If its the turbo I think it is you would be going backwards fitting it up to an RB20 in my opinion making it a downgrade as opposed to an upgrade.

Yes, outright power will increase but the lag associated with it is horrible and the power delivery is very harsh making it a pig to drive on the street. The engine will be asleep up untill 4-4,500rpm (if your lucky) then BAM! it all hits at once and its hard to control.

It is able to make well over 200rwkw but you will need cooler,exhaust,fuel system and management to make the most of it but why bother with a dinosaur of a turbo?

      Echo the comments about the well preserved condition it's in. It has the aero bumper too for extra points. Nice car, and please keep it like that! 🙂

      Dual exhaust questions

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      1. There are no real performance benefits. It sounds different, and as the pipes are not as large diameter you can claw back some undercar clearance or run lower (if that's your thing). 2. Twin pipes, offering exactly the same cross sectional area as a single pipe** will have higher pressure drop - so will not flow as well. That's because there is more surface area of wall per cross sectional pipe area, hence more frictional losses. ** But of course, it is almost impossible to get 2 pipes that are exactly the same XS area as a given typical single pipe. eg, 2x2" is not the same as 1x 3", although it is close. If the 2x pipes add up to less XS area than the single - it will just be flat out worse. If the 2x pipes add up to a bit more than the single, then it might come out as a wash. If the 2x pipes are substantially more XS area than the single, then it will probably flow a little better. 3. No. Why would there be? What have cats got to do with boost creep?*** ***But for f**ks' sake, please run a cat. 4. If you want.

      I was going to say it looks right out of Gran Turismo photoshoot when you just buy the car. (in a good way)
