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

    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋
