Haha I wish I could but I don't have one. I must say though, you make up for that tiny turbo with a monster of a front mount! 8) Is that a coupe or a hatch? What was the reason for it going off the road? Motor swap, or did the motor die?

2871R's are quite potent for their size (check out batlground's 240 for proof).
oh, her car is a coupe by the way.

I am sure they are I was just kidding. Thats cool I love coupes with the silvia front end conversion on them, IMO it looks really good. Maybe some day I can sell my car and get one :D

My car had a motor meltdown.
meh, it happens... we all gotta blow up something at some point

oh and like Cody said, that little turbo packs a bigger punch than you might think, Batlground made 366whp on 17psi with that thing. With a lot of tuning of course...

Wow thats a beastly turbo for how small it is. Is that one of the disco potato turbos that boost kicks in full at around 2000 rpms? Yeah, I don't think my motors going to last me much longer. Of course it has 193k miles on it.. heh

it's actually sort of a newer and better version of the GT28RS (disco potato). i don't think either of them spool quite that fast (2k rpm), however it's still pretty good. rox can give you more details probably, i don't know all the specifics on it.
