my gf has a 34 coupe non turbo and im thinkin bout gettin some second hand parts to turbo it. just gonna run it on 5psi. Has anyone done it on here?? the plan is to source stock parts for as cheap as possible or some of them free (most of which u guys may just have lying around that u could donate to get them out of ur shed so u dont trip over them nemore ;) the parts im planning on using are

R33 turbo and manifold.

R34 stock exhaust system

R33 or 34 stock intercooler and piping

R34 AFM

R34 stock injectors

R33 or R34 ECU (1998 model) (im not sure if i can use a 33 ecu, does anyone know if it will plug in n work?

R34 oil/ water lines.

the car is a 98 model with tiptronic auto (separate transmission ecu) so im guessing im gonna need either a 98 r34 ecu coz the 99 model auto ecu has the transmission ecu inbuilt or a manual ecu. but my brother has a 33 so may see if his ecu will work?

also does anyone know whats involved with fitting the oil/water lines? is it pretty straight forward or do i need to tap into waterever water lines i can.

and where can i pickup the oil feed from? and do i need to drill into the block for the oil drain line?

if anyone has any of these parts lying around and wants to sell them to me or possibly give them away lol let me no.

Quite a few guys on here have done it... Get a total cost before you start buying parts to make sure it's worth doing, depending on the actual car it's probably quicker and easier to sell the GT and buy a GTT....

OP, I suggest you go and look in the Naturally Aspirated section. There is a thread in there called "How to Turbo Your NA" and it's full of priceless info on what's required, what to expect, results, etc. etc. It's your best source of info.

$$$ i have a de+T neo sitting here. The motor looks to be sold so i will be taking the turbo setup off it.

It has exactly what ur after, r33 turbo etc etc.

U will need an adjustable ecu of some sort, i recommend a NIStune

    • 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...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
