How to turbo your N/A

[andylaurel]

1st i gotta fix the headgasket

0.8 bar and 10:1 comp doesnt mix...

shouldve got that R33 actuator sooner.

[juddieR31]

Im gonna run 10, thats my absolute limit. Im running 6.5 atm, car spools nicely. Its weird having it on boost at around 2200rpm, then thinking, gee this is pulling hard, then that weird ass top end power comes on and your off twice as hard. Great fun

Yeah I had the same with my car, it was bizzare...the top-end was impressive

[andylaurel]

dont worry about me

the previous owner had installed the thermofans incorrectly.

blades need to be flipped over.

still searching for R33 wastegate actuator

swap ya a r33 one for ya r32 one

[andylaurel]

done

you in qld?

its easier just to sell ur n/a and buy a turbo one

probably cheaper

skylines are cheap now

[andylaurel]

nah my skyline was turbo

then i put an NA motor in, with a turbo.

only weak people who like the easy way out of things would go this way & its definately not cheaper to put in a DET engine.

nothing to do with being weak, just saves time and $

If anyone is after parts for the conversion I have decided against doing a conversion and have turbo + actuator + elbow + manifold for sale refer http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...howtopic=152530

cheers

[juddieR31]

For anyone interested in doing this conversion, I made 210rwkw and 475nm on Dr drifts dyno today @ 9psi with stock injectors, stock ecu & stock R31 fuel pump, cooler and high flow t3/4

Sweet power there!

666Dan, how much boost was the turbo making from off idle?

I've worked on a few RB25DE's which have had RB20 turbos fitted to them and they were practically making boost when idling. Massive torque down low but runs out of top end very quick... One of those cars now runs a fairly insane turbo/setup (still high C/R for response), makes about 300 rwkw or so, that was done nearly two years ago and its still going, really needs good tuning to keep them together....

hey man, i wanna turbo my r33 rb25de what computer do i run, some ppl say rb20det and some say rb25det, some say the rb20det wont work with the vvt etc and the rb25det is too hard to tune, im confused i can get all rb20det parts real cheap but dont wanna do it unles i know what ecu will plug in and work, can i get away with just a std turbo ecu and tuning and no link or safc etc as im on a tight budget, only want to run stock std boost...

cheers guys

[unarmed_skyline]

my sugestion is if your on a tight budget then wait until you got the money to do it properly, you never know what might go wrong and end up costing you shit loads to rectify, as for ecu, i would not sugest any standard ecu as it will not be safe to drive, possibly a standard TURBO ecu with a piggy back, but aftermarket is always best, as for r32 ecu it will work but i think something has to be done to it to make it work ie some pins have to change or somethingh and it will need to be re-mapped and you will need an aftermarket cam controller, dr. drift suply and fit r32 re-mapped ecu's with cam controler for around the $1300 including dyno time, or you could spend the extra 500ish for an aftermarket unit tuned,

[juddieR31]

Mine has stock 25det ecu, all the AFR's on the dyno were perfect. Should be fine for low boost applications

[666DAN]

As these guys have said, if you're not after full tunability, the stock ECU is fine..generaly the tune on it is quite well suited to the higher compression. Stick and SAFC/emanage on it if you want to adjust a bit more.

I have just finished my turbo conversion in the uk and made 310 bhp and 275 lb/ft torque at 9psi would highly recomend this conversion to any one . Thanks for the idear and info 666DAN with out this forum and your info i would still be driving a 200ish bhp A/N and wanting more power . So thanks again i have added a pic of what she look like .

hey mate wat mods do u have in ur car to make that sorta power?

Hi mate i have a 100mm front mount intercooler and hard pipe kit , GReady E01 with Emanage , FSE fuel pressure reg and fuel pump , Gready turbo elbow down pipe cat pipe and 2" N/A nismo exhaust , Apexi oil cooler , HKS and Green induction kit with cold air feed , engine circle earth with voltage stabeliser , uprated blow off valve with about 4 hours on the dyno and in the process of fitting 25 shot of nos and intercooler sprayer which should give about 40bhp on top of the 310
