Hey there.

I’ve just turboed my R32 GTS, the parts I’ve added/replaced follow:

Replaced with parts from GTS-T:

Manifold

AAC Valve

Oil Pressure Sensor (not sure why thou)

O2 Sensor

Added with parts from GTS-T:

Turbo waste gate etc.

Intercooler

It is not running 100% t the minute but im getting that sorted hopefully on Monday it's just a matter of sorting out the A/F mixture, Hope this helps.

Selling it and buying a gts25t will actually be cheaper than trying to turbo the gts. Basically I would do a complete engine transplant, as the rb25de runs higher compression than the rb25det. The price difference between gts and gts25t, when I bought mine, was bugger all $2k max. You'd be hard pressed to find an engine alone for $2k.

yeah...i would agree with u gtstvspec but fer other reasons, i need to keep this car.

:P

so i need a manifold, turbo, AAC valve(whasat), oil pressure sensor and 02 sensor.

anything else?

i mean not to the extreme that i can run the stock gts-t boost. just so it can go in and run very low boost and ill work frm there

intake

turbo

manifold

cooler

programmable ecu

custom oil and water lines to turbo

is how i did mine. if you use the 25det injectors, you could probably get away with running a stock 25det ecu.

even though it worked, and worked well, you might be better off buying a complete det engine. plus you'll have a spare head etc you could sell. what you will pay for the parts needed will probably outweigh the cost of a low km replacement 25det

i meant more lift.

Rb25DE cams haf more lift no?

my plans were as outlined. (abit vague as i ROUGHLY know what im talkin abt...after consultation with the G0DF4TH3R)

heheheh...

i thought i could slap in a stock manifold and turbo or manifold and a better turbo.

and then source a RB30 bottom end and pistons con rods etc.

I would then either use a DET ecu or my std ECU with piggybacks like AVC-R and etc etc...then when my gearbox is on its way, ill change the gearbox to a DET one as the DE is only good for 200(hp or kw)...dunnow

something like that...

then slowly and slowly...expect to make more power.

;p)

any suggestions? or corrections where i am wrong?

hey

can we work on the basis that i dont wanna change my car.

:P

maybe ill buy a GTST halfcut.

any suggestions?

the RB25DE cam has a higher lift.

and if i put on a RB30 bottom end, i can lower compression in the process and it wouldnt cost much either.

any suggestion guys?

shuto-boy: frm what i gather, frm my extremely limited knowledge, the RB25DE cams are of a higher lift and therefore will be more suited to a RB30E bottom end. Together, with the RB30 pistons or probably forged ones, the compression can be around 8.x:1 or anywhere around there. Slap on a std manifold or get one made up and the engine is good to go...am i right am i wrong?

the rest is just small things like oil this oil that...

of course i have to change to a GTS-t gearbox,...i know sell and buy a turbo is the most obvious choice but not for me..

:P

personal reasons...if i dont do what i have now up, ill sell and buy a s15..but i cant get a good price for it ay...so i just might prob do it up....suggestions ppl?

waiting fer mao(evo r) to get back and i wanna get a quote of him ay...

heh

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching

      Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.

      Not going to pretend I didn't do a bit of junky work this time around, but mostly due to the fact that some things I am not willing to spend days fixing right now, like wiring. I try to do most things properly the first time around.

      Regardless of neglect or incompetence, fixing either is tedious and annoying. Most of the neglect on my car is definitely rust. I hope I can at least pass inspections later on and they won't fail the car due to slightly corroded hardlines. I was generous with rust converter and wax and it looks ok, most lines in the rear are hard to see properly anyways.  Definitely will test them though to make sure they don't rupture under pressure, in that case the car isn't going anywhere this year.
