This is probably a stupid question...

I know a GTST has a turbo therefore making it a GTST.

But if you got a standard GTS and bolted on a turbo, does it make it a GTST???

or just a GTS with a Turbo.

Probably a dumb question but anyway.

Im wondering this because I have a GTS and want to turbo it.

Thanks anyways

please check the n/a section for some guides on how to turbocharge a GTS skyline. it in theory makes it the same as the gtst the main differences are

manifold

turbo (obviously)

intercooler

piping

brakes

gauge cluster has boost guage

Everything is stock except the 17inch rims i bought the car with.

Another question...

Its a stock GTS25 4 door, 5 speed auto, I didnt want anything overly fast because im still only 17. I figured it would be a good car to learn on. So what are some good mods to start with and slowly build up. Keep in mind I have a limited budget and a new P plater.

Can I get some good power out of an auto RB25DE?

Im thinking my first mod would be to stick in a k&n panel filter and an exhaust system one i got the cash. Sound good or shit?

By the way I havnt put in the turbo yet, comes later.

Thanks, ciaoz

I've decided with my car that I'm not going to bother doing any mods to it, and I'll just trade it in at the same car dealers for a GTT towards the end of uni. Some prick recently rubbed my bumper quite badly and did a runner so I have to get that fixed first :P

Whats the difference between turbos and superchargers? (apart from the obvious, power sources).

Would you get more lower end torque with a supercharger? and would it be better with a supercharger than a turbo?

Also whats the deal with superchargers and bovs?

Im not looking at doing this soon by the way, I want to gain experience before I do any serious modding.

Sorry if my questions sound dumb

Cyaz

even if you did hub conversion, brakes, turbo, manifold, intake i/c, dash cluster, ecu.. blah blah blah to make it identical to a gts-t it will only be a gts-t replica

as far as registration goes it will just be a modified gts because the vin plates shows this

-Ruffels

gtr now? what the?..

well anyway, the difference between a turbocharger and a supercharger is that, the compressor on a turbocharger is driven by the exhuast gases leaving the engine...

the supercharger's compressor is driven by the engine crank via a belt.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
