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 :)

Dan

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 just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
