Thread: Need help

I came across a good deal on a gtir motor but i never intend 2 go this route. The only thing it has no manifold n turbo but i have a t25 setup that i was going 2 use 4 my intial build. If i put it on the gtir motor wat problems may i run into? Or should i b aware of or may need extra. And also i had brought a ebay intercooler setup 4 the t25 setup n dont feel like i wasted my money so if its possible i like 2 use it . But if i cant let me kno. Thanks in advance

As long as you have all of the T25 stuff: Manifold, Turbo, J-Pipe, Water & Oil Lines you'd be good to go. You will just have less power and a lower max boost.

The intercooler setup for the T25 will work - thou you will have to modify your cold pipe as the Intake manifold inlet is in a different location.

Thanks alot Lam-Park. But im not feeling the part about having less power, but ill do it and in the mean time find a t28.

T25 is fun for a daily car.

My 96 has had a stockish U12 SR20DET in it for the last 10+ years. On stock boost it more than enough to get me around town and still get decent mileage 300+/tank - turn the EBC on and hit Scramble Boost and it becomes a real fun car.

My 94 has had a stockish N14 SR20DET in it since the late 90's. On 17 psi, I'm lucky to get 200 miles to the tank and it is driven with a much heavier foot and make a reliable 300ish WHP.

Having driven 500+ WHP cars, it comes down to where do you want your power. Personally I'm inpatient and want it right away so a quick spooling turbo is my preference. I'm not the type to rev out to 7K+ on the regular or wait till 4.5k+ for serious boost to kick in.

If you are going with the 54C engine, I would run the T25 for now since you have it, then find a Disco or other ball bearing turbo to upgrade to. Upgrading to a T28 can have a high cost vs. reward ratio so that route may not be worth it. For slightly more you should be able to find a good GT or other Ball Bearing turbo. Stock internals on the 54C are good to 450ish whp in my opinion as long as all has been well maintained.

mbc ftw....you will enjoy it. garrentteed

Thanks for the info guys. I was reading and they said you have to make the holes bigger in the flywheel for the bolts? and also I have to tap into the purple wire on the ignition? wat other little things I may not know to get the car running with out problems?

Drill the flywheel for the 54C bolts if your are running a 32 or 70 series trans with stock size flywheel

If you are using a non N14 54C ECU, flip the 2 outer TPS wires

Use the stock single wire coolant temp gauge sensor so that your stock gauge works.

What model series are you swaping into ?

Im swaping it in 2 a b13 with my orginal b13 tranny. N where can i find the termnology that ur using like 32 or 70 series or n14,54c n all that cuz im lost when it comes 2 that bcus i hvent got 2 serious untill now with it. So please 4 give me

Rnn14-pulsar gtir chasis
54c- gtir engine code
Tps- throttle position sensor
btw I say ditch the t25 and go t3. You will not regret it

32 series = 91->99 B13/B14/P10/P11 trans
70 series = 00->02 P11/B15 trans

N14 = JDM Pulsar
RNN14 = JDM Pulsar GTi-R

54C = Head code on GTi-R Engine - Most people refer to the entire engine as 54C

@ga16eats mentions these but figured I'd fill in the rest.
