I have a r34 gtv . So pretty much a gtt with no turbo .

Since it has all the turbo goodies like lsd dif , gtt brakes, bc coil overs blah blah blah ...

But is it easier to drop a turbo rb25 into gtv than a standard 25gt?

I don't want time wasters just decent answers

Thanks guys

How much easier , like what exactly can I do. thanks btw

You can do exactly none of it. Based on the fact you are asking the question. Otherwise you would either currently be

1: doing it

2: being sensible and buying a turbo car.

For the record, I'm not doubting you, or bashing you. But swapping an engine is quite the undertaking, and the way you're asking would assume you're not confident and probably shouldn't be doing it

ANYWAY. You asked a question..

Buy a turbo motor, replace everything on it while it's on a stand, I'd suggest a rebuild it if you don't know the history / health because if some guy says "yeah mate was running sweet" it's probably blown up. which is exactly what happened to me, but i was rebuilding anyway... And then put it in the car

Easier said than done, but it's still not actually hard if you're mechanically minded and keen to take the car off the road for a while. In saying that, in your situation, the very fact you're asking questions like what you can do to do the swap would show it's probably not a good idea and you'd be biting off more than you can chew

QFT

Id sell it and get a GTT. GT-Vs have more value than the standard n/a and gtt r34s, so you could get decent cash for it and buy a gtt with money to spare. Best and most logical option in terms of finance. Ive seen a few gt-vs go for 15k, while the gtts sell for 11k.

Then again i also understand the car enthusiast aspect of it: considering its your first car, all them memories, being unable to part with it at times, having a fun project build to pass the time, etc.... End of the day its your pride and joy, so logic gets thrown out the window :P

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
