Mate I'd go the SR20DET out of either RWD silva's or Pulsar GTIR these things go as hard as skyline motors when built propaly.I've got pics of a Pulsar GTIR with 334kw at all four wheels. Your best bet is a half-cut silvas will be cheaper thn GTIR probably $5000 for one but that gets you almost everything yuo'll need. Then All you need is someone to put in.
yeh but i dont have $5000 to play with... i want to keep it simple and my rb30 is a series 2 out of a skyline, my mate has a turbo out of some little suzuki ricebox he said hed sell me for $300 so ill need a vl turbo manifold, i want to keep this motor it has been fully reconditioned, from the mechanics that i haved talked to they said i could run the small turbo on that engine at about 9psi without any troubles but i would need some extra things to get it to work, they all said i could get it all plus install for around $1500 which is more close my budget. thats why i need a list of the things so i can just say right well i need this,this and this its gonna cost me this much then i can start to hunt it all down

Oh sorry mate i thought you wanted a whole motor didnt read it properly. Is your motor still a single cam?
You could still use the stock inlet manifold. but you'll need a turbo exhaust manifold, dump pipe, turbo, a new ecu(can you reprogram Vl's?), maybe a small intercooler, depending on how much boost you run, BOV depends if the turbo has an internal wastegate. I not to sure on what else but thats the basics.
Depending on the size of the turbo and how much boost you have you'll start running short on things. Fuel bieng a prob and spark another. A higher rated fuel pump bigger injectors better coils and ignition that sort of stuff.
oh ok kool i dont have the stock inlet manifold coz i have extractors and the cam is stock

Dont bother going anything smaller than a T3.
You will be just wasting your money.
