My Ca18det Swapped 300hp 87 200sx gave out on me so i traded it off for this 240 shell

yeah i posted those on tnc,

on a side note the RB for my Jdm silvia Is in the GTR, so at the minute it’s two cars. not much to see anyways all the work on my 600hp RB is on the inside when you see pics of the bay the only thing that hints it’s even modded is the HKS Hard Pipes and the huge FMIC, the turbo’s are from a real gt500 R34 Race car, and are staright bolt ups so it’s kinda like looking at the bay of a ztune, sure it’s nice but you don’t know what it’s really packing.

if you guys want i’ll put up threads detailing each of the JDM Car build ups.

also regarding the hud, may dad wasn’t able to get any clear pics so i didn’t put them up. it is badass tho, those who have seen it can attest to it

Hey Ted, It’s Brent here. Using Chris’s profile cause it’s on my laptop,hehe. Here’s the pics of the build up.

All the work was done at BSC Motorsports. Except of course the wiring, any of you that know Ted know he’s a freak with the wiring, so of course he did a bunch of it at home.

Modifying the subframe

Intake cleaned up and painted(the finish wasn’t so hot and it was too much work to finish polishing it)
