Not worth it mate, Do a search as there have been a couple of threads on this. Basically to sum it up a turbo motor has less compression to allow for boost. If you took the turbo off and blocked everything up you would be left with a motor that had less grunt then a factory delivered NA.

Not saying it cant be done but the work envolved you would have to think twice. This price must be damn good as GT's can be picked up for around 20g's these days depending on where you are and four door models are cheaper again.

Or am I guessing because your on your P's you want to take all the gear off and re attach everything when you go of your P's?

Yeh, like he said you won't make much power because of the low comp ratio. Also the car will still say it's a R34 GTT on the chassis or vin and the rego so cops can probably still dog you (especially if they don't know what a turbo is and where to look fo rit)

the car would still be on the rta computers as a gtt with a turbo. So the cops could and most likely would dick you.

If you did change it you would need to have that engineered to say it was ok.

However doubt it would pass, as they could simply say " what stops you bolting it back on after you get the ok to drive it"

Just stick with a NA from factory

yea..it scoz im on restrictions i wanna put it back on once i'm off my p's.. i dont really care performance wise i know it woudl be worse, im just wanna know if theres any chance of damage to the engine? btw the car is 20k, grade 5, its really really nice. Is it worth it or shoudl i just wait a year?

They did make Rb26DE's and the put them in sedans im pretty sure. Do asearch on them here as im pretty sure phunky monkey was the one that had all the info on them. I think they were marketed as a good tow vehicle or something from memory??

Is the car already landed here and 20g is the final price or are you looking on an auction website or something?

If it's only a year till you can have a turbo one, i'd just buy a cheap economical car for a year, and use the money saved on petrol, insurance and buggerizing around making it NA, to modify the turbo one when you are allowed to drive it. The price for the car will come down in 12 months as well. You would really just be throwing money down the drain if you paid for someone to convert it to NA and then paid them again 12 months later to turn it back to turbo. Thats got to be a couple of grand spent on a car that after the outlay of extra money is still a stock GTT.

    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
