Turbo conversion

[Jimbo2000]

Hi all.

Thinking of buying a r33 in the new year but cant decide wheather i should get a GTSt or a cheaper GTS 5spd and whack a turbo on it after saving up a bit more

Any ideas what that procedure would cost roughly?

Would it work out roughly the same price?

Cheers.

Jimbo: dont waste your money on the NA route. The only time when this is really viable is in the case of someone looking at a cheap alternative to a GTR and that would mean buying something like a R33 GTS4 non turbo and fitting an RB26DETT

There is actually minimal price difference at the moment between some NA R33's and a GTS-T so the wise choice is the buy the car already in turbo form.

You will save a lot of messing around not to mention $$$ by doing it this way.

Yeah i was thinking about getting a r33 Gts and since i will

be 17 when i get my car, therefore making insurance really high.

I would drive around in the N/A Gts and do a few mods on it and then after i get out of the high insurance rate bracket i could put a turbo on it. What do you think?

Also

ifadd the turbo and all the other crap 2 do with the turbo to the gts would that mean you would then have a gtst (exact same thing)

Also i heard you can get more power out of a turboed Gts than you can out of the GTST?

i don't think the insurance will be a huge different between NA & tubro, but as long as they are import, they are fxxking expensive anyway.

As the inter of N/A engine is not as strong as tubro. plus lot's of things u need, tubro,intercooler,ecu, piping, fuel pump, BRAKE... u will end up paying A LOT more but less power(a lot less after mod)

if u really want, get a n/a one, keep it standard(don't mod it, even exhaust or air filter, wasting $$!!) save up and spend the $$ when u able to get a Tubro one.
