VH Turbo? What works? Also auto trans question.

[Jedwards]

Hey guys, Just wondering what would happen, other than blowing up my auto trans, if i reved the standard 6 cylender in neutral, then dropped it into drive or low or something..
Would the standard gear kill itself first try?

And im thinking of turboing my 202 blue, its bog stock, does the standard motor take low boost turbos?
Im mainly after a increase in acceleration, but not high boost, i would like to use it as a daily still.
I was thinking about putting a rb25, or rb30 into it, but im not sure if thats what i want to do, If i could i would like to keep the motor i have.
Could i use a rb30 turbo or something simmilar? and what would i have to do to get it to work?
Pretty sure a new manifold will be needed, but im not too sure what else i would need to do.
Thanks guys, I appreciate it.

i say he should do do it. we should all support his efforts to try something 'different'.

OP, i reckon you should probably stick around 10psi of boost in. stock engines are pretty tough and skylines and silvias all run about 12, so itll be less that those cars. so itll be fine.

do it and post results.


also: pictures, before and after pls

Why wouldnt he be? Although i would run around 8 PSI, and use a cork head gasket to minimise the chance of damage to pistons. The cork acts as a natural protecting agent and "absorbs" detonation

Mate don't go turbo when you can supercharge it.

[vkberlina]

Turbo or blown its been done before what ever you do to to your 202 I can do to my 5with better results. What ever I do to my 5L someone can do to their LS1 with better results. and so on and so on.

Pick a better platform to begin with I have done the blown route, I kept blowing head gaskets, then o-ringed copper gaskets and I broke pistons then I broke rods followed quickly by the block . it was a money pit. I have the same power out of my 5L, heaps more torque and way way more reliability which is the biggest thing.

If you must play with turbos stick an RB25DETT or an RB30DETT in it, plenty of cheap parts, engines easily modded and way more bang for your buck.

Oh BTW it you have an 8bolt salisbury you may break axles doing the slam into gear thing or bugger up a tail shaft or the lot. Ask questions like that and we think your a tool.

I like that setup! any more info on it? looks like an lc/lj torrie with m90 and gas research?

[VBRED]

That is a TTT Performance set up. They are sponsors of this forum.

Or this set up. Needs a serious bonnent scoop to hide it.

That's cool also! .. I wonder why they didn't mount the blower about 2 foot lower... looks like a us-spec m90 off a grand prix or something?

very interesting positioning of the blower - especially considering intake on the other side etc, and draw through lpg carb backfire awesome-ness!... another "ttt performance" setup?

[VBRED]

No I would say this one is back yard. Check out the bracket for the belt tensioner pulley.Looks like a conrod. Top marks for ingenuity.

no .

[L67 Calais]

didn't think so. others are

[Jedwards]

hahahahahaha i love this thread <3
This was mainly for extra information.
Im not sure if im going to keep the car yet, but if i am, im either gonna go rb25/30 or a v8 of some sort...
The auto thing was mainly for shi*s and giggles...
Im thanking you guys greatly for all information and Criticism given. But yeah, im not actually going to do this.. I was mainly curious to what others think, what Criticism ill get and pretty much everything that has been posted in this tread.
Thanks guys, you have actually been helpful (:

Just google turbo 202

[Jedwards]

I searched youtube, that was quite entertaining (;

My mate did the neutral drop thing in his vc once and it instantly shattered the diff center, didnt even rock the car!!

[Jedwards]

Thats just what im fearing..... :/ how high was he revving it? redline? and what he drop it into, d, 2, L?
Does it make a difference what gear its dropped into?

[Jonno]

i was driving today nand acedently dropped it into neutral :S no idea what i did :|

[Jedwards]

ohh i did that once, but i thought i had it in 2nd... turns out it was in drive...
but i shifted it calmly back into drive, no revs.. Dont really wanna damage it as its my daily..

Okay boys, News, Im actually, seriously thinking about a RB30 Turbo or something out of a VL being bolted into my VH.
I have looked around and i can easily get whole running VL turbos fairly cheap.
Im saving for another daily, hopefully a 4x4, then i think once thats done, ill seriously get a VL turbo and start the conversion, Of course i would like it to be legal and all, so ill have to get a engineer aswell.
I believe i could do this, and it would actually be fairly decent. I will post pictures and do a portfolio and all when i start, If i am going to go ahead with it.
I thought about scrapping it all and going for a VL, but I personally prefer the look of a VH, and the one I have is in fairly good condition.
