Has Anyone Tried....

[dreamaaa]

I know there are many threads about 25gt turbo conversions etc

overall the conversion would seem like a fun project but in the end id probably prefer the performance i could get from modifying a stock 34gtt.

anyway my point is has anyone here with a gtt removed the turbo and components and raised the compression ratio?

im starting to think it might be getting a bit more popular because there are so many of those on their p's still and looking to drive a gtt but at the moment can only drive a non turbo.

if so how much would it cost to raise the compression ratio? and what else is involved.

All help appreciated, Brad.

ps. id hate to buy a 25gt now and sell it in 1.5 years time and have the cost depreciated and have to fork out more for the turbo car.

also id hate to go through selling my car that i would be attached to, for the same model car and worry about their differences etc...

Ive got a feeling that you will still get pulled up because as far as the police and government are concerned ur car is still a GTT, and im sure in their database it will come up as a turbo when they run ur plates. So id be looking into the legalities of it all before planning the build (or is it an un-build???)

Otherwise i think kids would be trying all kinds of crazy "stealth" remote mounted hidden turbo conversions on their cars.

But if im wrong, and it would be P legal and you want an interesting project go for it.

well i would go to the rta to find out. and get whatever papers i need.

also engineers slips once the UN-build is done..

and tbh its not the cops im that worried about. its the insurance companies ahaha if i crashed and they tried to not pay up.....

As far as main roads and cops go, if you have the better vehicle (V8 turbo or supercharged) and you reduce it back to the base model, as in V6, non-turbo or non-supercharged, they dont care.

The vehicle says its a turbo car, then thats that! Sorry.. It is, and always will be that class of car even if the parts are not there.

Insurance? hmm, I would not want to guess on that one, you are lowering its performance, but you are modifing it.

It will have the better brakes and suspension though...

[dreamaaa]

yea ahaha im not even going to go there.

best to just wait it out and get a gtt...

unless i get a na 180 or somethign fun to drive for 1.5 years....

If you really want a R34 then just get one and wait it out.

You can do other mods like wheels handing etc

Its still build plated as a turbo, therefore removing the turbo does not make the car legal.

There are 100's of threads on this, and 'ideas' people have thought up, please have a search

Thanks
