Got my quote today from AVO which was OMFG. guess i'll have to do some bits myself to keep the cost down. just wondering will i be able to put a set of GTT injectors in without changing ecu, is it just a plug and play job? and same goes to the fuel pump,? Also do i have to change the afm to a gtt one or are they the same. as no one mentioned anything about the afm so i assume they dont need to be changed?

dude, this is going to go pear shaped.

yeah i think it is best to simply sell your car and buy one already turbo'd. you will come out a few thousand dollars better off. NA skylines sell for about the same as a turbo version, so you aren't really going to lose money on the car.

now i know that before you said you didn't want to do it for personal reasons, but unless you have a compulsion so spend money that you don't need to do, then buying the factory turbo car is going to be the best and cheapest idea. hell with the money you save you could pay to have the car resprayed the same colour as your current car.

Ive only read the first post, this one in the quote and BezerkR32's and he couldn't have said it better.

I can tell this because you can't just drop in turbo injectors, among other things, they spray more then what your ecu understands for an n/a engine, how will the ecu cope?

You need to get any second hand set of injectors spray and flow tested to make sure they are spraying consistently, you need an ecu that can properly control how much fuel to spray vs air and rpms.....

You need a new afm because your n/a one wont be able to read how much air the car is sucking in... etc. etc.... get my drift?

If you don't have the money to do it properly, either wait, or sell the car and get a turbo.

Things that you can do yourself if your a little bit handy to keep the costs down:

-Locate all the parts for them so they don't have to stuff around

-Install a side or FMIC and piping

-Install a boost gauge?

Alternatively, you could do more of the labor at home WITHOUT turning the key and then get a tilt tray to take it to the tuners to do the tuning there. I have done this numerous times before and its saved me thousands over the years.

WYTSKY, i see you have used Power FC for your NA+T conversion, did you had any trouble with the VCT using Power FC? And which workshop did you use?

Its fine to see you read my sig, but did you read my previous post carefully? VCT and powerfc's should be the last concern of yours at this point.

To answer you question, I honestly don't think so, as I said, I do 80-90% of the mechanic work myself and let my tuner do the fiddly tuning and he hasent ever said there are any issues.

    • Yep that's pretty much what I want to see. Racecars that look and sound like the Group A but with newer tech underneath to make them faster and safer. I'm sure there's enough VK-to-VN commodore, E30 BMWs and Foxbody mustangs shells around to make up a decent number of cars with hopefully a couple of sierras, rx7 and R31s in there too. 
    • Contact Jessestreeter.com/Skevas Racing/JustJap for a new r34 rb gearbox or go a cd00# conversion. No point playing with unknown condition gearboxes.
    • Such a shame places like Amaroo Park have been redeveloped, smaller tracks always make for good racing. Cheers for sharing @PranK there's some good Lakeside video's too. Its so hard with older the cars as parts are so rare and everything was made for a particular chassis at that point in time. Even the V8 Supercar Blueprint era cars are all different between each chassis within a team as they learnt things and made improvements. The COTF cars between each Chassis builder is different too especially motor/oil systems/intakes. The Group A stuff is worth so much too especially chassis with good history. The only way to do it would be composite panels and similar engine drivelines to the original cars. Ford sierra running Focus RS driveline, Commodore running a short stroke LS/LT or a Falcon with coyote and a H Pattern dog box. Could use a standard ecu across all models with a Torque Map and DBW for parity which is not even used in Supercars currently. Hell a TCM is almost a full chassis car these days and the suspension is not even close to standard style in the front running cars.  
    • Dashcams Australia (13/05/25) captured JDMHSE (Vic plate) being a right tosser. 
    • Wish someone would start a racing series for Group A replica cars, a bit like Touring Car Masters but for 1985 onwards and not grandpa's falcon and/or Monaro. I know they race in some historic class but that's for original cars, no replicas allowed.
