hey guys,

sorry if this in the wrong section please move if so.

But i was wondering if i could turbo my NA R33 ? I was thinking of buying an RB25det taking the turbo manifold off and bolting it onto mine or just do a full engine swap. i'm on my red Ps' in QLD and wanted to ask this question befoer going out and paying for a exemption application.

thanks

Sell car and buy turbo version. Cheaper, smarter, better but if you really want to turbo your na you can or put an ls1 in it. I'm sure others will come along to give u some good advice.

thanks for the quick reply, i don't really wanna sell my first car that i bought but i wouldn't mind a turbo either, my friends told me buying an RB25det second hand and using the motor as a spare isn't a bad idea but neither is spending a lot of money.

Svn,

Honestly, these threads get created often and the answer to the question is to just sell your NA and buy a GTST.

You will save loads of time and money, they can be had for very cheap these days.

Lots of the time the people asking the question still think its a good idea just to pull the engine out and put a RB25DET in it.

But then you have to think about other parts on your car which do not suit the turbo or are not up to spec eg. Brakes.

Just learn to drive right now, there is a reason why you aren't allowed to drive a turbo car.

Once you get off your P plates, go spend the money on a nice GTST, GTR or GTT
