yeah i agree, a less agressive bodykit and a nice subtle wing would have been better.you should see 250whp atleast on 10 psi of boost, and possibly 275 with a bit more.dont get your hopes up for insane hp, it isnt gonna happen with that setup but what you have should be good for response as well as decent hp.

It's not the whole body kit... just the front bumper that is too ornate for my taste. But, to each his own... Otherwise... awesome car!

I can't wait to see what your results are as your mod list sounds pretty darn close to mine.

Noob question: how come it doesnt say RB20 on the cam cover? Are the R32 motors the only RB20s that have that written on the front?

newer motors dont say RB20 on them, they're known as Series II or series 2

Are you saying the R32 had two different series of the RB20? Ive never heard that before.

Maybe its just an RB25 cam spocket cover...

If you want to see the diffrence in the cams YOU will see that the hump is for Vtc which the 20 did not have. zerothread?id=119601

nissan never officaly called these motors s1 or s2 motors, i simply gave them that designation because of diffrences between the 2 as it was helpful in helping ppl get the right parts for their motors as parts on one motor may be slightly diffrent from the other.there are a few electrical and physical changes to the motors, nothing insane but enough of a diffrence to cause a headache.
