I have done it from start to finish.

Don't. Don't. Don't. Don't. Don't, Don't.

Just sell and buy a turbo car. Seems like a hassle? Its far, far less hassle than going the alternate direction.

+1000.

Stuff conversions.

All I did was auto-to-manual my GTT, which is pretty darn simple compared to +T'ing a GT, and it was a total headache. I'm happy with it now but it's not worth the trouble.

Also, since these cars are worth peanuts these days, unless you have the tools, skills, time and space to do it yourself you're going to spend a big chunk of the value of your car on parts & labour to get stuff done properly. I know I have.

In all seriousness I am considering putting my wreck into a 4WD GT-Four, because that would be awesome.

In theory you could run a high comp N/A with turbo with E85. I would, if I could go back in time I would consider a higher CR but I'd never recommend it.

I'd say conversions are really only viable if it doesn't exist in any other way, like Hamish said, a LS1 in a R34.

But a Turbo GTT does exist, a manual GTT does exist.

Time is money, especially if it's someone else's time.

That's how I feed my kids though Greg. Shutttup. :P

If it's as simple as slapping a stock manifold and turbo in there, and nistuning it on e85 I can't see the issue, costs would be fairly low and results would be great, till the auto slips. Haha.

It's all fun and games until you can't run Nistune on R34 N/A's and you get an e-manage and then can't get it working and/or legal or RWC so you put a standard GTT engine in and then the wiring doesn't work right so you give up on Nistune because nothing talks to the auto correctly so you end up saying forget it use an e-manage then the engine blows up and you wait a year for a rebuild and then everything else explodes and scotty fixes it after 6 years of crap and then you slightly bend it

just buy a gtt

    • Thanks for that.... If only I could do something once and be happy with that, like some people do....
    • I had no transmission at all so I managed to find a big box manual gearbox from an R34 GTT for an insanely good price in EU. I converted it to push type which cost more than the transmission almost, with parts from Amayama! These engines are very strong and can put out decent power with a properly sized turbo. You can save on money from parts like pistons and rods, and invest those in the transmission and other parts. I suggest you join the RB20 Enthusiasts facebook group, plenty of info and almost daily posts there about 20DE/DET/Neo+T builds. (I hope I'm not breaking any forum rules by mentioning third party platforms, just trying to help the buddy out)
    • Yeah, having tried all of those methods including BBQ+recipro/hacksaw, I ended up buying a bush press kit under $150 that works well, like this: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/355967727167?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=705-154756-20017-0&ssspo=sfmmuhxgqhm&sssrc=2047675&ssuid=dJvnaZ11TB-&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY It basically has a range of pushers and cups with threaded rods between to press out a range of large bushes. The problem with any sawing solution is minimising damage to the subframe side, although it probably needs a quick sand afterwards no matter what solution you try due to damage
    • Hi. Thanks for the answer. I do not have instagram 😄 I too considering turbo the RB20DE NEO 🙂 But i think i upgrade the gearbox first or at least buy new.  
    • Just pulled the passenger apart so got a good idea, also the side bracket that pivots the top half is completely cooked.. how I don’t know.. haha and paid $400 also included a photo of the passenger seat! She is mint
