waste of time swap IMHO should've gone SR 20DET or ca18DET...Rb20E only has 130HP from that heavy azz engine!!!

Nice work, Speed. I know you should be happy with this set-up, it being more your speed! Can't wait to see it in action... and certainly with the turbo! Keep strong.

It did yeoman's service in a 4-wheel drive for a while, then I used the head in the Vauxhall. Will clean it up and drop it in an Escort sometime next year.

i not bashing the build lol..gl with d build though speed hope to see the finished product soon.

in terms of the manifold. you can put up a WTB post in the auto parts section. might have better luck there.

instead of drag, why not keep it non turbo, prep the chassis and run it at TIME ATTACK

nice suspension and you should do niceeeeeee.

ok ok, ill stop with the time attack stuff lol.

RB20E? lets see how much you will spend to get it to do 200hp-250hp , stock rb20 turbo and manifold $2000 , 6 turbo injectors $1000 , (6) 8.0:1 Low Compression Pistons as these will have 9.5:1 High Compression Pistons which is a hazard if you want to get good power from it $1000, RB25DET Air flow Meter i guess $500 , SAFC $1500 = $6000 For a safe reliable Motor that might get you 200hp+ and last a few years as the Stock RB20ET is 170hp from the factory.

The RB20ET from factory does 170hp On 7psi most likely, so if the RB20E Can get you 145 hp n/a thats 170-145= 25hp and then divide it by 7, thats 3.5hp per pund of boost , so on 15 psi you might get around the 200hp mark Mayb more mayb less cause i learnt this for four cylinders lol.

you might want to do some reading at these threads Buddy.
long story short , unless you are very lucky fella , you will have to custom make a Complete Turbo Manifold or buy a rb20det extractor , cut the flange off, machine/lazer cut out a new Flange and weld it on , RB20DET Extractor Manifold $1500 (no sense doing it on a cast iron) Custom Flange $800 , Stainless Steel welding $800 mayb mor mayb less by BCR. Or complete Manifold because those are for Nissan Chassis by BCR around say $5000 (an sr20 one is around 3500-4000).

make sure and read out these , be prepared for dissapointment though.
