yeah but can you get that in the states?
itd be nice if the companies that are making these badass motors, would actually put them on sale in the states.
People over here are dying to have performance vechicles, and the auto makers are playing it safe, to save their companies

Here is a quick video of one running a Skyline GTR down. Not bad for full weight and stock turbo, and he pats the gas twice....hehe

This is the only info i could find out about it:
Sleeved, 3.75" bore vice 3.66
Reworked stock crank
'special' rods, pistons purpose built for the turbo (well, duh!)
plenty of head work- raised exhaust ports (involves welding)
slightly bigger valves
reground cams with Jesel Ecotec followers (Ecotec, aka Saab design), cam phaser not used (timing gears locked, mine won't be)
obviously a hand-made intake and throttle body (Self racing)
a beefed up main girdle
and a decently sized turbo
and made 1300hp on just 20lbs of boost

I would go with a small A/R GT42. A 4.2 has plenty of cubes and is able to spool one quite easy. The engine above is nice and John meaney knows what he is doing when it comes to tuning that thing. BTW, the turbo is a GT47, and at the pump gas drags it layed down some 9.0's@150+.

PSJ-
It's amazing how much information can be absorbed by reading the thread before responding to it.
