Hey guys, Im after all the necessary turbo conversion parts in PERTH. Ive found parts for sale in the eastern states but dont really know if i can trust people selling me stuff from over there.
Ive gone into a Performance shop and was told it would cost about $4000 to $5000 for the conversion?? Whereas on someones site (http://home.iprimus.com.au/chris_white82/) it says it can cost a LOT less.
So yeah, if anyone has parts I need PM me or email: [email removed]
Any info would be cool

Hey mate hows it going.
I am in sitting and waiting for some time stage to convert my car to a turbo as I have the parts. You can get heaps of gear off teh for sale section, get delivered COD you wont have any probs with guys on here they aren't gonna screw you around. You might have to be prepared to pay to get some of the gear though as it is slowly becoming harder to come by, your best bet is to get from over east, coz it is well hard to get the gear over here.
seriously mate dont bother with that crap just buy a full rb30et for say $1500 and spend $700 on a rebuild kit, then spend another $1000 on labour and parts etc
personally id do wot ur thinkin of doing... n/a turbo convo.... she will go like a bullet......... dont worry about getting a turbo plenium, stick with ur standard. If you got any questions, pm me and ive got a mate whos just done this.. goes like a shower of **** ! dont bother if ur gunna **** me around tho!

Thanks fellas
Yeah I would buy parts from over east but im not sure if id get ripped or not, like the parts may be worn heaps, broken etc that may be why they are selling?
I like the idea of buying the whole engine and then work from there. Id just get one from a wreckers or the qoukka etc right?
Anyway thanks again guys Ill see what i can find
Brian
If ur lucky u could get an almost complete car from a wrecker, That way u can get things like the diff, g/box and RW disc brakes. Then u could sell what evers left back to the wrecker u bought it off. All depends on how much money u got.
Is there any company around perth in particular that has whole RB30ET's for around $1500 that ya know of?
Or do you just mean they can be had outta the quokka/wrecker etc for that much?
Hey guys, Ive found a complete turbo engine but its a VG30ET. Are these any good?? The dude said it all works and is in good condition but doesnt include the actual turbo.
Ill be getting some aftermarket injectors with it aswell, all up $1000.
YES, NO??
And im gonna call up about a RB20DET for $700 but im not sure the condition or what comes with it yet.
Brian
OK I called up about the RB20DET. This is complete, runs fine and comes with a turbo and a few other parts. But the only thing is its obviously a 2 litre and was wondering how these go? Im kinda down grading a bit arent I?
Brian....
well the vg30 is out of a 300zx and i think yourl have some fun trying to mount it into your engine bay (not too sure), alot of people have put rb20s in there vls(there were some manufactored in new zealand from factory) , ive seen em keep up with 3L (they can rev heaps harder)
if the rb20 is in good nic and is 700 i think youd better better off bying that personally (just rememeber you have to get the computer to run it), and need knoledge of the wiring diagrams to wire them up, but im sure someone on the forum would be able to help you out
i also think people on this sight would know more knowlegde on the rb20 tham the vg30
brain that rb20 ur talk about, is it NICS? if it is id pass on it. if you can find a rb20 ECC well then there alot beta. im sure we would all agree, if you could, find a car thats already got wot you want, ull save HEAPS. Ive spent bulk over the last 2 years, and spent another 4k on the car this last week!!!!!!!
there all good engines, rb20s will pull like a train with right mods, same with rb30! but if ur thinkin of wanting more than 340 horses @ wheels than rb30, 25 or even 26 is tha way to go!
hope that helps!
