Sell it and buy one already turbo, work out MUCH cheaper and will almost certainly be a better car.

Don't keep it because of sentimental value or you want to do all the mods yourself or some bs, trust me it is a waste of cash and you will regret it.

VL Turbo gear would be the easiest.

eBay manifolds rarely fit correctly, been there done that on my VL -_-

I turboed my VL with ebay gear and a darkhalf remap, worked well... for about 3 days...

Running a bit lean man. http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h199/zoidbergmerc/Cars/sparkplug.jpg

Great learning experience though.

its a 1989 rb30e i think.. Lol now i just have to find some stuff lol and yeh i got a decomplate on standby aswell aparently it'll bring it down to 7.0:1 lol and i can get an exhuast easy enough i hope lol and yeh intercooler would be a bit harder lol

7:1 is way too low, it'll f**k the squish zones and be a dog if you lower it that much. Just keep boost under 6-7psi and leave the stock head gasket. Make sure you intercool it and run it very rich ~10-11:1 and be very conservative on timing.

Better than decomp and tuning like a turbo motor imo.

If you find doing the above and it still won't take any boost without detonation then look at the decomp plate, imo you should be fine though.

You really need to intercool it, especially if you want to drive it in summer, think of it this way, a new motor and fixing everything will cost you more than the intercooler will, do it once do it properly.

do what im doing

1X VL Rb30E in mint condition

add RB30ET turbo manifold + RB25 stock turbo (i got these for $300)

Rb20det injectors (cheap - free) bolt into stock rail position

Convert dizzy to CAS by using dead RB20 CAS

AU coil packs, wired as wasted spark

RB20 ignitor

RB20 engine loom and ECU, remapped

RB20 AFM

good for a torquy 180 rwkw and cost you dick all

    • Is it a dog or synchro box? I guess either way, if it is new and crunching in one gear only, it has to come out and go back to the shop to check/measure as there is either an assembly or manufacturing issue
    • These are small points I should actually add to my original post. GKtech makes an extended slave line for this conversion. It's what I use, and it works well. You'll also need a CD009 slave cylinder.  S/R Chassis Z33/Z34 Conversion braided clutch line As for transmission sensors, you'll need to both extend the wiring and replace the connectors. I can't recall which is which, but one is your neutral switch and the other the reverse switch. As they are just switches, just test for continuity with your transmission in neutral or reverse to figure out which is which. Connectors:  VQ35 neutral Switch Connector | Wiring Specialties VQ35 Reverse Switch Connector | Wiring Specialties 
    • I’ll try and see it could be the release bearing. As for the 4th gear grind maybe clutch doesn’t disengage properly cause it is slightly like very slightly hard to go into first could be due to the slab cylinder pin being short uni clutch is a twin plate.   Ive attached some assembly photos hopefully you can open the link and see maybe detect what’s wrong https://share.icloud.com/photos/0dc2YvW__Hl6jl-l2_0jejjpg https://share.icloud.com/photos/09e0jkWOK-vP48c1cfY6u3ViA https://share.icloud.com/photos/0b4rDmh5R7pK7fb1VtND73a3g https://share.icloud.com/photos/05eeUi_6dC4DVi80jOUYDgb0g https://share.icloud.com/photos/06335TgY1XxyIJal_wkdQLhzw
