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..

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
