Yeah if you could find out that would be great? Is he running an external gate?

Reading this it looks like you can keep the factory cooler piping, I know the piping before the turbo will need to be changed.

Do you know if the crossover pipe is still used for high mount set ups?

This can be done on the "cheap" but really the not the best way to go. Turbonetics would be the cheapest Turbo I would go, just buy it from them or a dealer and cheap manifolds HAVE problems i;e put a straight edge on it and you will see. So the items you will need and the usual mods to be done for this setup ON A STANDARD RB25DET in a Skyline are:

Turbo

Manifold

Wastegate

Injectors

Manifold Studs

Wastegate Fabrication

Dump Pipe Fabrication

Intercooler Pipe Fabrication ( If using a Front Mount)

Intake Pipe Fabrication

Fit Injectors + Rewire Loom and Pressure Test Fuel Rail

New Oil Supply and Drain System

Mod Plate for High Mount

New CPU or Map / Dyno Time

Heatsleeve

Z32 Afm with Tomei Adaptor

Upgrade the Clutch

New Vacuum Hose

Clamps + New Brass Fittings

Coolant

Tow Truck Fees

There is more shit but CBF typing it.

With the Turbo + manifold with custom work and Sard Injectors added onto the price I did it for about $5530, and that was on the cheap lol.

Ok so everything you mentioned iv already taken into account except for the intercooler fabrication & the mod plate. So might as well go high mount unless Bunta's friend has the right low mount manifold for sale.

I pmed you the details not sure if he wants to sell the mani seperate. But for the price he is offering you effecively get the manifold, pay 500 bucks less than retail for the turbo them all the piping the dump pipe and waste gate come free!

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..

      Lower A arm Skyline v35

      By sonicii · Posted

      The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.

      Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
