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.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)

      Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.

      Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
