Hey guys, I have started a small project and have been gathering some parts and research for some time now. Finally it has started coming together. The Project is about turbo charging a Nissan GA15.5DE. The block is a 1999yr GA16DE and the head is a OBDI GA15DE and I'm using the 1999yr GA16DE intake manifold with injector rail and TB.

The parts allocated for the build are: EMU: Greddy Emanage blue with 3 BAR MAP sensor, injector harness, ignition harness and USB support cable. Turbo: Garrett T28 (from skyline). BOV: Turbo Smart Vee Port. Fuel Pump: JECS (RB20DET pump). FPR: Mallory Ignition 4305m. Air filter: K&N cone filter. Turbo Manifold: Custom made (40 schedule steel). Oil lines - Braided stainless steel lines. Intercooler: FC RX7 stock IC. Injectors: 370cc side feed. Radiator: double core copper/brass. Fan: slim line turbo fan (for radiator). Spark Plugs: NGK IX (heat range 6). Muffler: 2.5" in (free flow).

The compression in the combustion chamber was dropped and the exhaust ports were ported for better flow.

The engine is going in to a Nissan Sunny 4WD B14. Pictures will be uploaded in time to come.



UPDATE
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The original project build had to be modified because some parts were stolen before the install, such parts as the turbo manifold (version 2.0) and (T28 Turbo charger). Currently the Project is in the fine tuning stage and is not totally complete yet. See the (Current Project Setup) below for photos of the most recent work done.

Previous Project Setup

Some low res photos of project in progress:




Head before it was cleaned







Head cleaned just waiting to be ported and worked on






Lowering compression on head






Charlie doing his stuff, wait till u see his project on the road








Copper spray was applied to head just waiting to be placed on the block






Exhaust port ported






Thanks Sheldon for selling me that A class block!!






Head on block








Turbo manifold version 1








Turbo manifold version 2.0






GA16DE intake manifold on the GA15DE head






Scotty_buttons tuning the system






Thats where the GReddy hides





UPDATE


Engine was properly cleaned and painted.







UPDATE



Car was lifted so that engine would be removed from under it.




Engine was lowered from the engine bay. (4wd tranny showed here)




4wd LSD transmission, very big and also heavy.





UPDATE


Project Engine attached to 4wd Transmission.




Project Engine being put in place.

Engine started in car. (with out turbo, maf and some other parts)




NEW ADDITION: FRONT BRAKE UPGRADE

The front rotors and calipers were swapped to the Pulsar (AD22VF) setup.
Brakes holds like wow, I would recommend them to any one seeking better stopping power on their Nissan B13/B14.


Left-Pulsar rotor, Right-Stock rotor.



Left-Pulsar caliper, Right-Stock caliper.

Cleaned and painted with duplicolor paint.



New brake pads were installed and rotor cleaned lightly.








Current Project Setup



Turbo Manifold (Version 3.0) being constructed.





Heat wrap was applied to the turbo manifold, a T25 turbo was used for the new setup.





New front mount intercooler being positioned.





Charlie at work. . . attaching the 2.5'' aluminum piping.











Every thing being put in place.





Blow off valve mounted on piping here.

More to come soon, currently working out the bugs and tuning the system. Stay tuned . . .

I will be following up on your build man. Maybe I can get some pointers for my own.

Good luck

Finally you make the project thread, rel bess project here, everything done properly

i got my eyes on you buddy

Good luck with the project bro

I've got some sneak peaks of his progress thus far, everything seems to be coming along smoothly

Nice project boss! You might suffer a bit with power because its 4WD but she will be fun! Is the car going to be manual or automatic?

Auto for the while, manual soon after

i had this thing on the shelf for a while
i will restart as soon as i see this thing come
this was the real reason for me joining trinituner

nice project man! lol..hope it starts up soon..i cant wait nuh! pics should be up soon..

^^ U serious I does drive ah b-14 in wid ah GA15DE and when I feel d power of ah GA16DE in ah b-13 I nearly shite myself . It was a bigg difference.

ga14 pullin more than a ga16, and i'm darn proud yo!

hahaha..well i drive a couple ga16s..n is either all ah dem poorly maintained..or..ur ga15de poorly maintained..or i jus lucky

Project GA15.5DET pics

sweet

If you had gone with a T28 from the Pulsar GTiR when boost sets in yuh goh have to brace yuh self

yes keep it coming nice

The compression in the combustion chamber was dropped

do you mind giving details

^^ could be a thicker head gasket or pistons were changed I guess..

AFAIK there are no thicker head gaskets for the GA 15, unfortunately.
The only low compression pistons that you can use that have the right length are from the E15 ET and the block needs to be bored some. The head when you look at it has little you can do either. Mind your boost and fuel my 15 graveyard full at teh moment.

i used e15 pistons a time but thaz another story
i wanna know what rods he used

nice project......keep us updated.

Nice project.

Turbo looks a little big for the GA15 though....with low RON gas and all.

just be wary, when porting cylinders on GA engines, the walls are so thin, u can actually develop cracks between the ports

looking like a nice project.

cool project

Hey guys, Sorry for the delay but I have exams and its gonna be over June 8th, so till then! Can't wait to finish this Project and share the info with you all.

Kerron01 , it looks like the turbo in the pic is tilted, wouldnt that cause problems with the oil flow, possibly blowing the seals on the turbo ?

sweet project bro...........good luck!

keep us updated !

*another beast in the makin*

*waiting patiently *

well done man

go forward hard

yer big up man!
i always wanted to a build just like yours so i'm looking forward to seeing your work

great, very impressive
