i work for a wrecking yard and i used to work for a smash repairer....more than likely its a write off....if your motor is NOT damaged your going to need basically the whole front cradle assembly.....and a/c condensor,radiator,a/c fans...all up your better off trying to sell it for parts and buying another car...your looking at a very expensive job there is no cheap way about.....not only will it need a smash repairer it will also have to go to a mechanic....i will give you a rough estimate and that is if your motor is ok......$10,000-$18,000 its mostly the labour involved....hope this helps

that's slammed mate, you need a new car :S

mine was only half that bad and I should've written it off, looks like chassis damage to me

mine cost $4500 to repair + $1200 for the engine, on a car that i only paid $4500 for, so in the end, i paid $10200 for it, not worth it, write it off, sell it for parts and get a new car, did you have insurance?

if you did - claim on it, if you didn't - you live and learn, get it next time

    • This is what the look like normally. Except we only got the 2 doors locally
    • Back pressure is not really a function of the exhaust itself, but the turbine/housing. So the question/point remains valid. I would be fitting an EMAP tapping point and seeing what is going on in the exhaust manifold before committing to throwing boost at it. Flow. No intercooler is actually rated for continuous operation at any power level wrt temperatures, as they are no actually capable of shifting the required amounts of heat on a continuous basis. They get hot during a pul, then dump some of that heat into the external air (and some back into the internal air) during off load moments/periods). You probaby do need a bigger core, given the power level you're already at is somewhat above the "rating" of the cooler. Put pressure tapping points either side of the core (which possibly you already have, if you have a boost source near the compressor outlet and tapping near the throttle for existing purposes) and report on delta P across the core.   I haven't done the mass flow calculation to see where you would be sitting on the compressor map at the ~450is rwkW level we're talking here, but if you look just at the PR you're running at, which is ~2.8-2.9, then you have a really really wide swath of the compressor map to run in, and so long as you were making between about 45-75 lb/min of flow, you should have really good comp efficiency, with the ideal being betweem 55 and 65. I can't see the need to shift drastically on the map to get better results.
    • Welcome 🙂 The ER34 wheels and slight lowering suit the R33 sedan really well. I'm firmly in the 'keep it stock, at least on the outside' camp.
    • Do this, and we'll have a resource right here.
    • "Hybrid" is a meaningless term. I could not tell you what the vendor of that turbo means by "hybrid".
