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

    • If you've wired up the coils & injectors properly, & have the neo CAS loom for the trigger, it should all work. The VCT works the same way so just different plugs between s1 & neo. Assuming DBW if no IAC. Don't bother with the stock boost solenoid with g4x.
    • THERE IS NO IAT SENSOR ON ANY SINGLE TURBO RB. And the one on an RB26 is not for "engine control" - it's really too big and too slow and is only used for over-temp alarming (as far as I can tell). Anyway, you don't have one. You want/need one for the Link, then you need to buy one, find a spot for it, and wire it in. You do know that the stock boost solenoid is not capable of "control", right? It is merely on or off, for the low boost (5 psi) and high boost (7psi), which the ECU enforces mostly based on gear. The stock solenoid is not for PWM control and is not plumbed up in a way to provide it. If you want to control boost properly, then you need a proper MAC valve. And yes, you can wire either of them direct to the ECU. Well, I assume you can - I don't know what the boost solenoid pins on the plug and play Link are capable of. They really should be as capable as any normal Link - but seeing as it is plg and play, it might be limited to stock functionality. Read the doco.   You really do just want to plug stuff together without understanding how it works, right? I can't help you there. I don't know the plug types or pinning on half the stuff you're asking about. If I had to do it I would sit down with the wiring diagrams, the car/looms and a multimeter and work out what is what.
    • Light should be a pressure switch, not a sensor.
    • The pressure light likely has a different sender to a pressure gauge, its been too long for me to remember for sure. Just have a look for another sender down near the oil filter. If you are confident in your rewired pressure sender reading correctly, you can be pretty sure it is just the dash light's sender failing, it is a pretty common thing.
