Hey SAU,

Wasn't sure where I should post this, so I thought I'd post this here as I have a N/A.

Anyways, I just needed some thoughts on how to go about this.

Do you guys reckon it is possible to basically swap out from motor to diff? so in short from N/A AWD, to Turbo RWD.

I understand that most sensible people would just buy a GTT but the car has very strong sentimental meaning, so reselling is not an option unfortunately.

Thanks guys

i would use a turbo diff as that one i guess is built for n/a power plus sharing the load with a front diff. so it cant be very strong. you may need a different front cross member and hub assemblies to. just be extra weight to leave them. p.s. i was the same until someone offered cash and a lot. im glad i didnt do the conversion :)

You should either get a C34 Stagea RB25DET engine or turbo the current engine. I'm doing the turbo the current engine route.

Just follow the "How to turbo your N/a slow slug POS skyline" thread. It has a break down of all the parts and costs.

If you hunt around you can get all the parts for under $1000 and bolt it on ur self. You will need to get a tune as the N/a tune is not suited for turbo.

Posting here because of Google...

R34 GT4 coupe to turbo and keeping AWD.

How much does something like that cost? parts and labour

I love the r34 GTT but I hunger for AWD grip

Fell free to buy my GT4 :)

If it's so easy why isn't everyone doing it?

Because no one can be bothered unless they really want to & most R34 GT/-t s are RWD to start with.

There have been a few R33 GTS4s converted to AWD RB25DET using Stagea gear.

    • A few suggestions: Do you have the option of retarding your exhaust cam gear to bring the power band over to the left? VCT would be turned off after you make peak torque, you see the power/torque will decay faster with it left on all the way to the limiter Once VCT is turned off, you'll find the motor will take a bit more timing being ramped in Send its mum, more boost! Of course, depends on your exhaust pressure.

    • I was back on the dyno again yesterday after completely revamping my methanol injection system. I was making 440kw at 19psi. Great, this is more then I was making last summer with my old meth system at that pressure, and I figured it would be smooth sailing up to 30+psi. We continued increasing from there and by 25psi, I had only hit 455kw. Dyno sadly lost utility power at this point and I left. We seemed to be on course to hit the same power wall as last summer (477kw@27psi). This is a built RB25 S1 stroked to a 2.8. Built and ported head with Kelford 272/262 cams. Precision 6466 Turbo. Tuner last year believed the power wall is a mix of RPM limitations (Hydro lifters/Limit set at 7600RPM) and fueling. With my new meth system, we're seeing zero knock now but it still won't go up.  What else can I do at this point? Here's my train of thought.  - It's clear from the dyno graph that I would easily make power to 8500+RPM but I'm limited to 7600RPM. I could risk increasing my limiter, but hydro lifters have me worried. What are my options here besides going NEO head or solid lifter conversion? I'm rocking a 1.05AR turbine on my 6466. Would dropping down to a .84 help shift that power down in anyway? - We're only seeing roughly a 30kw difference at the top end with VCT on or off. Is this normal? I want to confirm VCT is working properly. - Should I look into other cam options?  - Should I just keep increasing boost and see if she wakes up later on? I would expect to hit 600rwkw around 35psi with my 6466.   
    • First thought is to use a ram mount (to hold the ipad) + windscreen suction mount. The arms on the ram mount can be as long as you like, should be able to position the ipad pretty well with that setup.
