I'd say it's definitely possible, though you'd have to wait for someone who has a greater technical knowledge than myself to answer it for you.

PS. Why would you want to go from Turbo to non-turbo :O?

My intentions are, if possible, to create an engine with an RB25DET head and RB30ET bottom in running condition without turbo for a P-Plate legal car and adding turbo + accessories later.

Just doing the homework before making any moves.

Ahh makes sense then! The current P Plate laws are pretty ridiculous if you ask me.

Quite unfortunate that you're stuck with them...

Quick question, are there any parts in the RB30ET engine or the RB25DET head that cannot function properly without a turbo or without external turbo parts?

No problem if you cant answer :)

the engine may Ping and suck alot of fuel you will need to replace computers and a few other parts not sure. a8 turbo engines are rare and are worth abit so if i were you buy a stock vl engine for like $250 and keep the turbo engine for when your off these gay p plate laws

youd be better off using a low km stock engine with a 25 head. the only difference between vlt motor is diferent intake and lower comp ratio

better way to put this is ...

How to wait for the main() task of transactor to finish, all implicit phases of test, env, and xactor are getting executed and $finish is called before even the main() executes a single line... WoW Gold Cheap WoW Gold

you can't have a 25 head on a 30 block on your p's anyway its still a modified engine and you cant run any mods on your p's
