[Skyline_Lover]

If i want to make my RB25DE turboed can i just change the head to a RB25DET head? or would i need more then just the head???if so what all would i need??? i really need to know if i can just change the head and drop a turbo in it....plz help thanx

The main difference between the two is the pistons / camsharfts / valve springs / injectors / Ecu

exhaust mainfold / fuel pumps / intercoler / turbo etc the list goes on.The engine block is the

same if you rebuild the motor with new turbo pistons and try and gather all the other parts 2nd

hand as people up grade you should be able to get out of it pretty cheap.Some have bolted

turbos straight onto non-turbo motors with an aftermarket ecu but it is not recommended.Its

not just the swapping the head its the whole package it can cost a lot of money if you have to

pay someone to do the work for you.

Turbo, ex manifold, front mount, injectors, ecu, exhaust, 7 psi. No need to change anything else to make more power than a stock det

why not just turbo current 25de? thats wot i did and I am still very happy with the results... the parts only cost me $500.. labour was a lil costly.. but looking back.. if I had known then as much as I know now I could have most likely done it myself except for drilling an oil line into the block...

but honestly... if you were going to make yours the same as a det(cams, pistons,etc) , I would say you would pay that much more on parts+labour instead of just simply "dropping in a complete det" ... ~$2000ish complete and ready to go ?

(mine was more complicated becuz of 4wd... was a headache... so cbf )

all i can say is non turbo compression is awsum with the turbo... when I had mine going with just standard turbo gear and non turbo compression i left standard gtsts for dead...

good luck with it!
