R33 1993 Remove Turbo Help

[mad082]

but still, even if you can get away with it, you are making the car less powerful than the NA version by quite a bit. as someone posted in a thread a while back, their mate did it then put the car on the dyno and made something like 65kw. performance wise that's like getting a lancer and driving round with 200kg in the boot.

All p platers need to do to go fast is get a learner legal 650 bike.  You WILL shit on most cars out there and its legal.  Since most 650's are restricted you can unrestrict them and they then haul arse.

[mad082]

any 650 you can ride is going to be a dirt bike not a road bike. and while they do get up and go, they aren't uber fast (like a road bike) and you won't gain that much by unrestricting them.

LOL if you're beating GTS-T's they either aren't trying or are being driven by people who can't drive to save their lives lol.

I love it when N/A owners think they have some sort of weapon, fact is it's slower than a VN!

GTFO ..lol alrite if a vn come in a turbo version your pretty much sayin a turbo vn would beat a gtst ...... since a NA VN.. would beat a NA skyline .. i use 2 drive a vs commodore b4 i got my na skyline and no way the VS was faster it felt like a boat that was about to sink...

Yes, that's my mate that put his GTS25 minus T on the dyno. Needed to rev its guts off to even take off without stalling, no point in having a "cool skyline" when an excel leaves you almost 2 cars behind.

problem is that how fast a car feels and how fast it is actually going is 2 different things. my turbo 33 felt slower than my 180sx although it was a touch quicker. my v6 magna felt quicker than my 33, even though it was slower.

also most people are comparing a manual skyline to an auto commodore. of course the auto commodore is going to be a touch slower. just look at the difference in diff ratios. that alone tells a massive story.

as for turbo vn versus gts-t, i reakon the turbo vn would have it over the gts-t if you are talking stock for stock. if you are talking modified then you have to compare 2 cars with the same mods and i think the vn would still win.

double post

I think we've come to the conclusion that taking the turbo out of an r33 simply isn't worth it.

As per the first few posts in this thread, I would take their advise, sell you current r33 and buy a N/A car.

my r32 is auto also vs was

Meh, buy a 250 for a year like im doing and then sell it since they hold their value due to the LAMS laws and then buy a proper 600 road bike: R6, ZX6R, Daytona, GSXR etc.

I should have my R6 some time this year Fantastic bikes.

Anyway back to the topic..

FKNLOL at everyone saying that NA fail-boats are faster than gts-t's and falcodoors, my Mild EA falcon 5 speed ran 14.82 and my VR luxo berlina with nothing but a shit cat back ran 15.3....

I mean FFS my toyota Cressida would be on par or quicker than an auto r33 gts

...Next up these guys will be saying they beat a GT3 RSR around the 'ring in their Auto NA rb20e r33's

[mad082]

they aren't all straight road bikes. most are touring/enduro bikes, etc designed for both on road and offroad. basically softcore versions of dakar bikes. a good analogy would be if you compare a landrover discover, or some other bare bones offroad 4wd and a lexus, that is what those 650 bikes are like compared to a proper dirt bike. they are more suited to the road but can occasionally get their tyres dirty

I think this thread is starting to wander from its original topic. It has been said many times before, YOU CANNOT PULL A TURBO OF A GTST AND EXPECT IT TO BE ANY GOOD. done said and dusted.

Goodnight and thread closed
