Yes you can do it.

There's a whole De +t thread in the na section.

The ports are tiny, the cams are small and the comp is high. And to do it legally it's not worth it

Over all don't do it.

This, don't do it.

Also saying you are getting the gear from a DET. do you mean a neo det or r33 det?

You also know that you will need a computer and tune for it to run properly.

The stock det computer is expecting a motor with, well, the det's characteristics. I.e. the compression ratio and cam durations etc. So it you run that it will probably end up grenading your DE+T

Did I say don't do it? :P

yeah i thought it might be the case and he was gonna get the turbo auto ecu ect and yeah

its an auto too?!

fk it. do it. One less auto in the world is a better place :whistling:

Joking. Seriously, don't do it.

If want turbo skyline. Sell non-turbo - buy turbo.

Win.

I drove a converted N/A to turbo, it was running around 7 psi boost with a Greddy E-Mange running the tuning side of things

It was ok - however it wasn't perfect. It was a 5 speed conversion too, using a RB20 gearbox.

Overall it drove ok, however the cost involved in the conversion the guy said he wouldn't do it again and would have bought a factory turbo car. I drove a factory turbo 34, but an auto - and this car ran a whole heap better

To his credit, he put the turbo brakes on, and it looked like a factory install, but it still had the N/A diff which let the whole thing down in my opinion. If dropping sick single peggers to inpress your mates is your thing - you'll love it

However, the N/A has P-plate appeal, so I'd be selling it and buying a turbo car to start with

    • You know how your car rolled through a fence in your last jacking escapade? Scissor jacks increase the likely hood of that sort of thing happening immensely!
    • http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.
    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
