is ur NA turboed now ?
It's so close at the moment I can almost hear the ptshhh.

Just in the final stages of putting it in....everything else is sorted, just need to get the turbo put on, and the mod plate firmly affixed :)

Dan

nice man post up the results when its put in..are u gonna get it dyno'd too??

Yeah when the e-manage gets tuned after the turbo goes on it's getting done on the dyno, so full figures will be available.....

Plus I'll be more than happy to post a step-by-step upgrade thread with almost all the details and info needed for anyone else wanting to go ahead with it.

I'll try and include some more pics like the first one, showing stages :)

Looking forward to your write up - turbo'ing the RB25DE is an option I've been thinking about for a while now. I'd be very interested to hear how you went about it, any problems, unforseen difficulties etc.

Dan - BTW, I didn't check the part numbers for the injectors, will try and get down to Nissan again in the coming week. I'd imagine they'd be different to the R33's & R32's though (part number wise) but probably not in terms of flow rate...

Hmmm I'll edit this bit...because it seems I was wrong.

Took the car for a bit of a more spirited drive :) seem that the injectors are hitting 100% cycle duty at 5300 rpm.....seems strange that a car company would allow a vehicle to hit its upper limit before the redline?

AFM is sitting pretty at 4.00V

Well looks like I'll be in the market for some injectors...R34 GT-t stockies more than welcome :rofl:

After a bit more playing with the computer...seems that the second the AFM sends out 4.00V, duty cycle climbs dramatically. By reducing the AFM voltage by 7 - 10% over 3000-6500rpm, duty cycle only peaks out at 35% with no detontaion or performance decrease.

Yeah I'm keeping compression at 10:1, running 6Psi I've seen this running fine in cars overseas in more extreme heat than we have. Higher compression means faster spooling :)

yep, i'm only looking at running 6psi of boost. now what exact parts are required? if i can pick up some 2nd hand parts for cheap i'm going to do this. like i said, i don't want to make big power, just want some extra kick. we would need a R33 turbo ecu too right?

yea wat parts would we need to do the conversion

wat ecu would i use on my RB20 i heard that they are reprogrammable or would i be better off getting an RB20DET ecu?

I've got an E-manage in my car to take care of Air/Fuel, not sure on the GTS-t ECU, it may freak out as it's not receiving certain inputs from sensors the N/A wouldn't have.

You'll need the GTS-t injectors to stay safe (got some for sale with offers over $75:) )

GTS-t AFM

Hmmm stock intercooler and plumbing, makes life VERY simple.

Stock exhaust manifold and turbo + dump pipe.

Someone to do your engineering certificate and fit some water and oil lines to the turbo.

Off the top of my head that'll be fine.

I've had many different reports on power output 30-50% increase is very likely...if you use aftermarket parts, you can be looking at near 80% like another guy I know...not a bad figure for 0.5 Bar!

Dan

sounds great dan...can you roughly estimate the overall cost for this?

Parts including E-manage you should allow for $2000 maximum.

Compliance plate $110

2hrs of dyno tuning $??? depending on workshop

A days labour for the turbo fitting.....2 if some sort of nightmare crops up :D

But if you're fairly confident at doing most of the fiddly work...cutting out intercooler pipe holes, replacing injectors, fitting the intercooler, making sure everything fits in general. This will slash the effort for most workshops...and keep money in your pocket.

Most people will tell you just get a turbo model...but if you're like me and have grown attached to your current car it makes perfect sense.

Those of you wanting more than 7Psi, maybe try and source some forged pistons, lower the compression...then you'll be less limited in the boost you can run.

Getting the ECU tuned can have a dramatic effect though, squeezing out those extra Kw's while maintaining a very reliable low-boost setup.

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
