20G, no significant times ? are mid to hi 11s not "significant" in a full wt street car? To find out the capabilities of a 16 or 20, I only pay attention to results from experienced DSM'ers.If you're not 12.2-12.6 on a 16G, you are not ready for an upgrade....on the 20G, "smart folks" have "typically" gone 11.6s range. There are those exceptional cars that have gone faster, but so many factors then come into play; car weight, engine management, tuning quality, worked gboxes, driving style & ability, etc - alot of things that don't show up on a timeslip, you may not be willing to do to a daily driver.Only "newbies" overemphasize fast spool up. 20s are great street turbos, with only a 3-400 difference in spoolup vs a 16, but hit harder. Makes a difference what hotside u run too.Another thing I like is, for what a 20G is capable of, u don't really have to run a big ol clumsy external wastegate.Veteran DSM guys have gone no faster on a big16 than they did on the small. For a new turbo, 16G is "bang for da buck" king, imo.If going used seems like its worth your time, 14B is a great turbo.... but then, so is a junkyard 2.3 ford T3Even with their 2.0 60ft disadvantage vs awd 1.7-1.8s, S13s seem to ET better on the same turbo. Greasers S13 pulled a 1.4 with nothing exotic, so that should tell you about the S13 chasis capability.there's nothing stopping anyone from running an evo, green or whatever on a nissan. Your supporting mods will be no different than a DSM and I seriously doubt your performance will be any less rewarding. Just do it
