> I say build up the 20, The 20 doesnt have a very good head. So you build up the head on it, New cams and shafts lifters ext… Bore out the motor to a 2.2L slap a Gt30 and get a good tune, New injectors and ext… Lots of work but youll run good power and youll spend maybe 8k on that if not less.

8K? WTF!

An Rb25 is less than 2500 dollars.

With a GT30, fuel pump, a good tune, a FMIC, an intake manifold, you’re looking at less than 6K.

Do you guys realize how easy it is to hit 400WHP with bolt on’s with a 25? Have you seen torque figures on the 25? It’s effin ridiculous and in a lot of cases, puts out more torque than a 26 up to a certain level.

You can BOLT in a RB25, get an exhaust and a good tune for 14PSI. (Right on the edge of what the turbo can handle) and make 350. Just like that.
