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.

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
