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
