i have 2 r33 skylines an rb25de and an rb25det and i cant drive the turbo one for another 15 months if i dont get the turbo removed.. can i get a mechanic to do like a turbo/non turbo swap so my non turbo r33 will turn into a turbo and my turbo r33 will turn into a non turbo by swapping over the computers and the extractors and taking out the turbo/intercooler/piping/pod and putting it in my non turbo r33 and taking the k&n air filter i have and putting it in my turbo r33 and get both of the cars tuned??

i know there is another post about this but i also want to know if i need anything else? or will the parts from my stock r33 do fine? because the engines are the same..

simply swapping over the turbo etc and not the motors will result in the following:

NA motor with turbo attached will not run much boost before it starts to ping

turbo motor with turbo removed will in fact be slower then the NA was before it had the turbo attached

the originally turbo car will still be registered as a turbo

you will have wasted money for pretty much no reason

while the engines are both rb25's they aren't exactly the same. the turbo engine runs lower compression than the NA, which means 2 things. 1: the NA can't run as much boost as the turbo could, and 2: the turbo motor without a turbo attached will be noticably slower than a stock NA skyline. in fact you would probably get left at the lights by a grandma in her barina.

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
