hi everyone,

i need help with an engine conversion, i am tryin to gather parts, can someone tell me if i am on the right track and if i am missing parts.

Atm i got a non turbo so i am buyin a

RB25DET head and fittin it onto the non turbo bottom, apparantly they have same bottom.

Exhaust mainifold

*Inlet mainifold im not sure if i need it, i was told i did

Intercooler

ECU

Wiring loom

thanx heaps

hate to jump on the bandwagon - but considering there is only about 3-5k difference on a turbo, and non-turbo r33, just sell the car..buy turbo version. It will cost more than $3-5k to convert it, and nobody will want to buy it afterwards.

Your car can be "converted" in a couple of short weeks!

his right its like changing a bettle into a porsche, its still a bettle, when you would rather have the porsche

alot comes with it engine changes i was going to do this to my old r31, but i looked up prices think about it

engine

brakes

lots of custom work

FMIC

boost controllers (if you want more power and ya do)

my mate bought my old r31 including buying it and changing everything over cost him 15-16k took him a year to get the car running right then he rolled it lost 16k outrught was never insured

the money i got from old car i pick up an r33 gts-t for 17k and i was driving it two weeks after i sold my old car and the old r31 could never handle like an r33

what im saying is buy something that is built to do what u want, its cheaper and usually more reliable

    • Some of the filler.   Also if I look under the top flap of metal it starts looking good quite close to the edge. I get the feeling it doesn't go much further.
    • So, I finally started digging at the bit of my roof that was cracking and bulging a bit. Well, it was just thick filler that was covering some pretty bad rust. I didn't find the edges, I was too bummed to keep going.  There are a few holes as you can see. There was just so much filler but looks like no attempt under the filler to prime or use rust converter, just slapped filler on exposed rust.  Anyway, I'm going to take the windshield out and find the edges. I'd love to fix this myself as I'm pretty sure it'll be expensive to get done properly. I was thinking I could just get a cut piece from another E39 and just weld it in place as it would be the right size and shape.  Thoughts?
    • This is the territory of the "Stage 1/2/3 Golf GTI/R" or otherwise off the shelf tune with (relative to before) minor mods. It's easier now. Downpipe and Tune and boom, big increases. Stage 1 OEM+ is where it's at. This is where the niche evolved into and it's really easy to see why. It's rare to even NEED to consider changing turbos or going to aftermarket ECU's or building bottom ends for more power. Stage 1-2-3 will get you a LONG WAY. Civic Type R turbo GR Yaris/Corolla Anything with B58 (MKV Supra/x40i) Anything BMW in General Anything Audi in General Any turbo AMG RenaultSport Turbo offerings Korean Elantra N/I30N Ecoboost Mustangs Focus RS? List goes on. I would argue in the future it won't even need to go on... M3P is pretty rapid out of the box...
    • There is a way, but it's not with the same cars. You need to find the same vintage of car, that we had. Realistically, that was an affordable car with aftermarket parts around. So what people need to find is a car that had a decent base in its day, and can be modified. They're looking for a car year make of 2010 to 2015 really... Aus could have done it if Holden didn't fold as V8 commodores were cheap, and if Ford didn't get expensive thanks to COVID, then you could cheaply play with FG Barras. Realistically, those are just a bit heavier, four door skylines. I'm sure the US and UK have similar cars they could find.
    • Haha I do that.. thats when it chirps..The bit point for me is almost non-existent. Otherwise I stall it. But yes, in terms of performance, the clutch is solid af.
