_turtle_ Posted December 19, 2003 Share Posted December 19, 2003 i wonder if u can get away with using a GTS-T ecu... that would save a fair bit of money, although obviously not as good as a E Manage.

666DAN Posted December 21, 2003 Author Share Posted December 21, 2003 Brakes are quite good on the R34 N/A....but yeah I want to put in GTR calipers etc... Just have to make do with good pads and a cusco master cylinder stopper Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/29364-leaving-the-na-world-too/page/2/#findComment-614492 Share on other sites More sharing options...
crooser Posted December 21, 2003 Share Posted December 21, 2003 dont be too shy with the boost. i ran 6psi through my rb25de for over 50k i eventually swapped engine and box for the factory turbo variety not really knowing how much longer the old donk would hold up. when the old motor came out and the head came off it was in excellent condition. i should have been more firm with it! in the end i do think its just easier and cheaper to an engine swap dont worry too much about the brakes, i stop fine now with some decent pads. dont even waste ya time trying to turbo an rb20de - just go buy a rb20det it will be cheaper by far cheers Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/29364-leaving-the-na-world-too/page/2/#findComment-614904 Share on other sites More sharing options...
_turtle_ Posted December 22, 2003 Share Posted December 22, 2003 hey crooser, can u tell us which ecu u used? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/29364-leaving-the-na-world-too/page/2/#findComment-615081 Share on other sites More sharing options...
666DAN Posted December 22, 2003 Author Share Posted December 22, 2003 Yeah for a few of you guys it may be cheaper for the engine swap....in my case it isn't But as you can see there has been a fair bit of success with a few people putting a turbo on the N/A without any trouble. You'll find most of the people that say it can't be done have never looked into it or just plain don't know what they're talking about. It's good to have people like Squizz & crooser as pioneers in this area Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/29364-leaving-the-na-world-too/page/2/#findComment-615204 Share on other sites More sharing options...
crooser Posted December 22, 2003 Share Posted December 22, 2003 for the conversion i used a GTS Link after swapping engines i have gone back to a factory 25det ecu (mostly coz it was a lot easier to do so to get the car running asap) knowing what i know now, i should have just swapped injectors and used a factory 25det ecu for the conversion. (the afm and wiring loom are all the same in the r33) that would have solved all the tuning issues/time. and if it pinged u can just retard the base timing from the cas. the perfect mod for a 33 gts4 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/29364-leaving-the-na-world-too/page/2/#findComment-615556 Share on other sites More sharing options...

_turtle_ Posted December 23, 2003 Share Posted December 23, 2003 i guess if you can do most the labour urself u would be saving a fair bit. most the time u can pick up 2nd hand parts for fairly cheap.

666DAN Posted January 29, 2004 Author Share Posted January 29, 2004 Hold the excitement! The stocko injectors are way substandard…and apparently haven’t got a hope in hell of even running at low boost! Luckily the injectors I’ve been waiting on turned up today…so at least I’ll be able to get them in tonight. The biggest problem is getting another dyno spot to turn up sometime soon….unlikely. It is indicating however that some decent power is going to be found as I’m sure the stocko ones are the R32 turbo top-feed item Will update you guys in a couple of hours after I see my car.

666DAN Posted January 29, 2004 Author Share Posted January 29, 2004 I'm putting the injectors in on Saturday...it's getting tuned on Thursday next week. I had to limp home at very low revs...definately spools very quickly though. to be continued......
