How on earth did you manage to write that out twice :blink:

Yeah I have never heard of them either. I really don't understand why people go towards random unheard of turbochargers when the ones that are proven time and time again at the end of the day aren't that much dearer. Given that 9/10 times a "cheap" budget turbocharger doesn't fit properly and requires a custom dump pipe or spacer plate or custom made oil and water lines, usually ends up being just as much as a bolt on Garret or Hypergear kit. Not to mention than you don't get the power you want and end up selling it 6 months later.

I just did a google on the PCPA turbochargers. PCPA is the name of the website (maybe shop aswell, didn't really look into it that much) that sells them. Not the brand of the turbochargers themselves.

So the turbochargers appear to be just a typical no name brand ebay spec turbo like the rest of them.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      Definitely do-able haha. I will give it a try if the fuel pump hanger does not solve the issue. Just need to find some quiet time in the area, Malta is like a big city and I live right next to the main hospital so it is very busy during the day. I'll be installing it in about 2 weeks, found a garage that is pretty knowledgeable and has the necessary tools. This garage has worked on multiple builds, even for competitions. They even asked me to stay with, so I should be fine.

      Just to add, I found the r32 gtr ecu the most forgiving, the r33 one would get the shits.

      For what it’s worth I drove my gtr for over a decade with gt-ss as a true daily after I pulled off the -5s, I had it engineered and went with stock ecu etc.  never skipped a beat.    I would only worry if you can’t get good fuel all the time in a tropical paradise

      Engine model

      By Bwagz · Posted

      I bought an engine from a friend of a friend many years ago, it was sold to me as a RB25det Neo.    recently I started pulling it apart and noticed that the intake manifold was pretty different from others that I had seen on RB engines so did a bit of research and found that it was a non turbo manifold. So I’m sceptical now that it is a NEO DET and just thinking it’s a NEO DE (it does have a turbo strapped to it currently).    can you identify the engine model from the numbers on the block?

      Yeah you can. Cable tie the gauge to a windscreen wiper, or run it into the car and hold it with one hand, or have the neighbour's kid run alongside and tell you what it says.
