+1 to DE+T being more expensive than DET.

If you look around you will be able to find a RB25det for around $1400, then once you sell yours (the head would be sought after buy the RB30det brigade) you will be well on your way to getting the conversion done.

If i was you i'd do the mechanical work your self and send it to some one to do the wiring (just because the wiring will be the headache part) but the bolting up stuff will be simple.

u dont kno wat ur gettin ur self into mate lol

if u go DE+T then u will have to drop the compression wen u start to boost it other wise KA--BOOMMMMM

listen to ppl like nite crawler, he kno's wat he is talking about

i work at an import shop i sorta kno wat im talkin bout

GO buy a stag motor and drop it in, u will be ble to keep awd and have turbo, and freely boost it once u got a fmic

but by all means if u wanna do it ur way go ahead and watch the bill climb.

yeah a lot less of a head fook if you just drop a turbo motor in!

i've seen a lot of people comming into workshops getting their car turboed and a month later end up in the workshop again! going by the list nightcrawler posted, that should be the minium to make the mechanical side run properly, and then there's the brakes, suspension, clutch etc etc to make the car cope! it'll end up costing you a bit that's for sure

^^^ yeah that list was just a minimum - even the prices on that list are light on. Every single time I have done anything to my car, and have budgeted a certain amount, rest assured every time is comes up to around double my original estimate.

And yes, you would also have to consider a brake upgrade to comply with Regency, and probably other countless things too.

    • 1. I can't see a location on your profile but you do mention GBP so I'll assume you are in UK. In Australia, CBC make a timing belt kit with the gears and idler and tension bearing and that is what I use without any problems. I'm sure OEM or HKS are also fine but I wouldn't pay extra for HKS over anything else. 2. Yes, I would always change the idler and tensioner and the stud and bolt that hold them in. Assuming they were all done last time it is highly unlikely you would have a problem, but they are very cheap to add to the job considering the time it will take anyway.  3. No, you don't need to lock them as such (I think that is more for engines without timing marks), but you should make sure they move as little as possible once the belt is off as you can hit pistons on valves if they move too far. As always, make sure you line it all up to top dead centre with the timing marks aligned before you take the old belt off.
    • How to wreak havoc at a bogans party... Swap out the goon bag hanging from the clothes line with oil bag... Watch chaos ensue during Goon of Fortune....
    • Hey everyone,   I’m looking for some advice on replacing the timing belt on my RB25DET Neo-powered 1998 Skyline. The engine was fully built about five years ago, including a fresh timing belt, water pump, and other essentials. However, since then, the car has only covered around 2,000–3,000 miles. It’s currently making around 650hp.   Even though the mileage is low, I know timing belts have a time-based lifespan too, and most recommendations suggest changing them every five to six years or 50,000 miles. Since I’m at that time mark, I’d rather not take any risks and plan to swap it out soon.   A few things I’d like to hear opinions on: 1. What’s the best belt for this setup? Should I go with an OEM Nissan belt, or is the HKS fine-tune a better choice given the power level? 2. Would you bother replacing the idler pulley and tensioner at the same time, or only if they show wear? 3. When swapping the belt, is it necessary to lock the cam and crank gears in place, or is lining up the timing marks enough? I’ve seen different approaches, and I want to make sure I do it right.   The water pump was changed with the rebuild and isn’t run off the timing belt, so I don’t see a need to replace it again. I just want to make sure I approach this the right way.   Any insight would be much appreciated. Thanks!
