De-turboing An R34 Gt-t

[omgitzandrew]

Hello,

Ive had my gtt for around three months now and most of the members of my household cannot drive turbo cars. So here i am sitting here thinking why the F*** did i buy a turbo!!

Without selling the entire car, is there any way the turbo can be blocked or taken off so that it runs as a six NA?

If i cannot do this than is anyone interested in trading a Gt-t R34 for the NA four door

Thanks guys

no it is still classified as a turbocharged car, even if you pull the turbocharger off. the compliance plate, rego and papers all will say gtt turbocharged so it wont matter. why cant they drive it? over power the weight rule for their age?

well did u buy the car for them or for you? why do u worry about everyone else in your house so much?

[omgitzandrew]

I worry, because there is four of them who cannot drive it...

The four of them are on their P's and in sydney cannot drive her

Im pretty deadset on doing it, but you've just answered my question in one.. thanks

Hey Mate,

Isn't it legal to drive a turbo if it's your "only" family car? Just sign off your other cars to trusted family members (even though they still yours, no one will know) and that way your kids can drive it.

I'm not 100% sure if the family car exemption is still available double check...

de turboing a skyline is like puttin a gtr engine in a mustang, should never be done yet alone thought of. but i do however understand your predicament, i would do as nizmoid suggested and keep the skyline for yourself

[krzysiu]

Tell them to buy there own f*kkin cars lol. Asif make your car crapper (which you cant do anyways) for them to drive it! You must be a really nice guy to consider that... but no lol

Very good idea!

i think i have the solution for you

ill trade u my 1996 hyundai lantra for it - its definately non-turbo - fun for your whole family! i know its not an equal trade so... throw in a few hundred for me too.

if you deturboed the car, would they neccesarily wish to drive it? Aside from diggin into your personal business like everyone else, to de-turbo the car, you would need to transplant in a non-turbo engine, or the essential non-turbo parts from a non-turbo r34 - these are very rare and therefore expensive. You'd probably be best off selling the car, even if you did 'modify' the engine, it may still be registered as turboed, and if not, the car will be 'modified' and possibly therefore illegal anyways.

I wouldnt ever trade a turbo R34 for a NA model just so my brothers and sisters can drive it, Let them get their own car if they dont have any money tell them to get a job like you did to buy your car

[Kaido_RR]

give the guy a brake!

for watever reason he wants the rest of his family to be able to drive his car THAT isnt the issue!

simple and quickest answer is no

[Sumo]

Things that would really be a problem would be compression ratio's, your air fuel ratio's, exhaust would need to be changed, Intake would have to be modified, And your timing would have to be changed.

Yeah cut the bloke some slack, his just looking out for his siblings who may need a car to drive.

But R31Nismoid's solution would be the best, get them to chip in to buy a Barina or something which they all can drive.

i would just pick up a rb25de half cut and drop the engine in, and put the turbo motor away untill they can drive it.

im with telling them to get a job. in some ways NZ is great. a 15 year old can drive a 10 second car with no problems.

dont ever let your sis drive your car. too many mates have had there car returned needing repairs of various magnatude

ok, well the problem with de-turboing a turbo motor is that the internals aren't like a non-turbo motor. they are designed to have less compression (the boost makes up the difference). this means that if you de-turbo it it will have less power than a non-turbo motor.

it would be easier to sell the car and get a non turbo car. to remove the turbo you would have to get a new manifold, block all the turbo water and oil lines lines, get a new exhaust (if it has a 3", since a 3" on a n/a car would be extremely noisey, and actually reduce the power output), and probably retune the computer to alter the timing.
