I just wanted some guidance on my plans to turbo my 1996 GTS-4 Series II

I've been doing some research on the forums about people who have chosen to do the same and found some useful information on this particular post http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/244281-r33-gts4-engine-swap-to-a-turbo/

This week I'll be getting my GTS-T 5 stud conversion kit so I can have bigger brakes to handle a turbo, and to fit my Rays/ Eins wheels on to as well, but I have been trying to plan the turbo part of the plans.

Thanks to the above post, it saved me planning to buy a GTS-T motor only to find out it wouldn't fit properly, so I'm now left with a few options:

- Turbo my current engine, which is at 166,xxxkms (I have done nearly 50,000 of those kms, and has not been thrashed or abused, and the previous owner was a friend and treated the car the same since it came to AU). Either way it's pretty high in kms, but if I went ahead with that engine it would mean I would have higher compression, and would have to run low boost from what I understand (I'm no expert btw)

- Buy a Stagea or GT-R($$$) engine with looms and ECU and possibly have much less kms and have it fitted either professionally or with some friends who know their way around this kind of stuff more than me to save money

Either way I'd need a tune and an full exhaust to be able to have it working correctly, but which way would be smarter/ cheaper in the end? Any help or advice on this would be great. Like I said I'm not an expert but I'm keen to learn and find my way around this with the right help. Thanks in advance :)

Buy a built a Rb26 and drop it in, that's what i did.

Also, you will need to get a fabricated airbox as you wont be able to fit a stock one

You will need the matching loom and ECU, also suspension to match, get some R32 GTR brakes as a minimum

Good luck

      We have some genuine Japanese legally decommissioned car number plates now in stock 🙂 Add some legitimately obtained JDM style to your Skyline or other Japanese model, or simply as a garage/man cave decoration! About the 40mm hole: The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure & Transport in Japan recognised the popularity of keeping decommissioned plates among car enthusiasts and came up with a method to "destroy" (or render them unusable for street use) while still retaining their collectable/usable value for display etc.  We have 40mm hole covers available to cover the hole nicely with a Sakura motif, which are also available in white in (very!) limited quantities, however they frequently sell out. Please let me know if you're wanting one or more of these and I'll check availability. The Sakura motif covers are more common. https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-decommissioned-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-set-su-7515 https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-decommissioned-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-set https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-400mm-hole-cover *Please note that we can't obtain particular number or area name (eg: "Gunma 500 Fu ・86") if requested. All plates are provided as they become available after decommissioning.

      Ah, fair enough. For the IAT, I'm using a legit GM sensor that was used on the car prior to my current build. I'll get another wideband and IAT ordered and follow up when they show up. Thanks for the help.

      You shouldn't need to massively fatten up the mixtures for cold conditions. For one thing - 0°C is not that cold. For another, the Haltech will be using the IAT sensor to tell it how dense the air air, and calculate the correct amount of fuelling. Then the cold start enrichment is added as a % on top of that, so it should scale with the main fuelling. You might also doubt the IAT sensor at this time. You're not using one from an RB26 are you? Using a nice Bosch sensor or similar? Happens. Some wideband units take great pleasure in killing their sensors. Put another wideband in the tailpipe and compare. Or just swap the sensor to a brand new one and see.

      Oh, my misunderstand. When the car was running, it sounded ok, but if I gave it any gas it wanted to die but caught itself afterwards. It's very different from how it was a couple months ago when it was warmer outside. The logs show that the AFRs are better during, what I assume, is warmup enrichment. Because it's cold, and air is more dense, should I work on the enrichment bit?
