DIY turbo fitment

[Contradictress]

I am looking to purchase a new HKS 2530 kit for my R32 GTR. How difficult is it to fit the turbos myself? I am also intending to fit injectors, FMIC, Nismo/HKS fuel pump and Blitz SBC iD III boost controller. I would like to undertake as much of the work as possible myself and then have it tuned on a dyno with the PFC that I have installed.

Also if I bolt all the above parts on should I be able to start and run the car with the base map on the PFC?

Any advice/help would be appreciated.

You should be able to start the car fine with the base map and take it to the dyno for tuning.

That's all good, but it is VERY different to changing the turboS on an RB26. Changing the twins on the RB26 is a lot more work. I'd suggest that unless you are very good mechanically, have plenty of space and tools, have friend/s to help that you take it to a workshop.

Even a good mechanic devoting all his time to the job (and has done it before) it will take the best part of his day to swap the turbos.

Also with the injectors you may/may not be able to run the car on a base tune as all the injector related settings will be completely wrong (even my PFC tuned to run 550cc injectors, when I put the 700's in just blew black smoke everywhere when you even lightly touched the throttle).

Id say do the turbos yourself (if as above, you have lots of time, space and tools), do the FMIC yourself, do the boost controller yourself and leave the rest to whoever is tuning the car.
