Yo,
Well since my good friend Dana is turbo'ing his GTUs:
https://www.rx7club.com/forum/showth...hreadid=161663
https://www.rx7club.com/forum/showth...hreadid=167914
I guess I am going to have to go Turbo to keep up with him. Unlike his plans, I'm am going to go stand alone right away, Haltech baby! Also, since he's going with the stock turbo...I'm going with a Greddy TD06SH 20G-16cm turbo from RX7.com.
My goal is a reliable and safe 325RWHP. This is over double what my NA 13B is putting out! I'm tired of getting beat by my brother's Integra GS-R and my friends Civic Si.
I'm sorry all my NA brothas, but I'm selling out. I've had the car for almost 4 years now and I need more power! With the Haltech and mild PSI I will be running I'm sure the motor will be fine.
May the Boost be with you!

Yo,
It was inevitable, me and Dana have this titanic power struggle going on. It's like an Arms Race.
He goes Turbo...
I got bigger Turbo...
He's probably going to scrap the stock turbo now since I've announced this...
Oy!

Yo,
Nah, the TII is too fat and has too much extra crap on it. By Turbo'ing a GTUs you actually get the best of both worlds, the stripped FC and the turbo powerplant. It's like a Infini IV!
I guess I have to practice changing out the rear diff mounts now...

dude, you are the one guy I thought would never butcher his N/A. Why don't you get a giant street port and true duals? it'd be a lot easier and you'd spank the cars you mentioned above, while still being super reliable.
If you're dead set on going turbo, you should probably just sell the GTUs rather than destroying it, and buy a turbo. it'd be a lot easier and cheaper for you.

Yo,
Cheers, it is no April Fool's joke, I will take some pics tomorrow of all the gear!
I have a Turbonetics Deltagate adjustable wastegate, FMIC, hardpipes, down pipe, the whole shebang!
You'll see.

He has to be lying, because the tdo6 licks *****, especially for low boost.
Get a 60-1 for the 10-14 range and your get that kind of power. Plus its cheaper.

i wonder which kinda of LSD weighs the least?
Clutch
Torsen
VLSD
I'd have to say Torsen would probably be the heaviest (all metal worm gears)
VLSD or Clutch? Anyone know?
clutch is better performance wise, just wears out (so will possibly be very worn on an FC)
