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.

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
