Hi, I dont know a huge ammount of cars and i was wondering if it is possible to take the turbo out of the engines in cars. To be specific would it be possible to take the turbo out of this car: http://www.carsales.com.au/all-cars/privat...me&__Nne=15 And make it legal for a p plate driver to drive. If this is possible how much would it cost and can you please tell me the full procedure of what you need to do to make it legal for a p plater to drive. By the way its for NSW p plate driver laws

This has been covered about a million times, have a bit of a search and you will find what you are looking for mate.

And in the end I believe that even if you pull the turbo off, it will still be a no go for a p-plater.

Just looked at the link - why on earth would you want to do such a terrible thing to such a nice car!! lol

its possible and it will run fine....... probably. but all those mods are to support a big turbo with big boost. turn it NA and it will have no power and use a crap load of fuel. but yes it will run!

im not sure you can register it anyway, as all Spec R S15s are turbo, as mentioned get an Autech, they are already NA, have plenty of power and are still a beautiful car to drive. in fact the only major difference between the turbo and autech is the lack of a turbo. it still has the brakes and 6 speed gearbox, climate control blah blah. just make sure you have it throughly checked before you buy it

It is possible to remove the Turbo's (yes all 4) from a Yellow Dragon, then if you paint it red you can drive it on your P's, and it is shitloads faster than BMW M3, BMW M5, BMW M6 and a Merc CLS500 (all 2008). and they can be had for around $22,000-$28,000 which should leave daddy some money for your breast Augmentation

      r34's love to squeal

      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.
