hi guys im just wondering about how i would go about doing an engine transplant putting a GT-t engine in my NA r34 25gt.

i know buying a gt-t is a better option financially but i want to have an engine so i can work on it and then when im off my p's bang that monster in :P.

ok so my skyline already has the turbo brakes.

i should be able to get a GT-t loom ecu turbo for around 2k-2.5k

what else needs to be changed?

im also awear that the drivetrain will need changing but ill change that when it brakes. plus i think they're only 150 -200 from a GT-t wreck anyway :D

All answers would be helpfull.

Ps. i managed to get my NA coupe for around 8k with 116,000 kms (guy was going bankrupt) :P

you might want to add a 0 to the end of the price for a 'drivetrain' from a GT-t wreck, unless you are simply talking about the diff and not the gearbox. generally the gearbox sells for more than the actual engine.

as for what you need, look in the how to turbo a skyline thread. it has been covered many times. whether the engine is a neo or not is a minor detail. all the procedures are the same between a neo and a non neo.

Don't Gtt and gt have same trans

No, I'm 98% certain the one used in the N/A R34 is an RB20DET gearbox. The RB20DET gearbox can take no more than 220rwkW, so if you want more power then that, I would budget for a GT-T gearbox.

I'm pretty sure you can just use the N/A R34 gearbox depending on your power needs. Someone can correct me if i'm wrong.

Stock (factory) component comparison.

GTt > GTv > GT

2 varients of GTt and GT:

GTt and GTt-x

GT and GT-x

The difference between the "x" and non "x" models are strictly trim level with "minor" mecanical option. ie premium sound, privacy glass, front strut brace, rear wing, optional LSD for GT-x (handling pack)

RB25de NEO = GTv, GT

RB25det NEO = GTt

Regular brakes (Tokico aka hitachi automotive calipers) = GT

Big brakes (Sumitomo caliper) = GTt, GTv

HICAS = GTt, GTv

LSD = GTt, GTv, factory optional on GT-x variant.

4 speed tiptroninc automatic = GTv, GT

4 speed tiptroninc automatic (internally strengthened) = GTt

5 speed manual = GTv, GT

5 speed manual (internally strengthened) = GTt

note*

GTt, GTv: they both have the same rear suspension setup.

GT: Has the same suspension setup as an R33GTSt

is it an auto? trans cooler won't do much to strengthen the box (and won't do shit on a manual, don't think you can even fit one) as it comes down the the strength of the internals and generally not the heat. heat is usually more of an issue with constant acceleration/power, such as towing or drag racing where they load the gearbox up before launching, but even then it's marginal.

not too sure on shift kits, but i have a feeling that they may actually cause you to break something sooner. they put more stress on the gearbox. i could be wrong though.

hmm people say they actually reduce stress on the trans i know it sounds weird due to quick shifting one would think its kinda jamming the gears into place will it cost much to make the trans be able to withstand a turbo?

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
