hey luke how much do u think a full conversion wwoudl cost from n/a to vlt just a rough price dude thanx mark :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Does anyone have part numbers, or places off supply where I could find the little banjo bolts needed to secure the oil lines from a T3 to the engine block? Also water lines + T piece needed for water lines? Much appreciated - Ozperformance forums rock btw!

i know dont they man lol i luv it some of the stuff u find is just one of a kind heheh good work boyz :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

as for cost add it up shouldnt be too bad if you get some bits cheap this is what i have seen some parts go for as an example ECU $150 injectors $200 crossover pipe $80 air flow meter to turbo ducting metal & plastic piping $100 detonation sensor & wiring $50 (get from NZ) exhaust manifold $150 turbocharger $500 dump pipe & exhaust $600 (proper exhaust) oil & water lines for turbocharger ???????????

Has anyone done an N/A to Turbo conversion with the Series 1 Engine? I hear that it is quite a pain in the ass compared to the Series 2? :?

yes you have to get the oil and water galleries drilled and tapped into the block which i would imagine would involve reducing motor to a bare block which would defeat the purpose of converting it

oh really, its not that difficult there are other ways to get an oil and water feed than straight from the galleries..... plenty of non factory turbo cars are converted you know....

Much appreciated - Ozperformance forums rock btw! heres a few part numbers , i got em from holden direct gm - 1519159s00 - that is the little oil return connector (screws into bottom of block) gm - 16432v5300 - that is the water gallery(in block) banjo bolt gm - 1643217f00 - that is the oil banjo bolt i think these are the correct references.

COSTS?????

The costs can very it depends on from who and where you get your parts from and how complete you actually want to make the conversion.

beleive it or not but the oil return connector is about $50 from holden , im sure u could get one from a hoses and fittings kind of shop the banjo bolts are about $7 each tops

Carcrazy site will be back, might team up with OVL087 and make up a detailed step by step list and some pics too, we have both done proper build ups.

i spose i could lend a hand has a certain cd been sent to mark yet? lost in the mail about 6 months ago was it hehehehe

Quote: we have both done proper build ups thats debateable Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

me like a lot of poeple are doing this conversion now i have been doing it slowly for while now have been taking a few pics along the way 2 so if anyone wants some advice pm me im happy to pass on what i know and if ya want any pics fell free to ask as for a documented conversion there used to be a really good one its gone now and i cant remember the addres or who did it ops: but i herd sin took it over but u know how rumors are anyways i took a print out of the site so i have it and its full of good info so like i said any questions just ask Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

do you need to put the detonation sensor?? i thought you could go with out?? is it on sII N/A motors? Also i thought you could use N/A injectors and an N/A ECU if you don't lift the boost above 9ish? Also everyone's forgetting about Gaskets...

i think wihtout the detonation sensor the turbo ecu would retartd the timeing becouse it is getting no signal from it as far as i know in australia it only came out on turbos but in nz it was more wide spread and was on some atmo motors as for running the n/a computer and injextors i have been told that the flow on the n/a computer is not good enuf for a turbo and detonation will most likely happen i could be wrong but this is what i have read and been told bay a few people Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

i didnt put the det sensor in , i have one though. i wouldnt suggest using n/a gear at all. especially at 9 pound and as for gaskets , genuine nissan gaskets for everything not just the head gasket.

Im doing the conversion aswell.. ::hrthound:: the injectors and the ECU will work seficiantly with the turbo.. the injectors have no difference between them as i had my injectors rebuild by a pro, he said there is no diference in pressure of type or injecting patern.. and told me that my injectors are ready for a turbo.. as for the ECU it will be ok aslong as ur not runing it at 13/15 pound + And jst a qustion.. the N/A plenime. will it have any air leaks coming out of it anywere at 10 / 7 pound ???

I dont know about the injector & ECU thing im sure someone more knowledgable will be able say more about that, myself i put VLT ECU & injectors in straight away, i wouldnt have done the conversion without them. With the N/A plenuum ive been using it from the start also and havent experienced any problems with it either, it would be no different leak wise to a VLT plenuum, just make sure all your hoses, gaskets, fittings and connections are in good shape or brand new. Also i dont think the ECU will retard or alter the timing if the knock sensor isnt there, i could be wrong.
