i have 2 r33 skylines an rb25de and an rb25det and i cant drive the turbo one for another 15 months if i dont get the turbo removed.. can i get a mechanic to do like a turbo/non turbo swap so my non turbo r33 will turn into a turbo and my turbo r33 will turn into a non turbo by swapping over the computers and the extractors and taking out the turbo/intercooler/piping/pod and putting it in my non turbo r33 and taking the k&n air filter i have and putting it in my turbo r33 and get both of the cars tuned??

i know there is another post about this but i also want to know if i need anything else? or will the parts from my stock r33 do fine? because the engines are the same..

simply swapping over the turbo etc and not the motors will result in the following:

NA motor with turbo attached will not run much boost before it starts to ping

turbo motor with turbo removed will in fact be slower then the NA was before it had the turbo attached

the originally turbo car will still be registered as a turbo

you will have wasted money for pretty much no reason

while the engines are both rb25's they aren't exactly the same. the turbo engine runs lower compression than the NA, which means 2 things. 1: the NA can't run as much boost as the turbo could, and 2: the turbo motor without a turbo attached will be noticably slower than a stock NA skyline. in fact you would probably get left at the lights by a grandma in her barina.
