Like any other mod, it depends on how much effort you put in to it and what your aim is. If you just stick the turbo on and wind the boost up, something's going to break sooner rather than later.

I know people who have turbocharged NA engines to good effect. The throttle response is a lot crisper than a stock FI engine, and it makes more power and torque than a NA engine.

Of course, there's a limit to the amount of boost that he could run with a NA bottom end but since they weren't chasing big power numbers the thing worked just fine.

When he pulled the engine apart again a few months later, the bottom end showed little wear and tear.

So, what do you want to do? Do you want to make the big numbers that modified RB25DET-from-the-factory people are making? Or do you just want more power than NA without losing your bottom end tractability, but also not sacrificing response?

i just want more power than NA without losing bottom end and tractability and also not sacrificing response.

is there a kit for that?

Stock r34 Gt-t or else something small like a HKS gt2510 or gt2530.

But remeber when putting a turbo on an n/a engine you should do the following

1) buy turbo injectors

2) buy some-sort of I/C (can be stock or aftermarket fmic)

3) Turbo Fuel Pump (or aftermarket one)

4) Somesort of ecu (safc2 is fine or pfc is you really want to spend the money)

This 4 mods will help make the na to turbo engine much more safer. i have a friend in perth who turbo his n/a r33 using stock r33 turbo and has made just around 270rwhp (he is running abit of boost, fmic, turbo injectors, safc2, full-exhuast, air filter)

hope that helps :P

Michael :(

p.s i just remember it is also a good idea to upgrade your brakes from n/a to turbo brakes (even if its just the front)

    • I buy my wheel cleaner in 4 litre bottles now. Euro brakes are brutal
    • Sounds like it may all just be some baseless outrage stoked by the carexplore guy? As in the linked social media outrage on facebook just goes back to carexplore as a source again. Further shown by the council response that nothing actually has changed: "The Private Land Use Permit has been part of the Casey Community Local Law for a number of years. It's important to clarify that this permit is not new, and no changes have been made to the permit or the Local Law in relation to the permit." The full council response in Prank's link sounds reasonable to me. Saying that as someone who neither lives there nor has a front yard to call their own  
    • Clutch hydraulics are also all good, looks like a brand new slave cylinder and everything bled up well. No idea what the actual clutch is, and I don't intend to pull the box off on the floor to find out, so unless we have trouble on the dyno or at shakedown that will remain a mystery for the new owner
    • Front brakes are G4 8 pot calipers over 330mm discs with braided lines. Everything looks good, pretty sure these are off my old 350. Pads are brand new and judging from gold colour are Winmax which is what I also run on my race car, Neil and I both sourced brake stuff from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney who really knows his stuff Everything has bled up nicely with all new Motul RBF600 fluid, there were 2 loose hard line connections and the calipers were new on the car so I ended up doing it 3 times but it is perfect now
    • So, starting with the rear brakes. They look like standard R33 GTST, and will need new pads shortly (less than 5mm material, probably only 1 day left). The slotted discs (probably DBA) are near new at 18.01mm and the lines are braided
