Skyline does comes with a Tip, but R34 onward.

I doubt its going to be more then 140kwatw thats including changing your engine internal too.

RPW had done few supercharged kits for FTO before, but the story is all of them had blowed up (All GPX apparently). So they went on to develop turbo charge instead, but that still a project after 4yrs.

If you going to supercharge a FTO, I suggest you get a GR instead of a GPX, with a GR you should be able to pull more power then a GPX as you don't have the hassle of MIVEC compatibility.

Hey if anyone is serious about t/charging you can PM or email me at info@redlinebarbados.com since all of my posts relating to turbocharging seem to be removed even though I am honestly only trying to educate others and myself.

I can help you with sourcing of parts and explain the process in detail step by step which will give you a better idea of what you need / how much it will cost, benefits, disadvantages etc.

I don't know which posts you talking about but i found your turbocharging posts. At least the main one are still there. Did you use the search button at the top of the page? The one on the left side is useless.

Ok realistically using the FTO MIVEC probably around the 130-140kW ATW and even then that's pushing it and can cost $$$.

Well mine is non mivec. i thought it would be putting out that at standard wats it running at now then????

your FTO is giving out arounf 100-110 KW at the wheel (ATW)

Well looks like ill be getting rid of something then (tip or fto)

the sky's the limit. individual TB's, high rev limit, custom forged crank, etc....

but for your money? hehe.

thought u said u'll be keeping the FTO for ages

yeah didnt realise i can only get 140kw though but i probably still will keep it probably get rid of the tip though.

Ok whats evry1's thoughts on, if and when i blow up gearbox putting in a 4 cylinder turbo of some description

has it been done before? easily? under 10k? successful?

With a manual gearbox of course

A long time ago, a member in Vic did all that to his FTO, but like i said, it only pull between 130-140kwatw. IMO, not worth the money.

For the money i rather just get anyone of those new turbo hot hatch. XR5, MKV GTI, MPS....etc.

Yes, check all those EVO thread.

Dude do u know how long that takes i thought u guys loved showing off your knowledge (even though sometimes goes way ova and beyond)

Wats the engine number for evo engine (not late model) like evo 4 or something

ok what about a sr20det engine or a mazda familar 1800t it would fit and with all the mucking round with 6a12tt engines would this not be a better conversion????

Didn't you said you CBF reading what we wrote before? So I for one CBF writing it all over again.

All evo engine are 4g63, just different internal, turbo and setup that makes them different.

Short answer is, you be spending more time and money to converting that then a 6A13TT.

I'm thinking of move this to the newbie section as a sticky, since this cover all the points which newbie will ask. And also they won't have to search through heaps of pages again to find it.

What do you think Redline? I8AFRE, i know you might like this idea, so you don't have to look for this post again when you need to refer to it.

And also I might add the other two link's at the "Project Corner" which redline had wrote before, so people can see the pictures which related to the topic.

No problem with me....anyone let me know if any part of it is confusing so i can modify it if need be.

Cool i'm going to split that post as a new thread.

Thanks Redline

Its done.
