Hi y'all,

Just wondering what would be the end outcome of running some juicy boosty goodness through a N23W 4G63, would I have:
  1. Flogged out donk
  2. Blown to pieces donk
  3. Nice quick donk
Furthermore, how much could a stock, N/A '63 handle before I start doing fun stuff like kissing valves and throwing legs out of bed and such??

I have seen people run 8-13 psi on NA motors with good results. Ultimately, it comes down to proper engine management.

Does your car use a distributer ignition or coils, like turbo cars?
 
I wouldn't replace factory packs... They are quite good and reliable!

But that is good, that means that you should be able to use a turbo ECU, the only difference should be your knock sensor, which is easy to add.
 
Just how much rain do you guys get down under to be so conserved with coil's waterproofing? :)

I get my coils wet all the time and never had a problem. As for power, people make 700-800hp on stock coils with or WITHOUT any amplifiers!
 
i'm still currently N/A (ACL pistons) with 1.2bar down its throat and its fine for the past 3 years

previous engine before was N/A (stock pistons) with .8bar for 2 years....

previous engine was N/A (stock pistons) with 10psi Eaton Supercharger.. for about a year...

you will find better response from having N/A+T....

if you're changing coils i would suggest going Coil on Plug setup instead... other wise as above, the stock coils do fine....

Tuning is CRITICAL!
 
The standard jummy setup is directly behind radiator fan on end of the head and plugs are on front of engine too. I can under stand why you may have problems.
But the rvr has coils on far side of the head and you could relocate and protect them more if required. The plugs are in middle of the head so they are better too.
I would ensure all splash shields are installed, and maybe have a switch to turn engine fan off when going for a bath... And your snorkel as well. I reckon this would just about stop water getting in
 
Sorry, I forgot that many of you have those goofy intercoolers :). So you would get more direct water on your coils.

What about relocating the coils? We offer do that when using sheet metal intake manifold.

this is exactly what i thought, that the stockers would be ok for 8ish psi, but there was a few posts on Dsmtuner that say they dont handle much/any boost, so i was unsure that they would be ok

they will handled up to 1bar fine, so long as everything is backing it up..... Injectors, Ecu/tuning etc..... you also tend to find less lag, better fuel economy, and just over all better response....

only major annoying thing would be, changing the sump over to the turbo model sump for the oil return... sounds easy but its a paint in the ass....


should also mention my experience is with 6bolt bottom ends..... in regards to 7 bolt, i have not yet had the pleasure of modding one...
