    N/a Value

    in Naturally Aspirated Performance

    Posted

    Hey fellas, going to stick a turbo engine in my skyline soon and would like to try to sell the n/a engine but can't seem to find a proper value for it, i found one for sale for 1100 bucks but not 100% sure.

    My engine is about 115km's from a R34 GT-V 2000, former courier car from japan so I'd assume, like our taxi's, it's been looked after engine-wise. I've also been running vapour injectors on it so that definitely makes the engine life much better and it wasn't the greatest in fuel economy. Maybe 340-360 max per tank so it was running very rich (get massive pops when driving :) ) So the engine is very healthy.

    What's it worth and do many people buy these?

    Doing an engine swap on a GT-V is not a bad idea too but you have to factor in things like labour and the hassle of not having a car while the engine change is happening and getting it certifed and so forth.

    Yep but the plus is, the GT-V tag doesn't exist on redbook ! so the plan is to say to vicoraods that i blew my engine up.. here is the new number... the car technically doesn't exist so re-newing rego... WTF sorry mate this car is a GT-T not a GT like uve listed, you made a mistake :-)

    If your a p-plater with future aspirations of getting a turbo then get a gt-v. I scored a gt-v for 15k. Manual with all the turbo bits. engine... maybe 2-2.5 k and 1k labour maybe more. And at the time a allready turbo one was AT LEAST 20k. So in the end of the day I'm saving money. And if not i loose some but have a skyline on my p's and not some shitbox. And besides, if you wanna smack on serious power, your saving money since the engine is out of the car=quicker easier and yeah... engine swapping isn't as expensive as most think.

    If you get a straight up n/a then no, coz of the breaks and hassle but get a gt-v like me and youll be fine :-)

    Um basically im sticking a turbo engine in my GTV. And I've been told to get a return-flow intercooler over a normal intercooler. I don't wish to spend much so I'm aware of how much more a return flow costs however i'm not sure of the advantages. I'm going to have to drill 2 holes irregardless as I got none atm but are return flows structured in any way to be better over a normal one?

    Geez, there seems to be quite a bit of inaccurate information in this thread. Anyone trying to "bulk" up taking all these extra substances really are wasting time, protein is basically all you need, the rest are just a waste of money. Oh and protein has a saturation rate which is undetermined, so 30-40,100,200 per sitting, no real evidence behind it, but on a strict measure of calorie consumption, 300g of protein a day is exceptional within the afternoon/night. Majority of carbs should be consumed in the morning and early afternoon, and then your protein based meals. Ideally you want to deplete your body of glycogen thus eliminating any chance of carbs morphing into fat. This is obviously achieved through heavy weight training, and then you go for your typical 20 minute interval cardio session right after.

    And GTR-32U, there is no real proof of body adaptation to increased workload, if anything it can detract from it if you understand how BMR works. Unfortunately the exercise/training industry has such an overflow of information (being a multi-billion dollar industry) it has gotten to the point where every theory has a contradictory theory to detract it.

    But what I know and what I do seems to be working very well so I’ll stick it :-)
