If you go a 3788 you'll have even more headroom... but then again a 4202 would be future proof :P

well.. if that's the case might as well drop in a LSX and run 2x of those turbos :)

Done!

Thanks for all of the replies.

I see the Hypergear stuff is strongly suggested.

i'm looking at this: http://www.hypergearturbos.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=57

ATR43 400~600HP T3x Internally gated turbocharger

Would I need to send my turbo in to Hypergear or is this a whole new turbo? (can i part-exchange my turbo? Else I got no use for it)

It is almost direct bolt on.  You will need oil and water lines.  Tao can supply those with the turbo, or you can look at eBay....but easier for you getting them from Tao.  The dump should match Nissan pattern.  The inlet needs modification.  You can't use the skinny rubber Nissan shit.  You need to fab up a steel or alloy 4" inlet that will also accept the AFM and your BOV return, etc.

you dont need water or oil lines with the 43 and 45 atr's. it just makes it a little easier to install with them.

There is a bit of custom involved, as gts said. But nothing serious or hard. And depends how neat you want it... Get some more pipe, a 90deg bend and some random silicone joiners and you should find a nice combo.


Get BB If you want better spool. I'm all in at around 3500 with journal with the atr43g3sat.

 

Install process:
FYI: You need around 60mm studs, not 40mm. Also there are easier ways to do the install than shown below.

I'm holding off on the turbo for now. 

A buddy may be able to get me a NEO motor complete with turbos.

Would that just be a simple matter of removing the existing RB25DET and replacing it with the NEO? Is the wiring harness the same?

Luckily I wont be doing the work. Will send it to my buddy's shop but I will help so I can learn at the same time.

No, the wiring is not the same.  There are differences at various sensors.  The Neo has a boost sensor for the ECU that the vanilla 25 doesn't.  You need the R34 loom and the R34 ECU.

it will probably be easier for me to get an aftermarket ecu. 

these cars are rare in south africa. especially the r34

if i do find one however I will get it

Edited by Die$eL

ok so my buddy just called. 

He is able to get me a complete NEO motor with auto box, ecu and harness

would it then just be a matter of me replacing my engine, ecu and harness (not gearbox).

Is the ecu for the automatic cars "linked" to the gearbox in any way? Or would it just be a matter or fitting a resistor for the shift solenoid?

The R34 TCU is in the ECU.  And that's fine, because it doesn't matter - it will run a manual trans engine happily.  You're going manual right?  Because if you're not, punch yourself in the face and start again.

If you use the R34 ECU you WILL want to get Nistune installed in it, because you will want to kill the error codes caused by not having the right ABS and TCS systems installed in the car. And you WILL want to tune it.  All of which, happily, Nistune enables for you.

Assuming you go Nistune with the R34 auto ECU, which is the smartest option for what you want,  You can turn all the auto specific flags, so the ECU no longer looks for it, therefor you won't see any CEL codes.

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
