What is needed for turbo

[mash]

I have a R33 GTS auto. I just want to know what parts and work i need to put in a turbo.

[ex-static]

Probably be a better idea to do what doxx did.. he bought a half cut and dropped a whole rb25det into his car..

well he will do.

[mash]

Which way is better, cheaper?

[dAVE]

dont know about costs, but the way exstatic mentioned is better. If you turbo a RB25de, you will never get the same power as if you dropped in a rb25det due to compression etc.

Squizz from qld did it in his rb20de just using an rb20det head , manifold , turbo etc.. He said he did it for around $1000, and that was fairly cheap. You would be looking at around $3500 I would think to drop in a rb25det.

Will a R34 engine work? I saw one at a wreckers the other week. And would it matter if its auto or manual?

You can get half cuts usually with the gearbox as well.

damn right i will do it!

yeah mash i think its better getting the halfcut, thats if u wanna stick with auto and u can find an auto gtst halfcut. and you also get front breaks, shocks that u can sell, dash and some other cool nifties

if u wanna go manual, ask meggala he had an auto single spinning r32 gts, he done a full gtst manual conversion with lsd and all and the car is damn cool

[mash]

I have no intention of sticking with a silly little auto. The only reason i got an auto was because i wanted the car so badly and couldnt wait to save some more cash.

Now i am beginning to get just a little bored of it. The kick-down doesnt give me thrills anymore

thats cool, go for a halfcut comes with manual transmition, all the pedals etc but yeah might cost a bit extra because ur gonna have to install the pedals and stuff im not really sure though

[mash]

I will start shopping around then

[mash]

Didnt get my question answered. WOuld an engine from a R34 fit in a 33?

[mash]

Another option. How about selling the one i got and just buy a stock R33GTSt. It wouldnt cost much more than doing the full conversion would it.

[doxximus]

depends on the situation we are in now with these lovely lovely import laws theres things like by the time u sell ur car the new laws will be in so it will be more expensive thn just doing the conversion, or if u buy off someone from here it might be expensive because they either know of the new laws coming in or they are asking for a bit more money

i mean there are very nice examples down here but they might be hard to find

buy ex-tatics car, its leet!

[mash]

That would be nice.

Your right, anyway i am not thinking of doing anything until the end of this year. Need to know what happens with work. My contract expires around that time.

[ex-static]

Yea, doxx is right... you should buy my car

[mash]

Anyone else agree??

[ex-static]

EVERYONE agrees man.. its your fate.

[mash]

Just to satisfy my curiosity, i checked it out, not bad, very, very tempting.

[dAVE]

to answer your question, yes you could use an rb25det from a r34... or an rb26dett

... or you could buy my car

[meggala]

be brave go the rb26 dett I wish I did
