Turbo Conversion

[skyliner33wa]

Hi All,

Firstly, i hope i'm in the right part of the forums, if not sorry.

I am considering buying an "engine conversion kit" for my skyline after failing to sell it to buy a turbo, and after reconsidering (will cost me a lot less for a conversion)

How hard is it to do the conversion, if i got the dash, engine, gearbox, ecu, and whatever else is required. Is it a straight swap or do things need to be modified as my sisters boyfriend whos is a mechanic and i am going to do it.

Just want as much info before attempting to do it and finding out i need more parts, etc..

Thanks in advance

:uh-huh:

if you are changing to a 25det gearbox you will need the front half of the det tailshaft/spline setup. your current spline will be too small. this is an easy swap.

also,make sure the new box has the mount with it.

you will have to re-use the 25de engine mounts. another easy swap.

you only need to change the speedo in the dash. nothing else.

the NA wiring loom can stay. use a factory 25det ecu.

your existing powersteer, A/C and alternator all stay

fitting the cooler will be the only "custom" job (might as well go straight for a front mount)

hope this will help some

Thanks crooser, i actually read your post on your conversion good job.

I aint really mechanically minded, i won't be doing it by myself. I will be getting the following

"To give you an idea of price a general mechanical type RB25det conversion such as complete engine with mounts and crossmember and transmission with mount and crossmember,Turbo dump pipe and engine pipe engine wiring,engine computer,air flow meter,intercooler and intercooler plumbing,radiator fan,tailshaft or yoak.."

is this enough?, when you say only the speedo needs changing you mean the whole dials (fuel, tacho, temp, boost, etc..) right? and everything else will be cool?

thanks crooser

just the speedo needs to be changed. the rest will work fine.

but if you get a whole gauge cluster cheap enough, even easier.

cheers
