I have a r34 gtv . So pretty much a gtt with no turbo .

Since it has all the turbo goodies like lsd dif , gtt brakes, bc coil overs blah blah blah ...

But is it easier to drop a turbo rb25 into gtv than a standard 25gt?

I don't want time wasters just decent answers

Thanks guys

How much easier , like what exactly can I do. thanks btw

You can do exactly none of it. Based on the fact you are asking the question. Otherwise you would either currently be

1: doing it

2: being sensible and buying a turbo car.

For the record, I'm not doubting you, or bashing you. But swapping an engine is quite the undertaking, and the way you're asking would assume you're not confident and probably shouldn't be doing it

ANYWAY. You asked a question..

Buy a turbo motor, replace everything on it while it's on a stand, I'd suggest a rebuild it if you don't know the history / health because if some guy says "yeah mate was running sweet" it's probably blown up. which is exactly what happened to me, but i was rebuilding anyway... And then put it in the car

Easier said than done, but it's still not actually hard if you're mechanically minded and keen to take the car off the road for a while. In saying that, in your situation, the very fact you're asking questions like what you can do to do the swap would show it's probably not a good idea and you'd be biting off more than you can chew

QFT

Id sell it and get a GTT. GT-Vs have more value than the standard n/a and gtt r34s, so you could get decent cash for it and buy a gtt with money to spare. Best and most logical option in terms of finance. Ive seen a few gt-vs go for 15k, while the gtts sell for 11k.

Then again i also understand the car enthusiast aspect of it: considering its your first car, all them memories, being unable to part with it at times, having a fun project build to pass the time, etc.... End of the day its your pride and joy, so logic gets thrown out the window :P

    • He obviously had his reason for flipping you off. I wonder what it was...
    • Thats why I stay far, far away from Eastwood. only go there if I wanna eat Korean food 
    • I have to agree like, yesterday, I was driving down the warringah freeway towards the bridge when this jackass driving a beaten up Honda civic cut me off so suddenly it made me almost yank the wheel to avoid him hitting my car. Honestly and he had the NERVE to flip me off (or some other gesture Idk). Im a calm guy, but really some people just dont deserve to have a license, let alone be allowed to drive on densely populated roads/highways. If youre gonna cut through lanes at least use the damn turn signal
    • HPA do an interesting video on tuning, and Adrian shows on the dyno, moving from 10:1 to 12:1 (And I think even 13:1) and the power moves SFA. However, a couple of degrees of timing has a HUGE impact. Exhaust side of things will more be the length of the exhaust and how many bends and turns you have. The straighter you can keep it, the better. By a lot. Oh, and getting the diameter right. Bigger isn't always better. Going to big can actually lose you power.
    • I have to say, most people I see on the road fit the bill of atrocious drivers. Whether they be cowboys in their dual cabs, bogans in the Commodores, or the soccer mums. Pretty much most people on the road put zero freaking thought into driving. Barely look further up the road then the end of their bonnet, and have never even thought about how catastrophically wrong shit can go, by doing what they all deem as normal driving. Especially their late braking, racing to stopped lights, and sitting half a foot off the bumper of the car in front at 110km/h. Wanna know what's even better? By the time their kids get to be old enough to learn to drive, they've already got in the back of their brain what is normal driving, how annoyed you're allowed to get at people etc, and then their parents who actually have zero freaking skill at driving (Even though they constantly say "I've been driving for 20 years and never had an accident!") teach the little twerps how to drive, or should I say, how to make a car move. Literally watched a parent teach their L Plater, on a 4 lane freeway, that you just slam the brakes on, and push your way over, even with a B Double bearing down on you, and that's how you should drive, rather then, just keep going to the next exit. Same shit happens all the time for side streets etc, watching numpties pull dumb shit turns pushing across 3 lanes of traffic, rather than just go up the road another 30 seconds, and take the next turn that'll get you to the same location... Oh, and the damn right lane bandits. Or the retards driving along with their headphones in, and can't hear the ambulance or fire truck right up their ass about to run them over...   Pretty much, people drive on the road, like ego centric f**ks, and don't actually think how dumb shit their driving is, how it could easily kill them or someone else in a split second, or at the very least, how they're driving is contributing to all the shit they're bitching about on the road, like shitty congestion!
