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

    • Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i. 
    • Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.
    • Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.
    • Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.
    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
