thanks for the info i will only go small scale turbo the extra comp will give the power i need atm

Just do the research around here and you'll be fine. Have a chat to some tuners in your area (preferably ones that have delt with imports) they'll generally lead u in the right direction aswell :thumbsup:

... Side note, it's usually cheaper to sell the car and buy a turbo model

Nem, Nick, you might be thinking of me?

Still lurk around these areas and motor is still going strong.

Wiix your mechanic mate is wrong. You can push more through an N/A 25 but you have to put in the money for the right parts and spend the time/money tuning it correctly.

And has been said, injectors and turbo ecu for your current setup is most likely draining your power.

Sorry bro,yer there is a few guys that have done it lol. I considered doing to to my rb for a while until I popped the second motor haha... I imagine it can be done relatively cheaply with oem parts but I only skimmed that thread, high 190rwkw is a ball park zone isn't it?

Yeh, standard turbo parts + full length exhaust, boost controller and a little tuning is in the 190-200ish mark. pretty much identical to a turbo, just with more response.

Wholly shit, you're still alive!

Good to see.

I'm trying to remember who it was but its not coming to mind, may of been hanaldo maybe I duno it's irrelevant.

More to the point it can be done and with quite pleasing results. What would get most people I imagine is getting greedy and continuing to wind more and more boost in, in this situation with the high comp (something like 9.5:1? Not exactly sure) it will go pop....

I didn't turbo my NA motor, I swapped all my stuff in from a GTT wreck :)

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
