CAPA have a kit for 6k that makes 230rwkw on the standard NA engine!If I was going to do anything to an NA this would be itBut I still recomend going a T to start with Chooka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was driving around in a VL for a year and was gonna spend a sh*tload on that but I'd like something nicer and newer.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdm Member 886 Member For: 22y 5m Posted 04/04/06 10:47 AM Share Posted 04/04/06 10:47 AM Buy the T and drive it on your P's. Suck it and see. Remove the turbo badges and don't put up P plates...If you don't act like a dick your chances of getting caught are slim. What's the penalty?

FG50T Member 568 Member For: 21y 27d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 04/04/06 02:45 PM Author Share Posted 04/04/06 02:45 PM Yeah it will eventually be at around the 300-350rwkw mark. I spoke to Vicroads and if I drop a T motor in I have to notify and insurance them and it will class the car as illegal. So I'll be turbo'ing the N/A, if the conversion is too much messing around or time consuming as I will need it for uni next year and I'll be buying the car mid-late this year... If it is I will probably buy an S15 200sx and wait til I'm off my p's and get my T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tquarrell Member 181 Member For: 20y 7m 9d Gender: Male Location: Sydney, NSW Posted 04/04/06 07:12 PM Share Posted 04/04/06 07:12 PM I think it'd be easier to buy a T and take the badge off. Drive it sensibly and the cops won't think anything of it and it will achieve the same outcome as fitting a turbo to an na, with a less hassles and a lower cost. That said, I'd be checking out insurance before getting to carried away. Ford build them so you don't have to, and besides, the factory put much more into these engines than meets the eyes.
