Picking up my new. well not so new 1993 R33 GTS 5 speed manual Tomorrow

and then going to be picking up a mates R33 gtst Engine. to use all the bits and pieces of that for my build

Thinking of putting the RB25det Head on my rb25de this way till have the bigger injectors and what not for the Turbo. ill then be mounting the turbo(Undecided yet) up the back of the car located either behind the diff or somewhere else. i will research and think of a good place for it.

Ill then be designing the piping for the intake on the turbo. compressed air piping run up back to the engine bay into the bottom of the air box and ran into the manifold. making the engine bay appear normal. I will then run the oil feed and return liens down to the back of the engine. but on the return line i will have a Scavenger pump pumping oil to the sump to prevent back up in the turbo and keep it all flowing nicely.

Im going to be taking alot of pictures and getting ideas ready for this project to get underway within the next few weeks.


ECU wise. i need an opinion. im getting the r33 gtst ecu. would i be able to just simply swap that ecu instead of mine then be able to run stock boost.(ill be taking it to a tuner) would it be safe to run until i got it tuned or would it need a tune asap once ive got it all installed. as im goign to build all the mounts and piping over a few months. get it all ready then put it all together over one weekend.

FEEDback will eb much appreciated thanks

Please no hate i got the cash to do it and am on Ps for another 3 years so dont say its a stupid idea. and dont say the turbo will be laggy as f**k. ive researched this. before you judge do some research on the rear mounts. :)

​Il also post pictures of my skyline :)

Has to be a troll... Is it school holidays again lol?

It is a stupid idea and let me tell you why. Use your brain here buddy.

Even if police dont see it, if you crash your car ALL OF your insurance is void. Every last bit of it. Have fun paying for all the damage to the cars or people involved. If someone looses an arm, a leg or dies, youre going to be paying that off for life.

Just putting a 25det on a 25de block doesnt work that way...

Sounds like you have done no research and are just talking crap lol.

The only room for a rear mount would be at the rear muffler too, have fun hiding that. Remember these are low cars. Feeding another set of piping back for the return pipe will not be easy. It would have to be a high car.

The only reason anyone would want to do this is to hide it, but thats what P platers dont get. Even if you can hide it, all it takes is one crash or one half smart police officer to realise what you have done and boom youre over.

Save your money till you're older. Take it from me, I had all these wild ideas when I was younger too. In two weeks I get off my P's.

sounds like a cool build, just put the turbo on the roof, that way you'll get some awesome cold air and more power, will pull like a train!! im following this build man!!

can you imagine how loud the "dose" will be? fuarkkk

I see pigeons, pigeons eveywhere

Yeh Owen, 280kw at around 12psi I think, running United e85. Lag is non existent with the .82 rear GT35. Quite a different car to drive now. lol.

The carpet is back in the boot, engine bay is stock. Very stealth.

I'll just put this here... Works well. Stealth as faurk.

Dooeeet. :P

That's pretty faarking awsome..!!!.

Where the intake?

It would be very tempting to weld up a slip jointed closed exhaust tube to run from the engine pipe to the muffler- just to hide the pipe work going into the boot.

... how hot does the carpet get?

Love it!

Not much warmer in there than it was stock on a warm day, it gets good ventilation, I was going to cut more vents and perhaps get a small fan or two but there was no need. The carpet barely gets warm due to the heat shield I made, and all the wrapping/beanie.

The turbo doesn't get very hot anyway as it's 4M from the engine, even on the dyno...

That was what he wanted Owen, but I told him it is instant defect, and there is no way to get decent pipes through past the motor, unless you want to ditch aircon etc. A lot of thought and design work went into it before we decided on this setup, believe me.

Yep, I fitted a scavenge pump off the drain and fed the oil from the engine oil pressure switch. The only issue was, being a gt35, it needed two restrictors to lower the oil pressure, and stop blowing oil out the turbo seals.

The water was fed from the engine too, to the turbo and gate. The water lines needed to be large as otherwise not much water would flow. It was just easier than running dedicated rear mount water and oil setups with separate pumps and coolers. Looking back I probably should have gone with an oil cooled ceramic bearing Precision turbo.

    • 2001 BE5D Subaru Legacy B4 RSK (3rd gen) EJ208 (pink injector) Twin Turbo 280PS 5-speed manual Full time 4WD "RSK" grade which means all of the above LQC option which means stock rear spoiler  I got it primarily to export to someone outside Japan who was interested. These BE5 Legacy B4 RSKs are going through a bit of a resurgence right know in Japan as they are one of the few cars from the "turbo, manual, RWD/4WD, 280hp gentleman's agreement era" cars that don't require stupid money to purchase. Which for some people might be a good opportunity to get as a base for restoration. If I can't find anyone to purchase it I will certainly be doing that myself over the long term. Why? Because it's properly fast in stock form, handles well enough for a GT sedan, there's still enough aftermarket and (if you can wait a while) genuine part support to make it a restoration candidate (<-- that will only get worse over time so it's a case of do it now or choose get a BL5 4th Gen). Mechanically it's fine, has only 89,200kms on the odometer. The problem with this car is that the body and exterior trims are weathered from at least the last 10 years being parked outdoors. I'm the 3rd owner, the first owner was the one that had it for 14 years and barely drove it, had a low-speed front impact (which didn't damage anything behind the radiator support) and got it fixed and sold it. The 2nd owner put most of the kms on it and parked it outside for the last 10 years, hence the door rubbers have seen better days but if you overlook those cosmetic details, it presents pretty nicely. There is some minor rust on the LH rear wheel arch which I'll have looked at too at some stage.  Also as you'd expect from a car this age, the clear top coat is gone, leaving a satin finish on the roof.  Mechanically it's fine (as you would expect from a car with less than 100K kms) but the steering does feel slightly vague around the centre position at higher speeds. So first on the list is to get the steering rack bushes looked at. There's also the Lock button on the remote which doesn't work, but the Open button does.... it means that the anti-theft system thinks it's always open? It seems like if you open the car and don't start the engine within 3 mins or so the anti-theft kicks in again without any beeps or signals. So if you got to start it after that, it won't. You have to push the open button again. That's how I understand it anyway. Just a small irritation but not a big problem to sort out. There's only one mod, the Wangan SPL muffler. Just a tad louder than stock. It's a really good mod for those who don't want to wake the neighbours but still want to hear a more prominent unequal length header EJ20 sound. Anyway I hope to get all those things done eventually, that is unless someone wanted to import it to their country from Japan (where I live). I'm open for negotiations as I really would like a Skyline... but this will definitely suffice in the meantime 🙂 *Disclaimer: This is how I picked it up from the dealer, minus the stuff on the back seat. I haven't cleaned the engine bay or done a thorough exterior clean, aside from spray painting the wipers. 
    • Wow, even with the Audi logo centre caps. I love OEM wheel mismatches. 
    • Welcome!  Can't go wrong with a Stag.
    • Looks good. Nice height.
    • Hey all, a little help from the Stagea hive mind plz.. I'm days away from buying either a 2002 Stagea 250tRS AR-X Four, premium leather, power seats and all the old switches etc that go with it, or a 2002 Stagea 250tRS VR-X Four AERO, pov pack, cloth seats etc, with coil overs, sports zorst, comes with original zorst and suspension and parts. (I think I've got the models right?) Both are VQ25DET, have 160000kms, both straight no rust both with $2000+ in recent servicing receipts, both ride on aftermarket 18" rims. The Aero has a replaced turbo as well. I like the cool factor of the Aero car but the AR-X has never been modified. Neither have been driven hardly at all in the last 5 years. Any thoughts on which one or does it come down to personal preference? davemoto
