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 jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      Lock up the old for sale / wtb threads.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.

      I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.

      If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
