or buy yourself a rb25det half cut i did for my vl however i underestimated how much it would cost me and it ended up costing me close to 8-10gs

if you turbo a r31 skyline( stock rb30) you will need to rebuild whole motor no point just slapping on a decomp plate and turbo kit cause it wont hold much boost at all. if you want information on all of it go to calaisturbo.com.au they will tell you everything yopu need to know about the rb30

Like luvpsi said, there are 'cheap and easy' ways to go about it but they will definitely cost you the better part of 10 grand.

Get a manual one then buy a skyline halfcut and bolt it all in... is the easiest way to go by far. Even if its an RB20, it sounds like all you want is a turbo.

Be it myself, I would need a good reason to have a R31 to begin with lol... But then if it was what I wanted, I would buy the R33 or R34 half cut, then conjur up a RB2530DET hybrid by following instructions well documented on this site, then get a full exhaust, fmic, fuel pump, good injectors, good afm, tunable ecu and a 500ish HP turbo (id be willing to try an ATR43G3 on this budget project) and get it all together.

With epic torque I would saaayyy.... thats the better part of 15 grand though.

as all these guys have said, youll spend 10k doing it properly, maybe a few grand initially doing it on the cheap then when stuff breaks and you end up doing it properly it will all add up.

Just buy one already turbo'd it will be cheaper trust me, just ask anyone who has already done it. You need tyres, suspension, clutch, fuel pump, tuning etc, these are all the added extras on top of turboing the motor assuming it doesn't explode.

Firstly. f**k all the haters above...

Secondly. Easy

buy VL turbo aka 270cc hose tail injectors or any other similar type of hosetail injector.

Buy turbo manifold. Ebay used to be a good place but stock is low. Try for a 2nd hand stock cast iorn vl turbo manifold.

Buy a turbo. An rb25det turbo ia a good start for about 180rwkw

contact nistune for a custom remap. Around $100 exc postage

Custom oil+water lines are $100-150 on ebay

now. Either take the lot to a resonable performance garage and have them fit it and have the piping+dump pipe fabricated. This will cost around $1000

Or do it yourself and save around $700 labour but tou will need to pay for random pipe and joiners and also pay for the exaghust to be made.

I turboed an automatic TI r31 for around $1500 total using a KKR480 turbo $600 and mates rates on the dump pipe

    • You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.
    • Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like  
    • A locally delivered Infiniti have remote start installed but don't come with the remote start key. You need a new remote start key and they just need it programed. And this is different to making/programing a new key that just starts the car.  
    • Cheers, and cheers for sharing so much of the build and also sharing the glimpse of what turns out to bring a lot of us poor decision makers together haha.  I do recommend learning more about how to manage it, if not considering getting a  formal diagnosis.  The discussion with the psychiatrist I got my diagnosis through was quite eye opening, things I'd not even considered to be ADHD related and hadn't mentioned were things she asked about out of the blue and were common themes with people with my flavour of ADHD.   It's not a label for people who are hyperactive and ill-attentive, there's more to it than that and some of it can be much more challenging or damaging - though there are of course two sides to the thing, and a lot of the stuff we have to go through and work on to live with it make us effectively "better" at other things as well. Aside from the fact that there is some argument I could have a bit of ASD seasoning in there (came up during the diagnosis, and neurodiverse things seem to not stay as a cookie cut) I suspect you need to learn more about ADHD if you are puzzled about how hyperfocus could possibly apply.  I *do* personally use "superpower" with quotes deliberately, but it's 100% an ADHD thing due to the exact reason that lack of focus is also an ADHD thing... Loosely speaking the inattentive side of ADHD isn't the inability to focus, it's the inability to control where the focus goes.  Not being able to sleep because brain is more interested in thinking about a stupid thing I said to a girl I liked 30 years ago, not being able to focus on work because my brain is more keen on putting together the torque management strategy we're going to try out with a drag car next weekend, not being able to focus on a conversation with someone I WANT to listen to and respect because there is a flickering light in my peripheral vision.    If I could just stop work and build the torque management setup right there and then I'd not hear anything else until it was done.
