Bayside Blue R34 GTV Posted October 8, 2010 Author Share Posted October 8, 2010 Got my quote today from AVO which was OMFG. guess i'll have to do some bits myself to keep the cost down. just wondering will i be able to put a set of GTT injectors in without changing ecu, is it just a plug and play job? and same goes to the fuel pump,? Also do i have to change the afm to a gtt one or are they the same. as no one mentioned anything about the afm so i assume they dont need to be changed?

BezerkR32 Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 dude, this is going to go pear shaped.

mad082 Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 yeah i think it is best to simply sell your car and buy one already turbo'd. you will come out a few thousand dollars better off. NA skylines sell for about the same as a turbo version, so you aren't really going to lose money on the car. now i know that before you said you didn't want to do it for personal reasons, but unless you have a compulsion so spend money that you don't need to do, then buying the factory turbo car is going to be the best and cheapest idea. hell with the money you save you could pay to have the car resprayed the same colour as your current car.

Ive only read the first post, this one in the quote and BezerkR32's and he couldn't have said it better. I can tell this because you can't just drop in turbo injectors, among other things, they spray more then what your ecu understands for an n/a engine, how will the ecu cope? You need to get any second hand set of injectors spray and flow tested to make sure they are spraying consistently, you need an ecu that can properly control how much fuel to spray vs air and rpms..... You need a new afm because your n/a one wont be able to read how much air the car is sucking in... etc. etc.... get my drift? If you don't have the money to do it properly, either wait, or sell the car and get a turbo. Things that you can do yourself if your a little bit handy to keep the costs down: -Locate all the parts for them so they don't have to stuff around -Install a side or FMIC and piping -Install a boost gauge? Alternatively, you could do more of the labor at home WITHOUT turning the key and then get a tilt tray to take it to the tuners to do the tuning there. I have done this numerous times before and its saved me thousands over the years.

And which workshop did you use? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/339354-nat-conversion-shop/page/2/#findComment-5489351 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinkstaah Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Don't do this conversion. It will (one day) end in tears. Unavoidable tears. Tears that will result in regretting you ever doing this.

WYTSKY Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 WYTSKY, i see you have used Power FC for your NA+T conversion, did you had any trouble with the VCT using Power FC? And which workshop did you use? Its fine to see you read my sig, but did you read my previous post carefully? VCT and powerfc's should be the last concern of yours at this point. To answer you question, I honestly don't think so, as I said, I do 80-90% of the mechanic work myself and let my tuner do the fiddly tuning and he hasent ever said there are any issues.
