So i have been collecting parts needed to do a turbo conversion on my r34 rb25de Neo for quite some time now and am keen to go ahead with the conversion.

I have:

-R33 turbo

-R33 turbo manifold + dump

-R33 SMIC + piping

-Braided water lines/banjos

-Braided oil line/banjo + oil retun

-Boost Tee, boost gauge.

I wanna know if i can run 5psi max with the stock rb25de Neo injectors, fuel pump and N/A ecu?

It seems every conversion i have seen has been done different, the setups i have seen so far are:

1) N/A injectors, N/A ecu, walbro fuel pump. Boost at 5psi

2) 370cc injectors, Gtt ecu, N/A fuel pump. Boost at 5psi

3) 370cc injectors, Emange blue ecu, walbro fuel pump.

So can i convert my rb25de Neo to a turbo using the N/A injectors and fuel pump if i dont go over 5psi?

Seems pointless to go to all that effort, only do half the job and limit yourself to 5 psi, even if it IS possible. Why not just throw the NA injectors and ECU in the bin where they belong, install turbo injectors and a TUNABLE ECU and run 10+ psi and enjoy life?

I'm not sure that the DE Neo head is a good candidate for +T but leaving that aside why didn't you get an R34 SMIC and turbo? I'm not even sure the R33 manifold will bolt to the Neo head but could be wrong.

Do you have an auto or manual?

If you have a manual I would suggest an R34 ECU with a Nistune chip.

If you have an auto sell the car and buy a GTT.

It looks as though you haven't read many of the DIY guides on +T

Do some more reading and Googling and you may decide to just buy a GTT

All turbo manifolds will fit no issue

Go turbo injectors turbo ecu with nisstune ecu get it tuned about 800 for chip n tune then u can run 10+ psi be supper responsive as the na neo is nice n hi comp also has hi smaller ports which will help heap down low build it n have fun with it

I understand that if i wanna run 10psi+ i need to change the injectors and ecu, but what about the fuel pump? Surely that needs to be changed also right?

I might go down that road later on but for now i just wanna know if i can run 5psi with n/a injectors, fuel pump and ecu?

I dont wanna sell and buy a gtt as i got my r34 for alot lower then the average market price and have grown attached to it.

Well if the n/a pump and injectors are fine for 5psi ill buy a piggyback ecu and get it tuned to stop it from leaning out, right?

we all grow attached to our cars :) but by buying a gtt you get better brakes, better engine, etc.

sell your gt for a profit and buy a clean unmodified gtt and be in front. It will cost more to get your gt turbocharged.

You will be very disappointed with only low boost with no room to move.

It's not only the engine.

The lower spec brakes

The RB 20 box (IIRC)

Inside the list goes on.

Cut losses, save and buy a better car.

Buy the best car you can afford and work from there. Don't buy the worst car and make it up!

I think the main problem with achieving 5psi is that the RB25 actuator is set to achieve ~7psi minimum?

At least run an adjustable FPR and give it a bit more juice....but ideally you should get it on a dyno asap to confirm the mixtures are happy.

No, it's actually a 5 psi wastegate and the boost control solenoid bleeds it up to 7.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
