure before and after the throttle body, you will see a spike pre throttle on lift off from a WOT condition. Enough to bend throttle blades / damage e-throttle motors or simple assist in blowing off cooler pipes. FWIW, the above on really applies to those running at least 2 bar of boost. OP shouldn't have an issue, on the other hand, here are some videos of my shit box over a decade ago with some succulent dose with the airbox on and off. That shit box is unrecognisable these days 🫠    
    • I've tried all different combinations of BOVs/ no BOV and stock bypass valves over the years, on gear changes the stock bypass valve seems to get the car back on boost quicker because in part the turbos wheel speed isn't being slowed down by reversion, although they have issues holding boost much over the stock setting. Most aftermarket BOVs you can adjust the spring, tighter will make it open later and close sooner, but in my experience it'll cause a bit of flutter at low load/rpm anyway. I've also got some input into this whole no bov causing turbo wear, never had an issue on any on my turbos HOWEVER, I got my R33 GTST with 200k kms on it, with from what I can see still has the original turbo, no lateral shaft play but has about 4-5mm of play in and out which to me seems like a worn thrust bearing from years (100-150k kms?) of turbo flutter running no bov, so maybe there is some truth to it in the long run. But that'll never stop me loving the Stutututu while I have the car.   OP just wants to know if he can run a atmo vented BOV with no major issues and the answer is YES, plenty of people do it, there's no harm in installing it and seeing how it runs before spending $$$ on an aftermarket ecu, last time I bought a Nistune it was $2400 for install and a tune , unsure of todays prices but you get me. Crazy money to spend just to fix the minor inconvenience of stalling that can be overcome by letting the revs come down to near idle before putting the clutch in or a little bit of throttle to avoid it. You're better off leaving the ecu and tune for after a bigger turbo/injectors have been installed to take full advantage of the tune and get your moneys worth.   Let OP have his Whoosh sound without trying to break his bank haha
