RB

I figured it would be like Smokey Nagata calling his G35 a GT-R. As long as it puts down the numbers it is sort of acceptable:cool:.

I"m trying to work out an estimate on $$$ per hp. At first I was thinking 350-375 whp would be nice. Now I am getting wood thinking about having a 450-500 whp map. I think this motor is going to infect me with the hp bug.

I have always wanted to have a monster car, and have been heavily influenced by the loons out east. The biggest appeal the Rb has had to me is reliable hp, and lots of it. Here you don’t see much over 400 in them, but they seem to take 500 on stock interns quite well. That, and it seems hard to ever have enough hp…I think I am in trouble lol.

I know exactly what you mean.

Just make sure you get rid of the stock turbo before you get too boost happy, they’re prone to disintegrating. Happened to my old RB25 car to the guy I sold it to… except the motor ate the bits of turbo and kicked the bucket. Expensive mistake.

Fortunately RBs have a T3 flange so finding a bigger/better turbo is a piece of cake.
