Hey all,

What can i say? Im a owner of a Skyline now. Its a 96 White R33 Skyline GTS-4? Its a nice looker n all very attractive car.

IM happy with it n all but the only prob its NA :D

Im looking to turbo it or do an engine swap to RB25DET.... Yes guys i have read all the forums regarding this. so dun tell me to search:)

Is there any 1 from "Adelaide" who also has an R33 GTS4 and had any 1 turbo and NA skyline or done engine swap etc?

As this my 1st skyline i dun know many places out there dat tune em?

i dont mean to sound cynical here, but why didnt you buy one that was turbocharged? gts25t R33s have really come down in price recently. plus it would save you money/time/hassle ect..

anyways, it sounds like a nice car, post a pic when you get a chance :D

the money n time u gona spen making it turbo, save and when u have the money 2 turbo it, sell urs and get a new 1 with a turbo...thats my opinion..itll prob b cheaper and have change 4 some mods...i had (still do and its 4 sale btw) a 33 gts 4 2 yrs then i got new car....it was sorta a waste of time cos insurance was the same, petrol was the same etc etc...only got it cos my dad thought it was not as 'fast' as a turbo...hahaha

sell it and buy the turbed model, ya gona pay the same or even more converting it, ya lookin at at least 2-4k for ya motor, box, ecu, loom, airflow meter, then ya got ya cooler setup on top plus any other hiddn cost.... been there done that, just droped a rb20 into a car that never had one and it ate about 5k..........

sell it, and get the turbed model!

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
