well i thought id never say this but its finally done my car is turbo yay i knocked it off in just one weekend with the the help of a few boyz from the r31club ive still got a few things i wanna do ova the next month or so e.g. cam, bigger exhaust, bigger front mount, and a bit of tuning but basicly ive been running 8psi and it dosnt ping at all i also found it will run with the N/A ecu and afm but not with the l20et throttle possition sensor i started off wid the l20et tps and the thing was hitting the rev limiter at 3000rpm and cutting the fuel after trying just about everything i decided to try the N/A tps and bingo thats what it was. Its going on the dyno this saturday just to suss out the air fuel ratio and fiddle wid the timing to hopefully allow a bit more boost.

I will get some pics up soon just got a few things to sort out and tidy up and then i will take some photos.

CONGRATUFKENLATIONS!!!

ya beat me!

hey be really carefull running the stock ecu (& dist?), it youre useing the L24e dist make sure you lock it so it doesnt up the timing as the revs go up, or you will run lean as f*k then... BOOM!

cant wait to see your pics, you got one of the neatest engine bays, should look good turboed up!

AND how does it go? what revs do you have boost come in! oh cmon more info mate!

im just waiting for some brake parts and injectors and a working ECU.... might come over for a 'visit' when its done!

thankx guys .

Im not running the L24E ecu im running the L20ET ecu and afm i just said that the L24E ones worked and ive been running 8psi and it has shown no signs of pinging as yet but its going on the dyno tomorow to suss out the air fuel ratios and fiddle with the timing.

At the moment im running 5psi cos i had an injector that was leaking externally and have had to temporarally put a n/a in its place so im getting a set of secondhand RB30E injectors as they only flow 3cc lower than the L20ET ones so it should be back up to 8psi today and possibly 10psi tomorrow.

But to whoever has concidered doing this conversion i say dont think twice about it just do it, its a awsome car to drive now.

Where did you get the turbo manifold and ECU from ?, Japan, New Zealand or the US ?, what was the cost may I ask ?

any updates??? got me thinking now...as i have my car complete (L20eT) all i'll do is replace the 20 with a 24/28 and see..hmmmm

good job so far!!!

oh and with that 25turbo, did you change the manifold to suit?? it wouldn't just bolt up as the L20 had a diff bolt pattern?!

na mate the l20et manifolds are a T3 patten so the RB25 turbo being a T3 bolted straight up

      The previous switchover point was 501mv. The stock value is like ~360. They now were idling at about ~880. The thing is, most people get a false lean condition. I am getting false rich conditions. This isn't a quirk of terminology, most cam upgraders get awful fuel economy because the O2's read false lean and add fuel - Mine are attempting to aggressively subtract fuel.

      So... the whole idea was to upgrade the power of the motor from stock. The motor I bought with the gearbox had 'some' stuff done to it in the past, but it wasn't as well thought out/what I had wanted to do. The stock heads typically are a big restriction on LS's and need porting to unlock quite a lot of power. You can then go a bit silly with aftermarket castings to get more, aftermarket intake manifolds for a little more, and then porting those for more. <- We are here. Nobody in Australia really goes down this path (for some reason). It might* make 3kw or something more than doing things the tried and true path for 10X the cost. So that's probably why - I wouldn't even recommend it to people, the money was and is likely better spent on just CNC'ing the stock heads and putting a 6.3L stroker kit in. I didn't want to go down the 'normal' path and then think: But if I'd just done a bit more - I could have had a slightly better result. I assumed the heads were running out of flow and it always annoyed me - Turns out the previous installer advanced the cam 6 degrees so this is likely why it was coming on earlier and running out of puff earlier than advertised. The body panels were just lack of planning/no information on this anywhere on the internet and the fact they came out different was annoying. From test fitting the guard it appears I could have gotten away with GTR guards only, but I got the bonnet and raisers and everything else as well for a pretty decent package deal.

      So you had a car that by all accounts drove well and survived track days, and that was looking great after months of being stuck at a paint shop. Some might call that a finished project. But you decided this is not quite right. So now the car does not run anymore. And the engine doesn't fit anymore. And the body parts don't match anymore. But, this is progress somehow. Greg, I think your subconscious does not like you and does not want you to drive this car. (I know I know, this whole escalation was not intended, but man, what a rollercoaster)

      Yeah, but the narrowband is truly narrowband. So you take it out of the linear zone and it is effectively nonsense. And that linear zone is so literally narrow, that nonsense is not very far away. Unless they are flicking back and forth across the stoich point, for real, under actual control, they can't be trusted for anything except entertainment value.
