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!

    • All I can say Duncan is good luck and I hope that Neil did not run any E85 in Cheryl. I have recently experienced the full spectrum of fuel tank issues in my R33's that had been caused by E85 and contaminated fuel. When you take the cover off the top of the tank and have a look inside you will get an understanding of how easy it will be. Best case situation is clean fuel with minimal contamination. My GTR was like this and it was a very simple operation to just grab the fuel pump carrier bracket and slide it up and out of the tank. My three GTS_T's had different levels of fuel contamination that was probably caused by E85 in the fuel.  In the worst case all of the metal components in the tank had rusted to the point where there were pieces of rusted metal swirling around in the tank. This required the removal of the exhaust, the tailshaft, the complete rear cradle and the fuel tank. The components in the tank were that rusted that it took days to get the fuel pump carrier and the mounting brackets out of the tank. When the tank was finally cleaned, everything inside the tank had to be replaced. With the tank all back together I could then reinstall it in the car along with everything else that had to come out. Good luck and I hope that you find a clean tank.    
    • It is a two door. It is black and also still has the OEM wheels and stereo. Exact model would be KR_R32RGFEL_SS According to GTR-Registry.com is a 2 Door Coupe; RB20DE; 2WD no HICAS; MT.F5; (11L) Projector Headlamps and Fog Lights; (12_) Electronic Active Full Auto Air Con (Climate Control); (13-14SS) V Selection -- Which seems to be accurate description of my variant. Will try to upload a few pictures soon. The OEM wheels look like the below image. Image is taken from the goo-net-exchange website.

    • Welcome Gabriel. At least your car has a glorious RB and not the shitty CA18. As MBS206 mentioned all the good bits can be added later. Two doors or four?
    • And half of them have been converted to turbos.
