Can confirm factory N/A goodness. Plain gts. Did they come with boost/oil pressure in the dash?

Boost no, oil pressure yes... Also sitting tightly waiting the pics of the 32, you did send them to me back when I had my rb but I deleted the message :(

Alright guys, if you want to naturally boost an N/A, follow my write up. It should look something like this:

The throttle body is harder to get photos of, as it's further up inside the front bar after a hard pipe coming from the intercooler, but it's very self explanatory.

Pod > intercooler > throttle body > piping > car throttle body

Don't forget to gut the AFM and lay all your parts out and make sure you have enough silicone joiners and things like that to make it work.

Post up your pics!

Whoever connected that pod filter should be shot.

putting the hose clamp on the hard pod filter base pushing down on the soft flexible silicon!!!

smallest back fire and that pod filter is going to launch off.

hell get a nice hot day with the silicon softening and it could well drop straight off.

You're an idiot...

There is a hard pipe piece in between the pod and the coupler, it isn't clamping down on silicone!

Plus, the throttle body prevents a backfire coming back through the intercooler.

got a sound clip of tb2 opening?

How?

The intercooler won't fill up with air if the car is stationary and I don't intend on hanging off the front of the car risking my life just to record a sound clip for someone who has nothing positive to say, anyway.

Good son of rajab... Kwaka... I am just going to sit here and applaud.

Why I never thought of cooling ambient air with ambient air is just a kick in the nuts. And I spent all that money on turbocharging my car. You sir... You know your spanner from your shifter. Any other advice on getting power from an NA? Shaving weight off the cams for example?

Weight can definitely be shaved off cams by taking material off the cam lobes, unless you know what you're doing though, you shouldn't do it. Valve timing becomes affected.

You didn't waste your money turboing your car, I'm just enlightening everyone to the fact that there's more than one way to skin a cat.

177rwkw in a light 20DE GTS is pretty fun!

you never heard of go pro

hanging off the car...such a newbie

I'm a newbie yet you don't know how to intercool an N/A car?

I have heard of a go pro, but have you heard of background noise? The throttle body opening isn't as audible as say, someone hitting gate. The noise is definitely audible but not to that extent. I might get him to do a fly by later.

Plus, I don't have a go pro.

Idk why you need to hear it when you can see it and the dyno sheet is there.

If i run twin throttle bodies will i get 12psi?

If so, i might ditch the 3076 setup and go with that!

Not quite, Matt.

Since there's no "forced" induction, you're really relying upon ambient air getting a bit sped up as the throttle body opens. Adding a second one will just slow it all down and probably have a negative effect.

You could get a greater effect on an N/A zed with two intercoolers and two intakes on the same plenum, but that's another story.

Well based on that i reckon a flat intake with ITB off a GTR would easily be the best option? You could fab them into the end tank?

with my last NA i was too poor to go to this much effort, I used to just open up the airbox and dump a bag of ice in there, so long as you put drain holes worked a treat..

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
