If you go a 3788 you'll have even more headroom... but then again a 4202 would be future proof :P

well.. if that's the case might as well drop in a LSX and run 2x of those turbos :)

Done!

Thanks for all of the replies.

I see the Hypergear stuff is strongly suggested.

i'm looking at this: http://www.hypergearturbos.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=57

ATR43 400~600HP T3x Internally gated turbocharger

Would I need to send my turbo in to Hypergear or is this a whole new turbo? (can i part-exchange my turbo? Else I got no use for it)

It is almost direct bolt on.  You will need oil and water lines.  Tao can supply those with the turbo, or you can look at eBay....but easier for you getting them from Tao.  The dump should match Nissan pattern.  The inlet needs modification.  You can't use the skinny rubber Nissan shit.  You need to fab up a steel or alloy 4" inlet that will also accept the AFM and your BOV return, etc.

you dont need water or oil lines with the 43 and 45 atr's. it just makes it a little easier to install with them.

There is a bit of custom involved, as gts said. But nothing serious or hard. And depends how neat you want it... Get some more pipe, a 90deg bend and some random silicone joiners and you should find a nice combo.


Get BB If you want better spool. I'm all in at around 3500 with journal with the atr43g3sat.

 

Install process:
FYI: You need around 60mm studs, not 40mm. Also there are easier ways to do the install than shown below.

I'm holding off on the turbo for now. 

A buddy may be able to get me a NEO motor complete with turbos.

Would that just be a simple matter of removing the existing RB25DET and replacing it with the NEO? Is the wiring harness the same?

Luckily I wont be doing the work. Will send it to my buddy's shop but I will help so I can learn at the same time.

No, the wiring is not the same.  There are differences at various sensors.  The Neo has a boost sensor for the ECU that the vanilla 25 doesn't.  You need the R34 loom and the R34 ECU.

it will probably be easier for me to get an aftermarket ecu. 

these cars are rare in south africa. especially the r34

if i do find one however I will get it

Edited by Die$eL

ok so my buddy just called. 

He is able to get me a complete NEO motor with auto box, ecu and harness

would it then just be a matter of me replacing my engine, ecu and harness (not gearbox).

Is the ecu for the automatic cars "linked" to the gearbox in any way? Or would it just be a matter or fitting a resistor for the shift solenoid?

The R34 TCU is in the ECU.  And that's fine, because it doesn't matter - it will run a manual trans engine happily.  You're going manual right?  Because if you're not, punch yourself in the face and start again.

If you use the R34 ECU you WILL want to get Nistune installed in it, because you will want to kill the error codes caused by not having the right ABS and TCS systems installed in the car. And you WILL want to tune it.  All of which, happily, Nistune enables for you.

Assuming you go Nistune with the R34 auto ECU, which is the smartest option for what you want,  You can turn all the auto specific flags, so the ECU no longer looks for it, therefor you won't see any CEL codes.

    • No. The ECU's hose is for a connetcion between the plenum (assuming single throttle body, not ITBs) and the ECU's internal MAP sensor. This is the primary load measurement of the ECU - so you need to get this one right. This has NOTHING to do with the boost contol. The wastegate also needs to see a boost signal - but it is actually far better for it NOT TO COME FROM THE PLENUM (again, assuming single TB, and not ITBs). This should come from the turbo's compressor housing (assuming there is a nipple on there, which there might well not be), or on the boost pipe somewhere between the turbo and the TB. On the pipe from the turbo to the intercooler is usually most convenient. The boost controller is then located between that boost source and the wastegate, ACCORDING TO THE CORRECT PLUMBING DRAWING FOR THAT BOOST CONTROLLER. There is no general diagram or instruction that will be correct for every case. Then the other ports on the plenum are for purposes such as Duncan described. If the boost controller has an internal MAP sensor, for a boost display, etc, then it will want to be hooked up there, alongside the ECU and the FPR.
    • Ok gotcha, so one post to fpr  another to bov  and I have the mishimoto boost controller and a link g4+ so I’d just have the tuner set it up properly. For the last two from plenum post throttle to  ecu/ boost controller, I know that I have a hose coming from the ecu that I was confused about so I assume that’s what connect to the boost controller from the ecu? And then the last is just from plenum to boost controller then to wastegate?
    • From there, it was just a quick electrical check, prime the oil and start her up Which, is not what happened. 1. Bloody seppo Aeropro battery holder. Not only was it too tall for the battery (which I'll forgive them for, I have another battery the same nominal size that is taller than Neil's one, but the bracket is a fixed height so the battery was spaced up) But the thing that really shits me is the hardware to hold it on requires a 7/32 Hex key. WTF. No-one will ever be able to remove or install the damn thing without a hex key they don't own 2. Kill switch no longer worked once the console was installed. Neil mentioned above he had to adjust the length but it no longer cleared the console once installed. Sorted. 3. Suspiciously, the brake light holders were hanging in the boot with no globes. Sure enough the stopper on the brake pedal was missing so they are always on unless the kill switch is activated. Will pick one up tomorrow (turns out 32 and 33 don't use the same stopper) 4. All that sorted, I turned on the kill switch, turned the key to ACC. Nothing. Turned it to IGN. Nothing. Checked some fuses and found the main IGN in the boot was missing which improved things once it was replaced. Now ECU and dash lights turn on with IGN but still no fuel pump. 5. Turned it to Start....ECU on, no fuel pump, no starter. Plus the voltage dropped straight to 9v.  I suspect the starter is f**ked but am going to have to work through it all and see what is happening, really looks like more than one issue. Does anyone have the R33 fuse box key with the circuit it sources from (eg BAT, ACC, IGN, SRT etc) and supplies? I can find a translated list showing Amps and circuit without supply circuit, and I can find supply circuit without Amps and target circuit.
    • 3rd time lucky, the AAC is now all plumbed up after getting some final fittings All set up under the plenum of maximum access
