Picking up my new. well not so new 1993 R33 GTS 5 speed manual Tomorrow

and then going to be picking up a mates R33 gtst Engine. to use all the bits and pieces of that for my build

Thinking of putting the RB25det Head on my rb25de this way till have the bigger injectors and what not for the Turbo. ill then be mounting the turbo(Undecided yet) up the back of the car located either behind the diff or somewhere else. i will research and think of a good place for it.

Ill then be designing the piping for the intake on the turbo. compressed air piping run up back to the engine bay into the bottom of the air box and ran into the manifold. making the engine bay appear normal. I will then run the oil feed and return liens down to the back of the engine. but on the return line i will have a Scavenger pump pumping oil to the sump to prevent back up in the turbo and keep it all flowing nicely.

Im going to be taking alot of pictures and getting ideas ready for this project to get underway within the next few weeks.


ECU wise. i need an opinion. im getting the r33 gtst ecu. would i be able to just simply swap that ecu instead of mine then be able to run stock boost.(ill be taking it to a tuner) would it be safe to run until i got it tuned or would it need a tune asap once ive got it all installed. as im goign to build all the mounts and piping over a few months. get it all ready then put it all together over one weekend.

FEEDback will eb much appreciated thanks

Please no hate i got the cash to do it and am on Ps for another 3 years so dont say its a stupid idea. and dont say the turbo will be laggy as f**k. ive researched this. before you judge do some research on the rear mounts. :)

​Il also post pictures of my skyline :)

Has to be a troll... Is it school holidays again lol?

It is a stupid idea and let me tell you why. Use your brain here buddy.

Even if police dont see it, if you crash your car ALL OF your insurance is void. Every last bit of it. Have fun paying for all the damage to the cars or people involved. If someone looses an arm, a leg or dies, youre going to be paying that off for life.

Just putting a 25det on a 25de block doesnt work that way...

Sounds like you have done no research and are just talking crap lol.

The only room for a rear mount would be at the rear muffler too, have fun hiding that. Remember these are low cars. Feeding another set of piping back for the return pipe will not be easy. It would have to be a high car.

The only reason anyone would want to do this is to hide it, but thats what P platers dont get. Even if you can hide it, all it takes is one crash or one half smart police officer to realise what you have done and boom youre over.

Save your money till you're older. Take it from me, I had all these wild ideas when I was younger too. In two weeks I get off my P's.

sounds like a cool build, just put the turbo on the roof, that way you'll get some awesome cold air and more power, will pull like a train!! im following this build man!!

can you imagine how loud the "dose" will be? fuarkkk

I see pigeons, pigeons eveywhere

Yeh Owen, 280kw at around 12psi I think, running United e85. Lag is non existent with the .82 rear GT35. Quite a different car to drive now. lol.

The carpet is back in the boot, engine bay is stock. Very stealth.

I'll just put this here... Works well. Stealth as faurk.

Dooeeet. :P

That's pretty faarking awsome..!!!.

Where the intake?

It would be very tempting to weld up a slip jointed closed exhaust tube to run from the engine pipe to the muffler- just to hide the pipe work going into the boot.

... how hot does the carpet get?

Love it!

Not much warmer in there than it was stock on a warm day, it gets good ventilation, I was going to cut more vents and perhaps get a small fan or two but there was no need. The carpet barely gets warm due to the heat shield I made, and all the wrapping/beanie.

The turbo doesn't get very hot anyway as it's 4M from the engine, even on the dyno...

That was what he wanted Owen, but I told him it is instant defect, and there is no way to get decent pipes through past the motor, unless you want to ditch aircon etc. A lot of thought and design work went into it before we decided on this setup, believe me.

Yep, I fitted a scavenge pump off the drain and fed the oil from the engine oil pressure switch. The only issue was, being a gt35, it needed two restrictors to lower the oil pressure, and stop blowing oil out the turbo seals.

The water was fed from the engine too, to the turbo and gate. The water lines needed to be large as otherwise not much water would flow. It was just easier than running dedicated rear mount water and oil setups with separate pumps and coolers. Looking back I probably should have gone with an oil cooled ceramic bearing Precision turbo.

    • Yeah, thumbsup from me. The distant shot of the bay just looks same-same as before.
    • Dad had a court case drag out with them from 1998 to 2004. He was in a not at fault accident, NRMA were the ones who covered the other person. They tried to blame his neck injuries on the fact he'd had an injury in 1981 on his extreme lower back where he slipped a single disc right near the bottom. Had been all cleared from that injury for years. This accident destroyed his shoulder, and f**ked a heap of discs in his neck, and he still has major problems with it to this day. Sarah's sister while on her L plates had a small Suzuki Alto, she had stopped to give way to an ambulance, and someone changed lanes behind her because there lane was also slowing, and rear ended her at 80km/h. (She had been stopped for a few seconds already too!). Car was completely f**kED. NRMA sent the vehicle around to 3 different workshops as they kept claiming "We believe it can be repaired, and not written off, we just need to find the correct workshop". It took 3 months, and a lot of arguing before they'd concede and wrote it and paid out. About two years later her sister had a Lancer, someone pulled out of a stop sign without stopping (in an 80 zone). Her sister swerved, hit the front of the other persons car (Instead of dead t-boning the drivers door), which ramped her Lancer, and made it roll multiple times down the road. It hit every panel on the way through. Her sister had slid her self out of the car, and remembers the ambos walking to the accident (They'd been sitting at a set of lights just down the road and witnessed it) and they were saying "Well, this ones going to be a fatality, no way you can walk away from that". Well, she did. And then NRMA sent two assessors out to look at the car, both of which wrote it off. They tried to send another assessor out, except a HUGE uproar was raised, and they FINALLY paid it out. That was on a car, that had damage to EVERY panel, you could see from 100m away the whole car was also twisted, roof bowed etc. Nah, we'll try get out of needing to payout on a $10,000 car... Her sister ended up with major shoulder reconstructive surgery being required, and was permanently limited in her ability to do her job as a nurse after that, as she can't (And was told before surgery too this would be guaranteed to happen) regain full strength in that shoulder. However, there was no choice to not have it, as she could barely use her arm, which was her dominant one, and was in near constant major pain. (And she's the type of person that would try and walk off a broken leg!) NRMA did the biggest run around on the personal injury side too for about 18 months, even to the point of trying to put 100% blame of the accident on Sarah's sister, even though the other driver admitted she didn't look, and didn't stop, and was charged by the police. Sarah used to have a Barina insured with them. It was a policy setup, paid all 12 months in advance. At the end of the 12 months, Sarah was living with me, I reviewed the renewal, it clearly stated "If you do nothing, your policy will cease on XYZ date". We did nothing, as we moved her insurance in with all of mine and I was with Shannons. We find out 10 months later, NRMA decided, because he DAD had a car insurance policy at the same address as what Sarah's mailing address was (Garaged address had been changed), that they'd put Sarah's (What should have been non existent policy) onto her Dad's month to month charges on his credit card. We had to jump through hoops, to get a refund. They didn't care that we actually found the letter that said "If you do nothing, your policy will cease" they made us prove we had NON COMPULSORY insurance else where before they'd issue the refund, and after they agreed to the refund, it still took another 6 weeks and 3 more phone calls for them to actually process it. They also had two insurance claims from storm damage, and they were an absolute cluster to get resolved as well (one vehicle, one house). Some how, up until about 3 years ago, her parents were still loyal to NRMA too, and we were like "How the hell are you so loyal to staying with them, when other places are so much cheaper, and they've f**ked you over every time you've ever had to make a claim?"
    • I got the four AN10 fitting welded up to the cam covers and started up making the head to sump breather/drain lines. The front passenger side cover I used a 45 up top and a 90 at the bottom into the stock VCT head drain spot (3/4" BPST to AN10 adapter) thats unused on the RB25DET NEO with some speedflow flame shield to protect it from the manifolds heat.   back passenger side was a 90 up top with some flame shield and 45 at the sump end. The rear drivers is 45 at both ends   the front drivers fitting is capped off for now but ready to go if i want to try moving the breathers around. I was told by the fabricator to leave all the welds raw for now to make sure there are no pin hole leaks. A lot of cleaning up, re bundling looms and degreasing to go as well as final assembly on the cam cover baffles. The first real test will be 28th March at a Circuit event. added complexity and more spots for leaks but overall looks relatively neat imo
    • Yeah i think the dash needs to come out. To get the loom or maybe just climate control and radio cluster. My mirrors are done i think the motors don’t work so well after flood haha i need the ac fan, you said you wanted to keep it for your 31 and interior loom not including boot. The wiper motor. I’m not sure how good the window surrounds are on the exterior on the pintara.  I will message you to get your bank details shortly 
    • Just another barrier put up to stop cars being modified. When we're all driving Chinese sewing machines, you won't want to modify it anyway, and you'll likely already have slashed your wrists and be locked up in a padded room for your own protection.
