    What Would Be More Expensive?

    Posted · Edited by dynafit

    Ok. I have read links and searched threads, and i think i will have to wait it out. If cops still will pull you over for being a 'turbo' car, and it has no power, whats the point? guess i have to keep my 94 VR commodore a bit longer :blink: thanks guys.

    Basically a turbo car with the turbo taken off will have worse performance than a standard non-turbo due to lower compression, different camshaft specs, etc... But then the non-turbo will have a weaker diff, gearbox, etc. as mentioned even if you take the turbo off it is registered as a turbo so still technically illegal. Take the advice, wait it out for one more year...The amount of work you would have to do to a non-turbo to get it to standard turbo spec would cost you so much you could have waited & bought a far better turbo model in a years time. Just start saving now, you will have plenty of cash for when the time comes.Be patient grasshopper!

    no, i dont wanna sell the car later down and get a turbo one, i want to know if its cheaper to buy a N/A one and put a turbo in it, or buy a turbo version and take it out for a year then put it back in. i dont mind if the turbo version has work done on it, just taking the turbo out for a year. but i thought you had to do something to the motor when you do take it out, which is why im asking the above question. thanks.

    Before you get shot down in flames for asking a question asked many times before... get a non turbo on your P's, then when you get your full license sell it and buy a Turbo - the only way to go.

    Yes, but i dont mind if i buy something that has work done on it, i just want to know if its expensive to take the turbo out and put it back in a year later or whether i should get a N/A model and put a tubo in later.

    Its only a year, buy somethig like an r31 for under a grand or something. then get something that already has work done to it

    What would be more expensive...Taking the turbo out of a skyline, or putting one in?

    P plater here, and i want to purchase a skyline, either r33 or r34, but my question is simple. I either get a non turbo version and whack a turbo in once i get my blacks (1 year down the track) or i get a turbo version and take the turbo out until i get my blacks then put it back in. Its a year till my full licence but i cant wait :blink: I read somewhere that when you take the turbo out, you need to re-compress the motor or something and do other things to it, thats why i ask if its expensive.

    cheers

    how long until you get off your p's? the reason i ask is that if it isn't that long (like a year or so), i wouldn't bother doing extractors. just get the catback. save the money for the turbo upgrade as you will only have to ditch the extractors when you put the turbo manifold on

    I have a year to go then I'm off my p's. I will be putting a turbo in when the time comes, I just want to be ready for it. So you don't have extractors when you have a turbo? Wow thanks you saved me a heap :)

    wow man im having the EXACT same problem. Im thinking of buying a skyline that i can always upgrade to a turbo when im off my p's, and im gettng a 4 door to make insurance cheaper too :) I just want to know if the non-turbo's have ANY sort of power behind them (not compared to a turbo, just generalised) to see if its worth even bothering till im off my P's.
