No what he did was assume he could be a cheap arse and remove the turbo and then easily put it back on and got the turbo car.. sif research or look what non turbos are available.. of course they are available... just not alot cheaper/more expensive than turbo

[Greekos]

shoudlnt a theard be created for these sorts questions, conisdering that now skylines are alot more affordable than ever before to a younger more naive crowd with no experience or idea about their import, sort of like a Q n A thread for new import owners/ quick questions that don’t deserve a thread where you can't find a definitive answer after searching for an hour etc. where they can ask their questions and get a quick answer. I’v known a fair few people who buy an import treat it like a corolla or a commodore don’t sevice it treat it like shit, user crap oil, and when it stop running usual something simple they leave it their garage and preach how unreliable imports are bla bla bla, when in fact they are uneducated about owning an import.

Hi, yes it is possible to take a a turbo off an R33 and it will still run right.

It is a very simple process. You simply unbolt and remove the turbo, connect an exhaust system to the exhaust manifold, remove all intercooler piping, and put your air filter just infront of the throttle body. Start the car and you can drive it straight away.

Simple and easy process, will still have great power and fuel economy increases by 200%.

PM me for a more detailed description on how to do it

You've just been TROLLLOLLLED

hahaha are you stupid.. Jason.. post what you told him as i'm sure it's amusing.. either buy a non turbo while you are on your p's or go buy another car..

simple

[PM-R33]

Lol nice trolling.

[syfon]

I had the sudden urge to do it, so i thought f*k it!

Ok, on a serious note, it is possible to covert a turbo Skyline to a non-turbo but it is a pointless exercise.

You are better off buying a non-turbo Skyline from factory or just waiting till you are off your P-plates and then buying a turbo Skyline.

200% fuel economy increase because you'll leave your car on the side of the road and walk to work faster.

thanks

[syfon]

Haha no worries.

I you just take the turbo out and replace exhaust manifold with a non turbo one and replace where ever ur intake plumbing with just a pipe going to ur airbox you could do that. But don't you will end up with an engine with less power than a non turbo engine since the lower compression ratio. just swap in a new engine and sell ur old turbo one you might even make a a bit of money if you sell the turbo engine.

I'm going to start counting from now on how often this shit gets asked on here.

I will assume you are on your P plates and therefore can not drive a turbocharged vehicle. Buying a turbocharged car and taking a turbo off does not change a thing. The car was still complianced and registered as a turbocharged car. Therefore it is still illegal for you to drive! Why don't you people ever understand this, it is not that hard to understand!!

By your same concept you could drive a V8 if you simply removed the ignition system on 2 cylinders. You could ride a Hyabusa on your learners if you simply added an extra 150kg onto it and so on.

Seriously think for a few minutes before asking such stupid questions. And also search. This question gets asked at least twice a week. You think you have thought of some genius way to get around the laws that no one has ever thought of?

Dead set.

Not to mention that, unless you have a fetish for non turbo RB engines (if so. get help), a turbo car with non tubro engine is still a turbo car as far as the laws is concerned. So yes, keep looking for a non turbo one.

That being said, if you found a non turbo car that had been converted to a turbo one, you could legally remove the turbo and put normal minfolds back on and drive it legall, as far as i can tell.

+1 AND P platers cant drive modified cars. Removing a turbo IS a modification!

Do you need more evidence..

Nee san was right. + 11ty

I can't believe I got a warning over this crap. I actually tried to give a bit of constructive advice and this is what I get.

exactly. should you decide to "de-turbo" a turbo, it'll still be registered as a turbo, so when you get pulled over and they run your car, the policeman will think its a turbo

took less than a minute. theres (ironically) 33 R33 gts's there

[AcurrentAffair]

Is there some other thing you could replace the turbocharger with to compensate for the power loss etc, but still be allowed legally or questionably??

No p players cannot drive cars modified for performance gains

seriously, P platers should buy a cheap, gutless pos and actually learn how to drive first while saving there money so when they get there blacks they can afford something good which would brobly be better then what they would end up with if they started with a one in the first place and might be able to control it

my first car was a 96 suzuki sierra 1.3 carby, totally gutless and ran on the smell of a oily rag, i learnt heaps in that car and it cost me f all
