Can You Take A Turbo Out Of A Skyline?

[eightsixboy]

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??

Please tell me your taking the piss...

I've heard if you replace it with a bag of frozen peas you can gain a few kilowatts. Not sure the legality is of this and also you need to make sure your peas STAY frozen.

You see how the turbo works is it forces more cold air into the engine faster, how a bag of peas works is it just keeps everything nice and cold from the get go. After you go for a drive you should be able to just wack em in te freezer ready for your next cruise. On longer journeys however it is advised that you bring a couple of extra bags in an esky.

NA 33's aren't all that hard to find. I picked mine up off carsales for 3k with 6 months rego and some minor issues.

Quick look on carsales just now has shown me at least 5 within the first couple of pages.

3k!?!

edit: what the heck were the minor issues and how long ago was this?s

December, 180,xxxk's, little rough around the edges but overall not in too bad nick. Needed new P/s pump & had a noticeable miss which with a new set of spark plugs and the superspark coilpacks dude gave me that he said didn't work chucked in is all sorted. Dude selling it was a bit of a nuffer.

ibtl

seriously though, have there been more of these threads lately?

To OP, assuming you're not la bomba (lol), search to make sure that 1: the question you're asking hasn't been asked a million times; and 2: the question you ask isn't just plain stupid/illegal/illogical/pointless. And when you search you'll realise how freaking lucky you are that the minor flaming in this thread was quite easy-going compared to some of the others.

Anyways, buy an NA... Or Mohsen's dunnydore
