old '91 lancer, 1.5L carby fed, 5 spd manual. I had that thing level pegging with 6 cyl auto falcons and commos. Well 'till 4th anyway, thats where the whole lack of torque thing started to show.

Airbox removal, better than that k&n shit everyone wanks over.

Ok how much money do you have to spend? Cause I know of an awsome bargain. A mate of mine bought an R32 GTS4 (4wd skyline with RB25) with a worked RB26 single turbo for $19000. It had custom paintjob, body kit all the bling and 400RWHP when he bought it. After a while he blew the motor and ended up spending $35000 on a rebuild with all the fruit. The engine made 305RWKW on 15psi and is built to handle 25psi day in day out but he doesn't have a proper electronic boost controller setup to run 25psi yet (has it but not installed). He all of a sudden has had a change of heart after just running in the new motor and wants an old school V8 (looking for an old camaro if you know of one) and is selling the skyline. He is asking $25000. This thing has a new GTR N1 block, worked oil galeries, after market oil pump (important) worked head with big valves and cams, greddy intake with 100mm throttle body, single turbo on aftermarket tuned length manifold, 3.5" zorst, twin Z32 AFM intake, Apexi power FC, custom paint job, custom bonnet, suspension, new tyres, and registered and RWC in QLD.

I suggest you PM me for the bargain of the century.

if you want a N/A one that you can put a turbo, i am selling one for a mate on fleabay for $6,000 It's an R32 with an R33 motor, non-turbo, but it has a turbo compliance plate on it so it can be added without any dramas. It has i'm told after market coil over suspension, alarm/imobiliser, power windows, a fooly sic stereo, new tyres, 10 months rego..... looks ok.
PM me if you are interested and i'll give you his number.

Mate this thing is built for 25psi+ with big cams and head work, 305kw (at all wheels sorry is what I should have written) was on 15psi. With another 10psi that motor should make and easy 500+kw

^^^^An extra 200kw with 10 more psi!?!?!

I have a r33 gtst 4door series 1. Power fc, front mount, full 3inch exhaust, pod, standard turbo running 10psi and it puts out 198kwatw. Its got about 160 xxxkm on the original engine and has never missed a beat. Have owned it and flogged its guts out for the last 12months and the only thing I replaced was the coilovers due to the ones it was imported with had flogged out and new tyres. As well as normal servicing stuff like oils fitlers etc and plugs on a major service.

If you regualy service and maintain them they are a very tough car and you shouldnt have many problems at all.

Yes and extra 200, like I said it is built for high boost, high boost motors don't work that well on low boost.

And canada it's a bloke I work with, it's gold over silver two tone with the plates 90NER (goner)
