No worries, some people have tried using the DE ecu on the DE+T with not-so-good results. They don't have fuel or timing maps to suit the turbo and cause problems. It could be that the extra .5 litre is pushing the RB20 ECU near R&R (extra %25 airflow, even at the same boost) causing your excess fuel usage? Or even if the ECU constantly thinks the car is on boost and richens up accordingly? A re-map/tune will definitely help in all fields...

thanks josh will try the rb25 ecu first and if the results are not favourable will look into a tune. will let you know how i go

Il be honest I may have skipped through most pages, but is this still going to work all the same for 4wd skyline?

Ill be honest; I may have skipped the entire post, but I'm going to say yes.

You have an RB25DE, correct?

Grab yourself the computer from a GTS4, and if you're just going to +t your n/a, the parts will be the same.

I was quoted around $1549 for a Stagea RB25DET NEO by SSS Automotive. Definitely a LOT cheaper as NISMO said, even if you were putting one in a RWD and modifying the RWD SUMP to fit (oil pickup issue). Unfortunately it was sold within the next day so they can go as quick too!

Also read somewhere the Stagea NEO Block is stronger, more reminiscent of an RB26 block obviously with 100cc less... Not sure how true this is but definitely a bonus if true.

Neo's have rb26 rods. That's the only difference in the bottom end. They still have the narrow oil pump drive

If anyone's in NSW and considering doing this conversion, I've got some parts for sale over here:

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/386550-na-t-conversion-parts/

Pretty much everything you need besides the front/dump, and pipe to throttle body and of course uprated fuel pump. Lines are already sorted for R34 Conversion =]

If anyone is still interested in carrying out this conversion, I've got a thread over in the For Sale Section with pretty much all the parts needed besides a few items. All good for R34 Conversion too.

doing a na+t conversion, can i use a factory gtst ecu if im running all standard gtst parts except high compression head?

If you mean bolting all the GTST gear to your stock motor, then yes. So long as you're changing the injectors to 370cc GTST items. This is what mine's currently using for nearly a year now still strong. Just don't expect to be able to wind in 10psi and get the same gains as a 25DET. And if you're going to use a stock untuned ECU, be sure to always run 98 ron fuel.....

As he has said is fine provided you have the gtst injectors and afm. as for adding in a few psi and not getting as much as a Gtst - well I got more - as long as you have a good free flowing exhaust why don't you think you'd get as much as a gtst?

Hi guys I was wondering what your fuel economy is like now compared to before and compared to a normal factory Turbo? I am leaning towards a full engine swap but I like the idea of having the benefits of an NA for good throttle response.

    • Got the gearbox in and the front drive shafts.
    • Hi There I went through a rabbit hole of reading about Xenon headlights and the ADR regulations for having them installed. As people have been defected by running factory xenon I was researching in ways to make them compliant. Everyone always say needs to be self leveling and have washer installed, which I don't necessarily agree with. For this argument I'm using R34 as reference as I'm more aware on the construction of the headlight compared to the R33 Xenon, which may still be the exact same case.   For the self leveling clause taken from ADR 13 - Installation of Lighting and Light Signalling Devices on other than L-Group Vehicles As you can see the bold text "these manually adjustable devices from driver seats" are fine to use. As Series 1 Xenon model headlights do have a 4 level adjuster on the right near the ignition (however not series 2) then these model are consider compliant in that argument.   For the Self Cleaning aspect of this argument clause taken from ADR 13 - Installation of Lighting and Light Signalling Devices on other than L-Group Vehicles Now i can understand the argument that Xenon will need a washer as they are over 2000 lumens, but I clicked on the 12 at the end of that sentence and it takes me to the end notes which states R34 for headlight lenses are plastic, not sure if PL is mark as I don't currently have my skyline to confirm that marking is there. But could you not technically get a lenses with the PL marking on it and then get away with the argument that you need a washer. I went through a quick read of the adr and might have missed something else that may cause them to be non-complaint.    But wouldn't these technically be complaint headlights   Would love to hear other people input on this and shed some light   Edit In regard to the the washer portion I might be mistaken ADR 45 (which I believe is Regulation NO.45) states 12 cd (candela) I dont understand that portion in regarding to calculating the candela if anyone can shed some light. Otherwise I guess throw in a washer for the headlight and you definitely comply.
    • Took it to all Japan day, flogged the hell out of it and took it all, am a very very happy man  don’t know how that ended up in Greg’s thread before
    • Hey Nismo, any chance in the world you still have these seats?
    • I'd say closer to OG GTX3582R, just smaller trim - so 59mm inducer/82mm exducer as opposed to 62/82 for the first gen GTX3582R. Yeah EFRs were boss, the EFR8474 is still an absolute beast and it perplexes me that people still go to things like Turbosmart/Garrett etc when the results people are getting with those are pretty unremarkable compared to what you could get with a turbo available well before those options came out.  DriftSquid (I think) "upgraded" from an EFR9174 to a Turbosmart turbo and promised a comparison video - and kinda shuffled awkwardly and did a bit of diversion from the fact that they didn't get any improvement going to the currently massively hyped brand of turbo from a turbo that was a bit of a frankenstein that had been well superceded in it's own range before the Turbosmart unit he put on there even came out. I suspect the EFR would outperform most Xonas for what a lot of less-insane RB owners would go for, in the 400-600kw range but the Xonas are looking hard to beat up to maybe in the mid 700kw range at this stage- basically where EFRs don't really reach, and before the Precision turbos take over.  What the Xonas do well in the "EFR range" is be easier to package etc, and work very well if a divided housing doesn't suit your application.
