hi guys im on my P's and i cant drive a turbo car i got caught with my r33 turbo'd so i took it off since i lost my licence for it...

ive tried thinking of ways to hide it so i can still have some decent performance, i tried searching google for other people ideas and i found this video from youtube...

tell me what u guys think and how did he set this up because i would love to do it since cops would never look there for a turbo...

or if u have any other ways i can hide a turbo and get away with it please tell me

also they say on this video u wouldnt need a cooler since the turbo is so far away from the engine and cold air just keeps bushing past it...

please post serious comments on what ive said as i like to do this setup or a better 1 if u guys know any other ways i can hide a turbo setup

Without viewing video.

I'm thinking: Remote turbo location. Somewhere near the rear of the car.

Think lag.

Cops will just follow long piping and find it.

Plus your car is turbo from factory I'm assuming (GTS-t) so if you take the turbo off, the car is STILL on the banned list (As all of a sudden you've done an engine performance modification.)

my car is an R33 GTS "non turbo" i just turned it into a turbo engine, but then i changed it back during my licence suspension

and i wouldnt care if i had turbo lag it would still be faster then a normal n/a car right or wrong?

plus u could hide the intake piping put it through another that looks like stock plastic piping and then cut a hole and curv it out through the bottom and it will not be seen?

I have seen a successful rear mounted turbo setup but why??

There are other ways to make power out of an NA RB motor that would be probably legal in your case and what we used to do before turbos came along!

Go Old/New school! Modify your top half of the Intake manifold to run individual tuned trumpets and up the compression ratio more. As its already an NA its prob high anyway.

Fit decent extractors and new cams and adjustable gears to suit. Tune ECU.

Have you ever driven a powerful NA car with razor sharp throttle response!?

You would probably never put a turbo back on when your off your P's! :O

PS, Didnt say it would be cheap! :)

lol yeah its sounds ok but i dont wanna pay that much :O

seeing though i already have a turbo, manifold, boost control, boost gauge, that can be used with the remote setup... plus i have the dump pipe and intercooler for when i get off my P's

if you have already been done by the cops for driving a car your not allowed to, then they will be keeping a close watch on you when your back on the road, especially if your still seen driving the same car they booked you in. why not just wait out your 2-3yrs and modify the NA, pay off the car, save some money. then when your off a restricted licence go crazy on a turbo'd car.

yeah its easy to say that but i cant stand losing power and also races since i took the turbo setup off, it may come off stupid but i want to have to feeling of driving a turbo car i cbf waiting 2 more years my car doesnt look the same since the looks are being changed atm since a stupid truck reverse into my parked car.

owell, personally i wouldnt go spending money to 'hide' a turbo, cause the cops will find it, not all cops are as dumb as they look (yes i know alot are dumb, but occasionally you get one that acually owns a skyline or just knows his mechanics)

my 2cents, il leave it at that.

but if you do it, post pics, as im a tad curious where abouts you will mount it and how the car will run. (you might have that much lag you'l be better off with the NA lol)

.... sell the skyline.

Otherwise, you'll just keep getting pulled over, and even remote turbos will still be noisy. They'll find it.

If you're that desperate, get a NOS kit. Or better yet, strap on the rocket engines to the roof (aka myth busters) then light the bitches up!

Or even better, spend the same amount that you'd be spending on mods on a CAMS license and import a race only car. That way you can drive something ludicrously fast, with a concrete barrier stopping you from running people over.

he said for a n/a dont go bigger then a 40-75 hp kit cause i would blow something

    • Nah its a server spammer thing  Although, now that I manually approve all the accounts I can probably loosen up some of the restrictions.  
    • Thread bump, again! Although, no bad news this time. Posting for the sake of possible root cause. Basically, I rebuilt it (mostly stock), installed Haltech + sensors, had it running fine on new ECU.  Still not really understanding why it cracked pistons last time. Got to tuners, and while checking timing, noticed +-10deg of timing scatter while revving. Changed CAS, and it was rock solid. While not definitive, can't imagine seeing 20+ psi with that amount of scatter would be a good thing. Also glad I found something.   Bit more of a run down; Carried out a stock rebuild, a set of stock pistons, out of a spare bottom end. Everything stock apart from head studs and oil restrictors. (so I can pretend I didn't let the Nissan out, ha.) Armed with the measuring gear and FSM, set about doing overhaul. Oil restrictors as per oil control thread for a RB25, stock oil pump, drifting. Head drain/vent from rear of head, to passenger side of sump above oil level. Two dash 10 vent lines from drivers side of sump (unused atm) Hi octane style cam cover breather kit Splash covers over last 2 cam caps. Both breather lines from cam covers to vented to atmosphere catch can, not plumbed back into sump (wanted to see what it was actually breathing). Got it run in (did about a 1000km) no to low boost scenario, As I had questions over old ECU setup. Installed haltech +sensors for flex Retune on E85 (finding CAS Issue along the way), made 300rwkw at 20psi, out of wastegate. Did a drift day the next day (yes, it was a big weekend!) and was checking catch can throughout the day, ZERO blowby. I mean nothing. Lines from cam covers are not even wet. Done a bunch of street driving, spirited and catch can is still dry. Early days I guess, but pretty happy so far. Also now run 10w60, up from the 10w40 that I used to run. Oil pressure is significantly better, especially when hot (as you would expect)      
    • Thanks buddy. I thought it was a server storage thing. 🤣
    • Perfect! Thanks for this, both look like great options!
