Good morning everyone,

i did a quck search and couldnt find what i was after.

I was just wondering if parts that are reccommended for turbo cars could be used for N/A?? Example, exhaust system on JustJap suited for 'R34 GTT coupe' ... would that work/fit a 'R34 GT25 N/A coupe/sedan'

Sorry if question sounds a little silly, just something i don't quite understand.

Thankyou in advance!

Owen.

Do a search on this forum for exhaust and there's plenty of info. Bascially it comes down to volumetric efficiency. Yes 3" will work but response down low is sacrificed. I could go into it in further detail but my flight is boarding now lol

thanks for reply's guys.

i should of made myseld more clear, the exhaust was an example, i have seen parts like, aftermarket pods, silicone hoses, radiator pipes, fuel flters, fuel pumps etc. that say it is for GTT or GTS-T, i would like to know in general if all these types of parts fit/will work with N/A skylines (r33, r34) as well.

Sorry for not making myself clear everyone! hope question makes more sense now.

Cheers.

if you could get a stock turbo catback exhaust then use that. unless you have serious mods then 3" is actually going to reduce your power and be as loud as shit. i have seen results from people putting 3" systems on 3.5L magnas and there was no max power gain from doing it, but there was a drop in low end power, and that is on a car with 1000cc more. even on a 4.0L falcon 2.5" is a big enough exhaust. and before you start bagging out falcons, etc as being shit, it still doesn't alter the fact that a 4.0L engine is going to be pumping out more exhaust gases than a 2.5L

thanks for reply's guys.

ok, in that case, it really depends on what it is. a lot of stuff is interchangable, sometimes even if the stock items aren't exactly the same. things like pods will usually be 100% universal, not just between skylines, but all cars. it is usually just the adapter that makes it specific to a skyline, etc. radiator hoses and fan belts, etc i would assume would be interchangable. sometimes things can be determined by whether the car has ABS or not. this will often apply to brake parts (i know, captain obvious) but can also apply to other things such as fuel filters (probably not on the skyline though, but i have seen other cars where they are different).

Thanks mad082. your advice did help, but i guess ill just find out about a certain part before i buy it, because as you said, it can vary from part to part which are interchangeable and which are not.

Thanks again.

just ring just jap and ask they know alot. order it over the phone, pretty easy

and then just hope they send you the right thing, LOL. while i haven't had any troubles a guy i know has been given the wrong thing a few times. luckily he just goes there in person so it's easier for him to sort it out.

    • The alloy coolant reservoir has a sight glass, so as long as I can see coolant in the sight glass it's GTG, as for PS, it isn't anything catastrophic if it gets low, and as it hasn't lost a drop since I have owned the car I cannot see it being an issue, even after putting the "big block" 2.5 in....LOL The only time it gets slightly messy is at oil changes, as the oil filter sits above the frame, and I need to use a plastic bottle with its bottom cut off to catch the flow when loosening the filter
    • Good on you for taking on the job, but it is a big one. Even if you have bolt on manifold and turbo, you will need: Post throttle pressure source to boost controller to wastegate (and FPR, and ECU/MAP sensor) Pre throttle pressure source to top of BOV(s) Oil feed - you can take that from the standard port in the middle of the block Oil return to block under the turbo - this is much trickier than it seems to route a decent/wide pipe past the manifold. You really can't use rubber hose because it is way too hot there, and also the oil out of the turbo core is a bit frothy so it needs to have a decent diameter Water feed - you can take that from the standard port in the rear of the block. Water return - mine runs to a T into the heater box return, just make sure you don't create a high point making bleeding hard. All of those lines should use 200 series style teflon braided hose with heat shielding because everything needs to be routed past the manifold. Also a turbo beanie is a really good idea to minimise the chance of the car catching fire (under bonnet lining in particular) You also need to decide a cam cover breathing solution as well, will you vent externally via a catch can (probably illegal) or return to the intake (plumbing required and can oil up everything over time) Keep in mind the intake and exhaust piping in the engine bay will be custom so you either need to be able to fab ally and steel or have someone you can get a car that isn't running to. Get the wideband fitting welded into the dump pipe at the same time. Also, just my opinion, a screamer pipe attracts attention and doesn't add power, I'd plumb it back if you want to be allowed to keep the car on the road. BTW do you know anything about how healthy the motor is, and what power you are targeting? Doubling or tripling the factory power on an unknown motor is a little risky. Also fuel system will need some attention (pumps, high current hanger, direct power and earth feed, injectors etc)
