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?

    • Ok i will get those 310mm. I found one but on a different site. This is the description on those...is it ok? Technical parameters: - Axle: front. - Disc type: ventilated. - Number of holes: 5. - Disc diameter: 310mm. - Total height with center: 54mm. - Thickness (new/min.): 30/28mm. - Designed for brake calipers manufacturer: Sumitomo.
    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
