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

    • 12+ months passed so they have no obligation to do a warranty claim. It leaked from the rear circuit. Front circuit was fine, but I tried many times to bench-bleed and in-car bleed (wasted 1L of Penrite racing brake fluid) to no avail. Threw my old BM50 or whatever the standard R32 GT-R BMC is, brakes went back to normal. So from my very limited anecdotal experience, I cannot recommend HFM, even though a lot of their products looks good. Just my experience (I have a genuine Nissan BM57 in a box waiting to be installed now).
    • How dare you sell your unreliable Skyline and buy a reliable, Toyota/Yamaha car with a strong gearbox, torsen LSD and Toyota reliability. At least you won't need to worry about oil pumps, big catch can, oil restrictors, blowing off power steering belts, sheering off 3rd gear, failing ABS relays/pumps, etc.
    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
