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

    • What HVAC actuator is under the steering wheel? Do you mean on the RHS of the centre console, immediately to the left of your shin? If so, then yes, it is probably that one, because that is the mode door actuator, and from what I know, it's still a pain in the arse to replace. I don't know about whole dash out, but you certainly have to rip into the centre console section. I don't know if it's covered in the workshop manual, as I haven't spent much time looking at those parts of it. (and by "the workshop manual, I mean the R32 GTR one, which is the most comprehensive one we have, and it should be similar enough between that and later cars to serve as a guide).
    • ...oops. forgot the TCU end...
    • No I got mine from a friend that had fabricated one … but I had to fit it to my setup which was a hks turbo setup. His was a Garrett -7. So one of my turbos was not a flange for one side … then I had a leak in the welds I had to find a weld shut … in the end the setup was decent priced but I spent a lot to get it fitted. A couple companies I checked would make it but you’re talking 7-9k aud with titanium. No joke mine was 6-7k even second hand after I had to fit it in Hong Kong … labour is expensive here. 
    • I'd just like to restate that I don't think anyone here is actually hating I recently sold a car part to a guy who was building a forged auto R34, with MV stall and aiming at ~450kw. I told him that I'm him, from the future and to stop after it explodes once. I told him I knew he won't listen the first time, and that's fine. But if my predictions do come true - Change direction faster than I did. I also said it's probably no coincidence that the dyno plot of a reliable turbo engine starts to look a lot like a N/A motor. :p
    • Got just the wing painted and fitted up to the existing boot. Big visual change and about time after having a GTR wing sitting in the shed since 2018 Headed up to Mallala with a quick obligatory stop in at Boliver OTR Oil control mods seems to have worked. I checked the catch can after session 1 and there was a dribble of water/e85 with barely any oil in it. After session 2 and 3 there was almost nothing and I stopped checking after that. so either great success or catastrophic failure/block of the external breather The GTR wing made a noticeable difference in the 160-185km/h sweepers. It was a very hot day for the cars at over 33C but the previously done cooling upgrade/ducting/water sprayers meant I never saw over 60C intake, 105C water and 100C oil and temps would drop back down very quickly once I shut it down. AD09's are a decent tyre but certainly and expectedly a step down when compared the the CR-S/AR-1 I have had on the car for years of track days. The handling characteristics of my car which I often describe using the Tony Hawks Pro Skater balance mechanic where either side of the center is understeer/oversteer was much more pronounced with no "green/safe" zone in the middle. However, imo it steers well/easily during oversteer largely thanks to the custom ACOSTAL front end. Enjoy a loose lap POV with my mate giggling away as a passenger.   Group photo for Peer Pressure Racing made it back home and gave it a wash Overall a great success compared to my previous two track days where i cooked the Starlets motor and blew up the new diff in the R32
