Basic set-up

GTT injectors (or equivalent top-feed items)

GTT fuel pump (or equivalent high-flow pump)

GTT intercooler piping and I/C (the R33 set can be adapted fairly easily, basically the same)

Crossover pipe + BOV (will need to cut this down if you use it) other option is to use an aftermarket BOV and steel elbow.

R34 or R33 turbo + exhaust manifold

R34 or R33 dump and front pipe (R33 one will need modding to fit as it is too short)

Exhaust is a must, the stock one is very narrow

Most importantly engine management! Depending on if you go manual or auto will decide what you put in…this is the most important bit as the car won’t even think about running if you don’t have it right

Basically a lot of the things above can be substituted for after-market gear, but if you want to do it quickly and economically just grab bits from a stock car that you know will fit.

I don't think I've missed anything, if I have give me a shout.

Here are some pictures of the engine in my old car (all the bits are from an R33)

thanks dan

ok here is the way i propose to do it when i get around to it

firstly i will have an auto coz i cant be ****ed with manuals anymore (living in town makes you lazy)

ok anyway i think i would get a neo turbo engine and ecu

rip out the n/a

swap over the sump etc onto the turbo engine and whack it in

throw in the turbo ecu

install a front mount, upgraded fuel pump, aftermarket fuel management

3 - 3.5 exhaust system

get it tuned

have a fun day :D

actually wouldnt even need the turbo engine ecu if i was getting aftermarket would i

You cannot fit the front drive sump onto a normal RWD turbo engine, the blocks are very different around the pan rails (much wider).

The only replacement engine that will drop straight in is the RB26.

If you want a turbo 4WD RB25 you will need to rebuild your existing engine with turbo pistons to lower the compression ratio.

The only replacement engine that will drop straight in is the RB26.
Not really, there are a few guys selling the NEO RB25DET 4WD drivetrain out of series 2 stageas...tiptronic boxes on them too :D Very easy transplant, honestly your best option.

    • Could someone post some pictures of the factory Jack , tools, spare tire and how they were in a 1998 ER34 2 door skyline originally?
    • UPDATE: Hi all!  As we are getting towards the end of this thread where I’ll showcase final dyno numbers and graph, I wanted to provide an update. Tao from HyperGear has done an amazing job building the custom divided T3 housing for the G30. Communication was flawless, price was great, and now the housing is estimated to arrive in 7-10 days! Very very pleased. I must add, if someone is looking for an affordable turbo and end up reading this thread, I would recommend HyperGear. Genuine brands are the way to go as their proven reliability, predictable performance, and there’s a plethora of information available for specs, flow, and more. This HyperGear recommendation is based on their excellent communication, dedication, and willingness to listen to their customers. I particularly liked their ability to create custom adaptations tailored to specific needs, which is a HUGE benefit over other brands. And if we consider the HyperGear provided dyno results, it adds reassurance knowing their turbos can compete against genuine brands. Next update will be after the dyno!  
    • I've previously seen people post up "dress up bolt kits" for RBs but don't remember seeing them specify the full contents. I can only really suggest you grab the verniers and start measuring, and keep in mind the cam cover and timing cover bolts are both quite specific with a wider unthreaded section where the bushes sit, that will make it hard to get aftermarket replacements which tend to be all thread (set screws) or for longer bolts a flat section with a shorter threaded section at the end
    • I believe there was a similar one posted by @duggyphresh. They were re-routing their battery positive cable in the way I am also trying to achieve. Sorry, I’m new to this forum, so was a bit late to the party by a few months and so reignited the old thread, as I wanted to know how they got on with doing it.
    • Wasn't there a thread on this very subject just a few weeks ago?
