Hey All!

Have just saved up the cash to finally do the conversion on my N/A R34 and whack a turbo on it.

I know there are threads already open on this topic, but i want the South Aussie opinions on the cost of parts, where to get them, places to get it done and other general info that will help me along the way.

I've called Boostworx like 4 times and they still havent gotten back to me regarding part costs and labour charges.

So if i can get some figures together and work around that then my faith will be restored in the idea of doing this!

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers! :blink:

Sorry mate, it is a shocking idea. Sell the car and buy a GTT. The costs you come across to do the whole package are staggering, and you will NEVER get it engineered and through Regency.

There is a very simple reason why almost no-one does it - the lengths you need to go to to do it is simply nonviable (have you thought about the need to change your rotors/calipers/brakes, transmission {which is not built to take the power} and your diff {also not built to take the power}).

Agreed. Cut your losses, sell the N/A and just buy a turbo one that came like it from factory, you might even get some goodies on it :blink: By the time you spend the cash to make it all legal it will end up costing you a LOT more than you had originally allowed for

I don't know what the compression is on the N/A engine, but it might be too high to just bolt a turbo on, without having to open up the engine and bring down the compression (change the pistons etc.) not cheap labour wise anyway.. labour is going to be as high, maybe even higher thanthe cost of the parts put together. I think in the end it's cheaper to just sell the current car and get a GT-T

Nah that was just pretty much a quote for the turbo kit and labour. Its the engineering that really has me worried. i get pulled over enough as it is down my way so it just seems pointless for me to go ahead with the conversion.

If anyone is selling a nice stagea....PM ME!

They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.

      If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.

      If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
