E-Series.. Turbo 6 or Worked 8

[zebu]

in order of awesomeness according to me
worked 8
worked 6
forced 8
forced 6

nothing alerts the fuzz like the smell of a turbo and we need that sort of attention like a hole in the head

also dicking about with getting it engineered for a turbo so its all nice and legit vs worked 6/8 looking like a stock box when you open the bonnet.

if you do it right, nobody is sure you have done anything at all _2:

Make it an R34 or BNR32 GTR both cheap these days!

Or if you want a 4 door still get a JZX100 Chaser (1JZ-GTE VVTI, auto or manuall) or Aristo (2JZ-GTE, auto). That would be my choices.

This thread got me thinking over night. There are a number of nice little R32's around for between 10-15K at the moment, a couple with GTR body kits and sunroofs. I'm a bit bored with my XR8 so might offload it when I'm back in Melbourne to fund a new project. An R32 is looking good. I can get my EF back to stock for use as a beater and maybe even transplant some of the bits like the bigger turbo and FMIC to the R32. Add a nice set of wheels to the equation and for under 20K I've got a solid performer that looks good and is a tonne of fun. Zero cop trouble too.

Sounds like a formula that might work for you TickfordXR.

Its funny you should mention that.... i think my search is over.. This whole time the answer has been sitting right infront of my face.......... R32 GTR!!!

Good stuff mate! Hop on www.skylinesaustralia.com - there's heaps of good info there, and usually a few nice GTR's for sale too.

work that 6... look at the power people are getting out out of them with basic parts. god forbid when u put forged rods and pistons in there, port the head, run race fuel and a tumultuous turbo. instant torque then turbo whack that a sub 4litre cannot deliver.

Things is if you put a highmount big fuuck off turbo on the R32 then you are basically in the same position as owning a turbo EF/EL if you get EPA'd.

As you would have to remove aftermarket ECU, turbo, injectors etc and replace it with stock gear to pass EPA. Also remembering that Skylines, S13's & 200sx's are constantly targeted by traffic cops. Just something to think about ;)

Depending on your power goal you can get hiflowed stock turbos or replacement turbos that bolt straight on the factory manifold, so it will at least still appear stock.

I have retained the stock twin turbo setup (rebuilt with steel wheels & high flowed) on my JZZ30 and they are good for up to 270-280rwkw before their out of their efficiency range.

Good choice mate, now you just have to find the right one. If you can find one with a rebuilt engine or new/reconditioned/aftermarket turbos as there getting pretty old now and having these already done will be a massive bonus as there not cheap to rebuild!

Either that, or buy one with a stuffed engine. There's been quite a few complied R32 GTR's pop up with blown motors for under 12k - do that, rebuild or go an R33 spec RB26, and you've solved the biggest risk/problem with buying a 32 GTR.

nice choice.

+ vote on turbo, no broken belts, better power and more adjustable, you cant turn a supercharger up or down.

Id have to say the turbo six would be the best and coolest option :P

Thats my oppinion though.

[Royal Blue]

considering it has a dev5 engine, id supercharge it that way you get to keep your cam. i pretty sure that the DEV5 cam wouldn't respond to well to a turbocharger, but correct me if im wrong.
