Hidden Turbo!

[Stealthynsa]

hi guys im on my P's and i cant drive a turbo car i got caught with my r33 turbo'd so i took it off since i lost my licence for it...

ive tried thinking of ways to hide it so i can still have some decent performance, i tried searching google for other people ideas and i found this video from youtube...

tell me what u guys think and how did he set this up because i would love to do it since cops would never look there for a turbo...

or if u have any other ways i can hide a turbo and get away with it please tell me

also they say on this video u wouldnt need a cooler since the turbo is so far away from the engine and cold air just keeps bushing past it...

please post serious comments on what ive said as i like to do this setup or a better 1 if u guys know any other ways i can hide a turbo setup

Without viewing video.

I'm thinking: Remote turbo location. Somewhere near the rear of the car.

Think lag.

Cops will just follow long piping and find it.

Plus your car is turbo from factory I'm assuming (GTS-t) so if you take the turbo off, the car is STILL on the banned list (As all of a sudden you've done an engine performance modification.)

my car is an R33 GTS "non turbo" i just turned it into a turbo engine, but then i changed it back during my licence suspension

and i wouldnt care if i had turbo lag it would still be faster then a normal n/a car right or wrong?

plus u could hide the intake piping put it through another that looks like stock plastic piping and then cut a hole and curv it out through the bottom and it will not be seen?

I have seen a successful rear mounted turbo setup but why??

There are other ways to make power out of an NA RB motor that would be probably legal in your case and what we used to do before turbos came along!

Go Old/New school! Modify your top half of the Intake manifold to run individual tuned trumpets and up the compression ratio more. As its already an NA its prob high anyway.

Fit decent extractors and new cams and adjustable gears to suit. Tune ECU.

Have you ever driven a powerful NA car with razor sharp throttle response!?

You would probably never put a turbo back on when your off your P's!

PS, Didnt say it would be cheap!

lol yeah its sounds ok but i dont wanna pay that much

seeing though i already have a turbo, manifold, boost control, boost gauge, that can be used with the remote setup... plus i have the dump pipe and intercooler for when i get off my P's

mate if you want insurance on this thing and u hit something expensive kiss ur claim good bye..

[-_-StRyDeR-_-]

if you have already been done by the cops for driving a car your not allowed to, then they will be keeping a close watch on you when your back on the road, especially if your still seen driving the same car they booked you in. why not just wait out your 2-3yrs and modify the NA, pay off the car, save some money. then when your off a restricted licence go crazy on a turbo'd car.

yeah its easy to say that but i cant stand losing power and also races since i took the turbo setup off, it may come off stupid but i want to have to feeling of driving a turbo car i cbf waiting 2 more years my car doesnt look the same since the looks are being changed atm since a stupid truck reverse into my parked car.

you are talking "races" at the drags?

[Stealthynsa]

no i wouldnt drive a turbo car where cops wait for u.

just me and mates cruising, some street meets ect

[-_-StRyDeR-_-]

owell, personally i wouldnt go spending money to 'hide' a turbo, cause the cops will find it, not all cops are as dumb as they look (yes i know alot are dumb, but occasionally you get one that acually owns a skyline or just knows his mechanics)

my 2cents, il leave it at that.

but if you do it, post pics, as im a tad curious where abouts you will mount it and how the car will run. (you might have that much lag you'l be better off with the NA lol)

lol maybe. im not 100% going to do it, its just a setup i seen and i was curious if anyone know info about it or has tried this before

.... sell the skyline.

Otherwise, you'll just keep getting pulled over, and even remote turbos will still be noisy. They'll find it.

If you're that desperate, get a NOS kit. Or better yet, strap on the rocket engines to the roof (aka myth busters) then light the bitches up!

Or even better, spend the same amount that you'd be spending on mods on a CAMS license and import a race only car. That way you can drive something ludicrously fast, with a concrete barrier stopping you from running people over.

I have seen the way this guy drives around.He's one of those guys that give skyline owners a bad name. Race at the creek and not every set of lights you come across.
