project: keeping the rb20 *student budget*

[jessem]

I bought the car little over a year ago in the form of bone stock 1990 gtst,when it got to canada i put an apex i air filter, hks turbo timer and a momo wheel. Drove it for a while like this and got use to driving on the better side.
Soon after came some 17 inch work rezax, and some Gab adjustable coilovers, so i could get some decent bite for drifting, as well as a mbc. Spent this summer driving with this set up, got to racecity and tried my hand at some track sliding as well as many industrial area nights. but decided it was time to step up the car a bit.
Ive collected some parts for it to be installed over winter, trying to get my best bang for the buck on every part i bought, the list right now is as follows:
series 1 rb25 turbo
cometic head gasket
arp headstuds
act extreme un sprung race clutch
front mount intercooler
And soon to come:
turbo back exhaust
stinky ecu
nismo thermostat

Im hoping i can maintain a cool street car with decent driftability for a reasonable budget. And to make everyone happy a few pictures, more to come with more progress.

What it looked like when i first bought it.


Near the end of this year

*its gonna need some more lowering as well so dont harp on me over it

its a razo one
cheap and suttle is the best in my mind

whoa, we gots the same shift nob! lol
your set up is going to be sick next summer, but the higher boost lag that comes with the rb25 turbo on the rb20 is gunna change how your drifting. Got to keep it at higher rpm, and your second gear slides are going to be way more intense.

paint your inner fenders.

Yeah i got a buddy with a 25 turbo in his and i see what your saying little learning curve to it, but right now i got a stock exhaust so im hoping with a turbo back set up i can get back to some what where i was with the 20 turbo.


as for the inner fenders, they were just dirty at the time so stand out more then they should

[jessem]

little update
motor is out
head should be out for decking next week
just waiting on exhaust and some gaskets still then put it all togther

Keep up the rb20 faith!

[sabotage]

gtst dont need rb25-26 to make them move,thereway lighter and with a good
driver will put you in your seat(supporting mods of course)
