There are so many comment against turboing an NA engine. For one is that the internal is not as strong as the factory turbo setup engine. But how weak is the internal, in term of attaching a turbo to it?

I've seen a fair few automotive magazine from the States, with Greddy & HKS selling a bolt on Turbo Kit for the 350Z, and Greddy bolt on Turbo kit for those Hondas.

Wouldn't it be a fair argument to say that those 350Z and those hondas internal weren't meant for turbo charging, and therefore would not be as strong as.... say an RB25DET or other factory turbo setup engines?

Can some one shed a light on to this for me, so that I may understand more about what works and what dont?

Halfcut would probably be the best option unless you can get the turbo and other bolt-on bits relatively cheap.

bits would included

Turbo

Exhaust manifold

Dump-pipe & Front pipe

Injectors (stock GTS-t ones or better)

Intercooler and piping (stock or better)

ECU (R33 gtst one may work fine)

Fuel Pump

I think that's the minimum you need to get it going :cheers:

I really should take some pics of under the engine bay, basically the oil feed comes from where the filter goes, the return is via the block near the sump.

The water lines are fed via the heater hose system for the climate control.

I'll g some photo's up

Looking at the wiring for the R33...the only thing I can think you may need to rewire is if you put the factory boost solenoid in. But if you don't bother just use a boost controller.

The R33 wiring is 1000 times more forgiving than in the R34.

gatty

before you go and get it done, find out just how much for an rb30 bottom end conversion, could work out similar pricing and youll get a crapload more torque and better off boost repsonse., even with the stocker 25 head and 25 turbo it should be a monster with no lag at all.

    • 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.
