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.

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 :P )

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!

      It's not a dumb question. I was circling this idea myself. User error is always possible!

      Nope. The seal is in the drive. A new cable would just fill up and continue to convey oil to the speedo head. To check if this is what is happening, take the cluster out, dismantle the speedo and have a look. You probably don't even have to dismantle it. If there is oil coming up the cable, the drive into the speedo will be grossly greasy. I had to manually (and delicately) clean the gunk out of my speedo.

      Thanks for the quick response mate, and I agree Nismo 555s, Z32 and high flow 2871 in OP6 housing (run by PowerFC) would all be "period correct" and should be a simple, reliable and reasonably quick track car.

      It is normal for a speedo to read 0-10% high (unfortunately), intended by manufacturers and ADRs (although not in this case) to ensure your speedo does not read low if your tyres are worn. Speaking of which, what size tyres do you have on the rear, and what does they tyre placard say you should have? you can use this https://tiresize.com/calculator/ to determine what % difference that is causing Personally, when I buy tyres for a car I buy a size that will bring the speedo back to being more accurate; it if it reads 5% high I buy tyres that are 5% larger diameter. If you had an electronic speed sender like R33 onwards, the other option is to add a speedo adjuster but that won't work in R32. Finally, you  might be able to find a different sized gear for the speedo sender but that will be limited to what already exists (and I don't know what sizes do)

      OK...so dumb question to check....do the hi beams actually come on when the push the stalk to engage them (keeping in mind your headlight switch must be at ON as well)
