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

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
