R34Gt Auto Converted To Turbo Manual Rb25Det Neo

[daineisdabomb]

hey guys i just converted my gfs r34 gt auto coupe to turbo manual using a rb25det neo engine and wiring loom, rb25det neo stagea ecu, r33 gearbox, r33 clutch pedal assy, r33 manual front part of the driveshaft (used the r34 gt rear part of the driveshaft where it bolts to diff) r33 lsd diff and axles, r33 gtst brakes.

all when in sweet and the turbo loom plugged straight up to the dash so everything works (exept the speedo) which i will sort out later. im pretty sure the abs wont work now thou as the abs unit has different plugs than the GT, but i could probably put a gtt ABS control unit in. the check engine light is on for the throttle motor sensor (traction control) as i dont hav traction control but the car drives fine and has full power etc. there is one plug that i had to re-wire which is the plug that bolted onto the side of the intake manifold in the centre between the runners which connects the engine loom to the alternator loom as this plug is for the knock sensors and a few other things but the colour of the wires is the same just a different plug and an extra wire on the turbo wiring harness side for the oil temp sender. oh and had to use the non turbo engine mounts and engine mount brackets, and had to change to a turbo engine throttle cable. all in all pretty easy to do.

Sound like a lot of Fudging around for the average joe who just wants his car to go shutututu,

you did what a lot of people with NA's want to do but lack the mechanical knowledge, time or

funds to bother when R34's and S15's can be had for under 15k these days. Otherwise

good effort.

I have done a Similar conversion to my R34, execpt I bought a whole written off R34. Took all the parts that I needed and sold off the parts that I didn't use as well as my old engine/box.

I didnt really keep track of the exact costs, but my whole conversion wouldn't have owed more than $2500 (Including new clutch, Timing belt kit, Brakepads and rotors)

I thought it was a much better option than selling up and buying a GTT as I already knew the condition of the car inside out.
