I know there are many threads about 25gt turbo conversions etc

overall the conversion would seem like a fun project but in the end id probably prefer the performance i could get from modifying a stock 34gtt.

anyway my point is has anyone here with a gtt removed the turbo and components and raised the compression ratio?

im starting to think it might be getting a bit more popular because there are so many of those on their p's still and looking to drive a gtt but at the moment can only drive a non turbo.

if so how much would it cost to raise the compression ratio? and what else is involved.

All help appreciated, Brad.

ps. id hate to buy a 25gt now and sell it in 1.5 years time and have the cost depreciated and have to fork out more for the turbo car.

also id hate to go through selling my car that i would be attached to, for the same model car and worry about their differences etc...

Ive got a feeling that you will still get pulled up because as far as the police and government are concerned ur car is still a GTT, and im sure in their database it will come up as a turbo when they run ur plates. So id be looking into the legalities of it all before planning the build (or is it an un-build???)

Otherwise i think kids would be trying all kinds of crazy "stealth" remote mounted hidden turbo conversions on their cars.

But if im wrong, and it would be P legal and you want an interesting project go for it.

well i would go to the rta to find out. and get whatever papers i need.

also engineers slips once the UN-build is done..

and tbh its not the cops im that worried about. its the insurance companies ahaha if i crashed and they tried to not pay up.....

As far as main roads and cops go, if you have the better vehicle (V8 turbo or supercharged) and you reduce it back to the base model, as in V6, non-turbo or non-supercharged, they dont care.

The vehicle says its a turbo car, then thats that! Sorry.. It is, and always will be that class of car even if the parts are not there.

Insurance? hmm, I would not want to guess on that one, you are lowering its performance, but you are modifing it.

It will have the better brakes and suspension though...

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
