The easiest thing to do would be to find a complete turbo engine, with all the control modules, and swap it in. Once it's in there, you could then start looking for turbo upgrades.

If you were to source a turbo separately, you'd have to fabricate the pipes, modify the intake manifold, and source/install a new engine management system.

Much easier and cost efficient to get one that's already done.

hmmm so basically i need to drop in a rb25 skyline engine

[zbane]

sure, you could go that route...if you have about 5,000 bucks to spare... or you could source an L28et motor from a turbo ZX...

yeah but how much would that run see all i want is a stock turbo engine i like the way the rb25 looks i first wanted a r34 engine to put in it but i couldnt find one but im not really looking for high hp right now all i want is like 250 to 300 hp and i love the way a turbo engine sounds
