Hi guys can you guys help me out. How much am i looking at to turbo a stock N/A 2.5 neo 25gt4

1. Can you guys list me down all the things ill need and how much they will be and also how much installation and tuning will cost

2. Does a turbo kit come with everything Ill need ? or will i have to shop around for each individual part ?

3. Is the N/A 2.5 neo the same as the turbo version in relations to how much boost they can handle before internals need upgrading?

I have around 10k to play with can you guys give me a rough idea of what kind of power I will be looking at after everything is finished?

I will be looking at a bigger turbo then a stock neo version would like to have around 250-300rwk if the stock internals can handle it.

I know I'll be looking at around roughly $2k - 2.5k for a ecu and tuning already so will $7.5k - 8k be enough to get everything all good to go ?

Thanks in Advance.

What you need.

1) a camera (phone will suffice)

2) a computer (phone will also suffice)

3) $50

4) post photos taken from phone or camera onto carsales via computer or phone

5) buy gtt/gtr by utilising phone or computer which has been previously acquired.

For $10k you should be able to buy an RB26 c/w gearbox and ecu (actually a half cut should get you the FMIC etc and if you are lucky the brakes as well.

Then you can update the brakes suspension and tyres.

I have a mate that bought one of these for a track toy, he put an RB26 in but reckons in hindsight he should've gone an RB25/30. You might be able to build a budget one for that around about that sort of money if you don't go for forged internals and all the fancy fruit.

Either that or get an RB25 out of a Stagea - wouldn't advise the 26 route though, too much stuffing about with wiring looms etc.

Neo from stagea. Expect headaches with tons of random shit.

You are asking all the right questions, which means you will come to the conclusion that it is a bad choice.

Walk away - get gtt for rwd with a fancy aftermarket traction control for grip, or go gtr.

Path less travelled for a reason.

I am currently putting a Stagea Neo rb25det into an R34 gt four sedan...

Mainly because I really want a sedan, as well as 4wd.

The guys are right, there are a lot of things that will need to be changed, which you just get included with a GTT or GTR. If you really want to do it you need to swap motors - the stock gt4 Neo motor internals are not up to the task, you need a factory turbo motor.

The only scenario where it MAY be worth it, is as above, you wanted a 4 door 34 (for the shape?), cause R34 GTR is very pricey.

But the smarts is go sailing with a R33 GTR if you can, its just seriously the better option for reasons you don't know until you're like "oh shit why did I f**king do this holy f**k"

There's a lot of debate on these forums about how to approach a lot of different things

When EVERYONE says "sell the car and buy the proper platform" then yeah they're doing it for a reason

    • Oh, also, forgot to add these photos I believe.
    • Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !
    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
