It's been done before, I'm sure. Have a search on here, I know at least one person has looked into it before. From memory the R34 6speed needs a custom length tailshaft made up, and there might be a bit more custom work.

Gearbox mounts will be different - prop shaft will need work - you will need the ECU AND internal wiring loom that plugs into ECU , and the under bonnet wiring loom from R34 GTR as there are pin differences ! , the ECU from 34GTR will not fit Stagea ECU plug , GTR is blue plug and Stagea grey - you will need a bigger fuel pump - AND YOU WILL NEED BETTER BRAKES !!! MY GTR BRAKES WITH PROJECTMU PADS ARE STILL NOT ENOUGH !!

Here in UK we have a V8 Stagea - a 2.8 HKS stroker and a stock gearboxed 500BHP RB25DET - + some Autec`s

Its all been done before XCEPT 6 speed as far as i know ...

Thank you very much!

Big project...A lot of work need to do, if put the GTR engine in stagea.

I though just change the engine and Gearbox + some more.

The 6 speed is easy, but why would you want to get rid of VCT? You need every bit of response you can get in these heavy wagons. The RB25neo is a better engine overall.

Did you mean Rb25neo change the 5 speed greabox to 6 speed??

RB owners will not be impressed with the fitting of a 26 in a stagea ! , as stated the NEO25 is a far superior engine when tuned - fitting twin turbo`s and a 6 speed gearbox is worth a silent nod !

a rear wheel drive stagea with over 250whp that can be driven in the wet and not crashed would also be impressive

    • It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
    • By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.
    • There is a guy who said he can weld me piping without having to cut chassis, maybe I do that ? Or do I just go reverse flow but isn’t reverse flow very limited once again? 
    • I haven’t yet cut the chassis, maybe I switch to a reverse flow. I’ve got the Intercooler mounted as I already had it but not cut yet. Might have to speak to an engineer 
    • Yes that’s another issue, I always have a front mount, plus will be turbo plus intake will big hasstle. I’ve been told if it looks stock they’re fine with it by a couple others who have done it ahahaha.    I know @Kinkstaah said the stock gtt airbox is limiting but I might just have to do that to avoid a defect so it atleast looks legit. Or an enclosed pod so it’s hidden away and feed air from the snorkel and below Intercooler holes like kinstaah mentioned. Hmm what to do
