Engine Swap

[DVSTRK]

hey guys im new to this forum and trying to get the hang of it.....im going to buy a r32 gts-t and i am planing on non-turboing it, with a rb25de neo. just like to know how much the labour would set me back on a complete swap and will i need a new clutch to suit the n/a engine??

cheers

Yeah true, best bet would be a garage that specialises in jap motor mods ..

probably cheaper option just to buy a N/A R32 to begin with

ECU would also need to be changed or altered. Why not look at a R33 GTS or even an R34? After you factor in the cost of changing the engine, new ECU and other things it might work out the same and have a newer car. Of course if the R32 is exactly what you want then that's fine too.

Are you doing this with a view to convert back to turbo later due to p plate restrictions? If so then the costs of converting to non-turbo and then back again won't exactly be worthwhile. I ask this as someone else had previously lookeod at that option.

Looking at history, in the end the N/a skylines always end up more expensive then the turbo ones, a non-turbo r32 coupe is much more pricey then a turbo one, and good luck with a decent manual. Its already starting to happen with the r33's and soon R34's. Your little plan is a good one. As for price I wouldn't know sorry.
