Hey guys and girls!

My boss lady has given me around $600 to spend on my 89' R32 GTS-T Skyline. I'm hoping to find a reliable bolt-on turbo upgrade within the budget? I'm running a blitz tuned computer, high flow exhaust, pod filter, front mount intercooler and adjustable boost controller, running the standard turbo and around 11psi boost. Can anyone suggest a good reliable turbo upgrade so I can get rid of the STD ceramic turbo and wind up the boost reliably?!?!?

Cheers

Adam

^^^ what he said. And $600 is a tad short. I have a HKS 2535 on my skyline I wish to sell. $900firm. With water and oil lines. And HKS elbow. Direct bolt on. Save up for another month and shoot me a pm. :)

Alas, yes, I thought I'd be pushing a steaming pile up a hill with a pointy stick...

I have spend hours sifting through threads on this great forum but sometimes it's easier to just ask the question directly (even if it has been asked since Adam & Eve were around)

What were you making with the 2535 and what supporting mods did you have? And rb20?

I'm also interested in this turbo in the not too distant future..

235 rwkw on 14psi.computer injectors zorst cooler fuel pump on a rb25. Will be pretty awesome on the rb20 as well but. Had the turbo 6 ish years 15,000km's on it. No chipped/bent fins. No shaft play. $900 pretty firm. With all lines and HKS elbow. Read the rb20 dyno results. Quite a few in there running a HKS 2535. :)

    • This sounds like a perfect excuse to install a Haltech R3.
    • I do believe from context he is talking about a S0/S1 R33 RB25 with associated ECU and Wiring for that, and a manual gearbox into a R34 N/A Auto. I don't have the knowledge of all the pinouts and such but my gut feeling from doing my own conversion is to use as much of the R33 stuff that you can. The "car" wiring is quite seperate from the "Engine" wiring when all things are considered. The only things to truly consider 99% of the time is the cluster, reverse lights and potentially disabling the 'not in P/N' immobilizer circuit.
    • A realistic expectattion of how long it has to last also comes down to.... when do you think you will be banned from registering and driving old petrol powered shitters? It's 27 years since that thing was built. It probably rusted out 15 years ago. It was probably repaired and looked OK for another 10. If you do a similarish bodge job now, or perhaps slightly better with some actual rust conversion and glassing, then.... get another 10-15 years out of it, after which you'll only be permitted by the CCP to drive electric cars manufactured in their Shenzen zone anyway. 
    • Let me assume that the concern over a manual ECU is that the NeoDET that you have was an auto and has an auto ECU. That ECU will not be a problem, but you WILL have to Nistune it. And you would have to Nistune it even if you had a manual ECU, because the turbo ECUs will shit the bed if they do not have all the things that they were told they have to have, to be happy. The big one being the TCS CU, which you won't have in your car. Anyway, with an auto ECU (which I have running my originally auto NeoDET in an R32) Nistune allows you to put in a Stagea image which doesn't panic about the absent TCS, and allows you to override a whle bunch of other annoyances that would otherwise see the check engine light on 100% of the time. Also, you can't wind up the power very far on the stock NeoDET ECUs without Nistune, because the boost sensor gets in the way. Nistune allows you to push that problem much further up the dial. Do you even have the boost sensor with the engine? Without it, you are SOL and will need an aftermarket ECU (or to find a sensor somewhere, god knows where). I can't tell you what the wiring loom differences are in a 34. But what Duncan said above needs to be considered. When you say "loom", does that include the transmission loom? Because you will need to swap out the auto tranny loom for the equivalent manual loom, and get rid of the neutral/park start interlock (basically hot wire it).
    • I have had the r3c in for years now, maybe close to 7 years and it has never missed a beat, anyone can drive it. Super easy to drive around town, the hotter it gets does get a little hard but it holds the power easy as
