Basic set-up

GTT injectors (or equivalent top-feed items)

GTT fuel pump (or equivalent high-flow pump)

GTT intercooler piping and I/C (the R33 set can be adapted fairly easily, basically the same)

Crossover pipe + BOV (will need to cut this down if you use it) other option is to use an aftermarket BOV and steel elbow.

R34 or R33 turbo + exhaust manifold

R34 or R33 dump and front pipe (R33 one will need modding to fit as it is too short)

Exhaust is a must, the stock one is very narrow

Most importantly engine management! Depending on if you go manual or auto will decide what you put in…this is the most important bit as the car won’t even think about running if you don’t have it right

Basically a lot of the things above can be substituted for after-market gear, but if you want to do it quickly and economically just grab bits from a stock car that you know will fit.

I don't think I've missed anything, if I have give me a shout.

Here are some pictures of the engine in my old car (all the bits are from an R33)

thanks dan

ok here is the way i propose to do it when i get around to it

firstly i will have an auto coz i cant be ****ed with manuals anymore (living in town makes you lazy)

ok anyway i think i would get a neo turbo engine and ecu

rip out the n/a

swap over the sump etc onto the turbo engine and whack it in

throw in the turbo ecu

install a front mount, upgraded fuel pump, aftermarket fuel management

3 - 3.5 exhaust system

get it tuned

have a fun day :D

actually wouldnt even need the turbo engine ecu if i was getting aftermarket would i

You cannot fit the front drive sump onto a normal RWD turbo engine, the blocks are very different around the pan rails (much wider).

The only replacement engine that will drop straight in is the RB26.

If you want a turbo 4WD RB25 you will need to rebuild your existing engine with turbo pistons to lower the compression ratio.

The only replacement engine that will drop straight in is the RB26.
Not really, there are a few guys selling the NEO RB25DET 4WD drivetrain out of series 2 stageas...tiptronic boxes on them too :D Very easy transplant, honestly your best option.

    • Well it wasn't as easy as I thought.... and it also wasn't in my original manual which I did end up finding. They discuss the process in the Nismo catalogue though and it requires slight machining. Page 145.  NISMO PARTS CATALOGUE 2020
    • I'm an idiot, my intercooler is rated for 1000hp. I had clicked on the wrong product. Knowing the delta P would be nice, but I'm doubtful I'll do it. Now as for an EMAP, that would be great and I'll get around to it eventually but from my findings in my last post, I'm considering a turbo swap now. 
    • You sir, big win tonight. Precision never supplied compressor maps in the past and Idk when they started, but it seems they only offer for a few of the older gen2's which is exactly what I have. I punched in some numbers and seem to have gone with the wrong turbo. 600-700whp isn't in the most efficient area and is close to the choke line. 800whp is well off the map. Punching the numbers into a 68mm gen2 turbo map is bang on in the center. Here I was thinking going smaller would shift the power band down, but in reality it would just make it so much worst due to my rev limit. I would have never thought. 
    • Increasing overlap will bring the torque down earlier (and make your idle sound sick lol). Worth a shot (if you dyno time) to experience a bit (providing you are confident your valves won't kiss your pistons). Is to just take off 5 degrees across the boosted area of the map, and then retard the exhaust cam let's say, 3 degrees at a time and then overlay all the runs with VCT on all the way and VCT off as soon as you make positive pressure. Ideally you would have a total of 6x overlays to looks at 0 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve 0 exhaust & VCT on all the way -5 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -5 exhaust & VCT on all the way -10 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -10 exhaust & VCT on all the way Just leave your O2 wideband closed loop on for all of the boost area & RPM, and hopefully there isn't too much fuel correction needed and the Haltech is fast enough to compensate (I do this, then apply the correction to the main table). Getting that overlay data should give you a good indication of what to aim for.
    • So, my main limitation here is that the car does not have an oil pressure sensor by default, just a switch. As part of my tune I bought an oil pressure sensor upgrade so I now have access to oil pressure levels and logging rather than just the boolean behaviour of the switch but this means I need to use the tuning app to display this value. So, this rules out using any other app on the iPad. The app will also flash when pressure drops which is a nice feature. I have replaced the centre screen with an Android one, which is awesome for Android Auto, but I think it might be too far away and out of my line of sight. I might add some gauges to it this weekend and just see. I guess if its just temp and oil pressure I can make them massive! 🤣
