lets get this striahgt EVERYTHING i have spoken about in this thread has been turbo. the only thing im talking about thats non turbo is the motor im planing on putting in my car. now relax your pussy flaps everyonethis has become ridiculous

Edited by obsesv

what i meant by my mates motor is non turbo is.. its a factory non turbo motor, with a turbo setup on it. im terribly sorry for wording that very wrong!

i was trying to get the point across at the strength of an internally standard rb30

ahh so you meant to say, non turbo bottom end?

having a non turbo bottom end really makes little difference to the equation but now we have that cleared up, we can continue, fully enlightened

The size of my pussy flaps is rediculous, this topic has nothing on that

yes i meant its a non turbo bottom end, and head. wich doesnt really matter anyway cause the only difference is the cam which has been replaced anyway, but thats the extent of the headwork done to it.

i worded it badly :/

The pistons (comp ratio) is different also.

What Nismoid {edited for accuracy} said before was correct, though, you won't be able to make the chassis backwards compatible. You can put engines of equal vintage in but I'm pretty sure putting a less efficient engine into a newer car breaks all their rules

look im sick of arguing with everyone in here, i hope ive corrected all my mistakes by saying everything ive previously talked about has been turbo. big power n/a rb's just doesnt happen.

now, if we want to talk about my car. the idea of putting an rb30 in came to me because as ive said i can get one for basically nothing and i can do all the work myself. being an apprentice i dont earn lots of money so i want to do it on the cheap, and n/a rb25 is hard to find in its self, and expensive when you do find one. im not looking for performance out of this car at ALL while it is n/a, i just want a nice cruiser. due to previously having a turbo car and being on my p's i have a daily driver so i have plenty of time to do all this. SO in summary, an rb30 is the cheapest and quickest way to make my skyline n/a, then when i want to step it up all ive gotta do is chuck a twin cam head on and away i go

if anyone else wants anything cleared up feel free to ask!

yeah the head gasket in it is thicker thus making it the same as a factory turbo rb30

If you want to do it and your budget allows, then ring DOT/RTA and see if they will allow it. As far as being ABLE to be done....sure it can. Go for it.

You can always rip the head off and go twin cam later if the peer pressure gets too much.

yeah im aware of that, its not my biggest worry

Go and read my post.

Then read it again.

Then continue reading

The car is BUILD PLATED as TURBO.

- You cannot put a RB30E into a R32 and be legal if my recollection of laws is correct (I'm usually pretty on the money), meaning RB20E and RB25DE are your choices etc. You cannot put an older motor, into a newer chassis.

- You need to RE-ENGINEER it, that is not free to begin with. They might also emissions test you, again not free.

It's not a simple case of "motor out, motor in - I've beaten the system".

It might pay you to investigate the laws before getting wild ideas.

yeah ill look into it. ill see if its able to be engineered or something.

    • Man, I'm kind of amazed that the price of the turbo has not changed in 7 years. Everything else is inflating beyond reason, but not this? Good on Tao / hypergear I guess? Anyways, good luck with the sale!
    • I'm selling my brand new, in the box, never used Hypergear ATR45 - and I had some additions I paid for a few yrs back when I purchased it. Never ended up having the rest of the money to add all the mods at once, so I just ended up slowly selling each part. I originally had it internally gated, with the dump pipe, however I found it was incompatible with what I was going to use it for, so I contacted (I think Ken) from Hypergear, and he and I messaged back and forth & he got me to ship the turbo back, where they modified it & made it externally gated, and gave me the 5 bolt dump pipe attachment for custom welding. (Photos below) This turbo like I said has never touched the inside of an engine bay, it's completely brand new, never used, been sitting in the same box it arrived in, covered in plastic & all. Below are the photos of it: And while the guys at Hypergear were making it in-shop, they sent me some photos of the process: I'm looking at selling this just because I'm in need of the money right now, and don't have plans on modifying the 34 anytime soon - and from reviews & peformance sheets, this turbo had amazing results back when I was researching. The turbo was purchased in 2018 for $1.9k, with the mods I got added on. Looking at the website now, for the same turbo they sell (ATR45SAT), with the current addons it adds up to $1830 for the turbo Current addons included: - Bolted dump adaptor - Ball bearing CHRA - Braided oil feeding line So I'm looking to possibly sell it for around $1800, with shipping included in that 1.8k, It cost me around $120 to ship - so yeah thought I'd throw it out there and see if anyone was interested in purchasing. Cheers!
