what about high flowing it? like 3.5" piping right from the turbo to the Q45 throttle body? is it worth the extra cost? ---

no. bigger is not better. You want to force the air into the motor. not let it sit in big ass pipes. 2 1/2 is the biggest anyone should go. unless your pushing like 30+ psi. 3-4" exhaust from the turbo. the less bends and curves in ANY of the piping will make everything more efficient. ---

And that is basically what I am trying to say…to R33 or w/e the fuck his name is. 350hp to the wheels…on a GOOD track/track day, hooking up nice WILL pull an amazing number. Honestly. Get an S-chassis’ Throw REAR coils on. Good slicks and 350-400hp. See what time you run. SR’s have run 13.5-13.0’s stock hooking up nice. Yet, we’re talking RB’s. Imagine. Ronnie’s got it down!😉 ---

The only reason there are barely any 10 sec cars on here is cause not many people on here know what to do to achieve a 10 second run half the people on here dont even have a proper tune…and drive lol ---

Ya alot do drift their cars…grab a sr20 unless you really despise not alot of torque but its not that bad I myself am building a sr20 redtop gt2871r, pfc, jtw s3 cams, stock manifold extrude and honed, greddy IM and etc. Should be running over 380hp at 18psi thats more than enough I guarantee, i wont be running at 18psi untill I get used to 10-14psi dont wanna go crazy right away lol. From what I have heard 350hp is alot in a s13 especially with no interior and what not so yeaa sr20det can do but if you really are against getting one I would go rb25 from the rb series just my opinion…good luck though ---

RB has good torque. I don’t dislike SR’s at all and in some ways are the better option. They’re a lot simpler of a bolt in and parts are way more readily available. I just like RB’s for the feel, smoothness, sound and sick sick response to mods and god damn, there’s just something I can’t put my finger on. ---
