My brother just did an SR20DET transplant into his pulsar, cost him about $2500 for engine, clutch, boost controller etc... But we did the swap ourselves.
Lisa: Dad, we did something very bad! Homer: Did you wreck the car? Bart: No. Homer: Did you raise the dead? Lisa: Yes. Homer: But the car's okay? Bart & Lisa: Uh-huh. Homer: All right then.

Have you crapped your pants driving it yet?  ;D or has he been sleeping in the car?

dont be suprised with that figure. it all adds up in the end. people ask me what it costs to put a sr20det in their pintara and i tell them put aside at least $8g's for the basic conversion. its a bit cheaper if your just bolting on a turbo to a pintara if u dont toch internals. its no easy task. u have to think about engine management, fuel system, engine compressions, new exhaust, custom intercooler kit, turbo manifold and turbo plus all other bits associated with turbos etc. then add labour on top of all that....$$$....its no small job

What about a low boost turbo (2-9psi) with no cooler running stock interinals ?

There seam to be a lot of people running half ass turbo jobs to save on cost's and yet still get some power gain, i don't know how much they save but if i ever went turbo way that's how id start. You'd have to ask these guys about that however since some cars have problems even reaching 4psi stock

as for running low boost, with the standard wastegate setups on turbos, the least boost you could run would be round 7psi. anything under that and you wouldnt feel much at all. and as for running a turbo on a stock n/a motor with no intercooler, you would have to be stupid. with the high compression the motor produces it is the first thing you would want to do or your gonna have a nice set of melted pistons sooner or later. i dont think theres any point turboing a n/a motor unless you are gonna build it to handle more boost and hp. i reckon your just better off putting a turbo motor in it as they are built to take power ;)

yeah, 2nd hand intercoolers are cheap & a lot of them do a good job & it wont put the cost of the turbo setup up much further.. you just have to shop around..

compression wise both the ca20e & ka24e are low enough to take boost nicely.. but as with all cars there is a limit as to how much boost/power you can run.

ah i dont think it has anything to do with teamnse at all champ.. you see there is this thing in melbourne going on called "drive right" and basically you have to drive sensibly all the time, and display a sticker similar to the one in sssgtr's sig (but obviously not the same) also, if you look at the top of the sticker section, you will notice the letters "SAU" which is the skylines australia club.

here is a link for you about drive right..

I see... I just saw the team n3rd, and didn't really understand the rest.  In that case nice sig sssgtr  ;) .  I'll shut up now.
