Rb30 N/A Conversion to ET Questions Thanks fellas

[detox_nath83]

Ok Lads just a few questions regarding a conversion to turbo from an N/A

Firstly the N/A Auto Trans: will this hold up with the extra power i am delivering.
Possibly install a trans cooler or have it rebuilt stronger be adequate?

Can i Use N/A Injectors and ECU (low boost prob 6-7 safe?)for the conversion temporary untill i get a hold of the Turbo injectors and ECU (Is this plug and play). i have read that i may have to change a pin for the fuel pump to work????? or not

Should i install a Rising Fuel Rate Regulator as well after the factory reg?

Also chasing 3" Intercooler piping to suit N/A intake plenum over the rocker cover. or can i get one cheap somewhere.
I have a MIG welder at work maybe source bends and straight pipe and make my own.

Turbo Oil Return appropriate Piping as in fuel safe/heat safe where can i get some from and what ID is appropriate 10mm Id???

Thanks guys appreciate your help.

If you're lucky, yes - if not, you can rebuild it stronger once it's bust.

I think the pin for fuel pump is when putting a VLT ecu into a skyrine. - yes you 'can' run a na ecu and injectors on low boost - but retard the timing on the dizzy by a few degrees, and run high octane fuel. this will be the 'safest' thing you can do until you upgrade to vlt.

keep in mind, you can get the n/a ecu remapped to suit bigger injectors and get a tune done on it at just over the price of a vlt ecu.

Should i install a Rising Fuel Rate Regulator as well after the factory reg?

nope. - not if you're going to get vlt injectors/ecu, or vlt injectors and a remap.

"GK tech" cooler kit. looks pretty, and made on machines in china then imported - so nice and cheap.

Enzed/pirtek. the thread on the block is 3/4" BSP from memory? (double check as i'm not 100%!!) - you can run a right angle threaded barb and a bent (but not kinked) hose onto your metal pipe that comes down from the turbo.

cant agree more on the GKtech
for the price its good and can flow up to 350rwkw apparently, fits perfect and no holes need cutting

its 3/4" BSP tappered barb
as for the pipe i couldnt find the size and oil resistant one so i used a 90 degree bend from a coolant pipe
it will get soggy eventually but ill just replace it

Thanks heaps for your reply fellas thats awsome.
One thing i have a high mount turbo manifold
with the GKteck will it be in the way?? possibly
