How dissapointing... My brand new r33 gts-t baby just imported from japan, straight into the shop to get its turbo taken out and replaced with a non turbo manifold just so i can drive it on my P's. :) . Though i did get to drive it on my L's as a turbo for a few drives and i can see why people love turbos so much. Although the reason why im doing all this is so when i get off my P's i can wack it all back in without much money. Just to let u guys no what such a gay feeling it is to feel your fast baby turned into a fat baby... slow :) I should be getting my car back this weekend hopefully it hasnt turned too slow. Keep u guys posted about my FAT BABY

Yes its legal because the importer i got it from deals with p platers all the time and they do what i had to do, and they cant book you or anything because it isnt turbo'd even if its registered as one. Plus i got it back and even though im really happy i have the car but sooo much power has gone.. the exhaust sounds really bad because the turbo "buffs", takes the shitty piston/manifold noise out and now it doesnt have it, when u start getting to high rpm (not even real high rpm like past 3k+ revs) just sounds like a lancer with a cannon on the back. I was just wondering if anyone new what i could do so it sounds good again?

Just stick a stock system on it as well, no need for noise when it don't go fast, and the cops will hassle you less too.

Stock systems are readily available and are quite cheap, as no-one wants them.

I doubt because an importer says its legal makes it legal...

Not knowing enough about the rules i wont comment much further but if a cop wants to kick your arse for it im sure they can. Could come down to needing to have it re-registered as a non-turbo.

serisouly. why didn;t you buy a non turbo one or just buy a non turbo car of any sort till you could have one.

now you have a 9.0:1 compression, 2.5, non turbo, 1390kg car that will drive like shit.

surely you could have researched this forum for opinions and others experience on this.

way to re-invent the wheel.

I can't believe that you took the word of a "salesmen" about the product he is selling as the truth.

I bet you also believe that McDonalds healthy range is actually good for you too hey?

i never knew that it was possible to do that legally..Does the car run the turbo ecu ? If so how does it run ?..IF its 100% legal as you say then well done !!! simple job to swap it all back over once your P's are gone

      r34's love to squeal

      By Nizzy_R34 · Posted

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
