Your car is a GTS, not a GTS-T. The T is for turbo.

If money isn't a problem for you, sell it and buy a GTS-T.

[dan_the_man]

agreed. just buy a gts-t. If money really isnt an issue get an r34 gtr. or a helicopter.

too much mucking around with the gts.

Dezz is on the money, buy a turbo car

There is a bit of work involved, turbo, oil/water lines, cooler, manifold(s), ecu, tunning, exhaust etc..

If money isn't an issue just go to a local workshop in your state and see if they can help you out.

cbf?...lol why didnt you just buy a turbo then a month ago?

heres the two options that i see

A: you put your car up for sale, avoid all the headaches and still have a car to drive till it gets sold

B: put your new car off the road for a while, pump money into it, source all the parts needed and still end up with a car that wasnt really engineered as a turbo depending on how far you go.

Im with the other guys. You should buy a turbo car and sell what you have. way too much effort in building up a non turbo into a turbo that still wont be the same as a stock turbo one would be

[Beelzebub89]

I would say putting a whole new RB20det would be easier than turboing the rb20de and if your gunna go that far may aswell put in a RB25 or 26. There is too much hastle trying to convert a non turbo to a turbo. Just sell your car and buy a turbo. Saves alot of headaches

If you love the car that much and money is not a issue then go right ahead.

(BUT we are here to suggest to you that there is other options to make you life a little easier I guess...)

OPTION 1

The things you will need to turbo your R32 GTS will depend on how much boost you want to run. Here is a quick overall rundown...

You might have to strengthen the internals for example forge pistons. Then I believe you will have to alter the compression ratio, re tune/ new ECU / Dyno and fine tune.

Modify you exhaust manifold / fit a turbo manifold to fit the turbo

Larger exhaust

High flow air intake

Install an intercooler, make room for piping

New fueling system, injectors and fuel pump might need upgrading

Use high quality spark plugs

Use a different type of engine oil, one that is suited for turbocharged car, to what you are using at the moment to suite your N/A car

The car goes quicker now, you had better stop quicker too = Upgrade braking system, atleast to high quality brake pads. Also if you want, upgrade to larger disks and calipers. R32 brakes were never up to race standard untill the V-Spec II with Brembos.

You would probley start taking corners a lot faster = Upgrade your suspension, lower the car, install a strut brace so it locks the suspension towers to its maximum stability point. Upgrade your wheels and upgrade the tyres.

To put all the power at the wheels you need to upgrade your clutch and again depending on the amount of boost you want to run, you need a stronger gearbox.

You can't just pull horse power out of the air, something has to give (Give and Take) One thing leads to another. No such thing as cheap horse power.

OPTION 2

Source a RB20DET OR if you want, a RB25DET (for that extra 500cc you gain a bit more torque) OR a RB26DETT for a whole new characteristic type of car, from a half cut and do the engine conversion.

Atleast the engine work is done, its just a matter of fitting everything in the right place. As for the RB25DET and RB26DETT, you might have to modify afew engine fittings / mounts in order for it to fit probly. Make sure everything is welded in probley.

OPTION 3

Trade in or sell you R32 GTS and buy a R32 GTS-T or GTR

dude"shakes head", your meant to ask these questions before you buy the car....

atleast take the club members advice, sell it and buy a gtst, you'll be better of financially later on with less trouble.

Pop your boot,make sure you got a flat surface,place desired turbo then close boot.

Your car now has a Turbo in it.

Good chance the cost of turboing your car will far exceed the amount you paid for your car.

Added to that...

It costs only $95 to see a hypnotherapist who can help you believe that the rear-end turbo is actually working !!

No offence to hypnotherapists - I help patients to stop smoking every day.

Cheers.
