or buy yourself a rb25det half cut i did for my vl however i underestimated how much it would cost me and it ended up costing me close to 8-10gs

if you turbo a r31 skyline( stock rb30) you will need to rebuild whole motor no point just slapping on a decomp plate and turbo kit cause it wont hold much boost at all. if you want information on all of it go to calaisturbo.com.au they will tell you everything yopu need to know about the rb30

Like luvpsi said, there are 'cheap and easy' ways to go about it but they will definitely cost you the better part of 10 grand.

Get a manual one then buy a skyline halfcut and bolt it all in... is the easiest way to go by far. Even if its an RB20, it sounds like all you want is a turbo.

Be it myself, I would need a good reason to have a R31 to begin with lol... But then if it was what I wanted, I would buy the R33 or R34 half cut, then conjur up a RB2530DET hybrid by following instructions well documented on this site, then get a full exhaust, fmic, fuel pump, good injectors, good afm, tunable ecu and a 500ish HP turbo (id be willing to try an ATR43G3 on this budget project) and get it all together.

With epic torque I would saaayyy.... thats the better part of 15 grand though.

as all these guys have said, youll spend 10k doing it properly, maybe a few grand initially doing it on the cheap then when stuff breaks and you end up doing it properly it will all add up.

Just buy one already turbo'd it will be cheaper trust me, just ask anyone who has already done it. You need tyres, suspension, clutch, fuel pump, tuning etc, these are all the added extras on top of turboing the motor assuming it doesn't explode.

Firstly. f**k all the haters above...

Secondly. Easy

buy VL turbo aka 270cc hose tail injectors or any other similar type of hosetail injector.

Buy turbo manifold. Ebay used to be a good place but stock is low. Try for a 2nd hand stock cast iorn vl turbo manifold.

Buy a turbo. An rb25det turbo ia a good start for about 180rwkw

contact nistune for a custom remap. Around $100 exc postage

Custom oil+water lines are $100-150 on ebay

now. Either take the lot to a resonable performance garage and have them fit it and have the piping+dump pipe fabricated. This will cost around $1000

Or do it yourself and save around $700 labour but tou will need to pay for random pipe and joiners and also pay for the exaghust to be made.

I turboed an automatic TI r31 for around $1500 total using a KKR480 turbo $600 and mates rates on the dump pipe

    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks  
    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
