Well, I should have a bad *** looking and performing N/A when I'm done. 1990 N/A...Power mods will be SAFCII, full intake and exhaust, aggressive porting, and a 75-100 wet shot of N20. For looks I'm going with a bomex kit all around (the only one that is affordable and fits well), and fresh black paint. It'll also have ADR M-Sport 18" wheels and RB lowering springs for a 1" drop. Thats honestly enough for me. I don't need anything faster than that will be capable of. I want a car that gets looks, I'm proud to drive, can beat the **** out of the occasional ricer, and is reliable. Hopefully I'll be done with everything but the porting in 2 months. That will come when I have the extra money to buy another engine and send it to be ported and rebuilt.

Is that incorrect TEd? Just pointing out that N/as have their own advantages.

It's incorrect in the sense that you can easily get a tII down to the weight of an N/A and get them to handle just as well.

That thing is gunna have ASSLOADS of tourqe, lol
Actually, everybody laughs at the car, because it's green and blue right now.  That's not me in the pic - it's the owner of this beast.  He shot the engine bay with a cheap single-stage paint, and this green was available - we're still not sure what color it's from, but I think it's a Ford OEM color.  The blue is actually the Subaru (championship?) blue on the WRX's.  I have no idea what color the car will be eventually painted - the owner keeps changing his mind almost every week!

Right now, we're starting to get it tuned.  It's running very funky numbers (EGT's are REALLY low), and the power is not quite all there yet.  I'd be surprised it only put down 200hp at the wheels right now, and it doesn't feel that much faster than a 13B.  We need to get it on a dyno!  The 20B is dead stock internally, so that might be hurting it's power output.

We're hoping to break at least 250, with target numbers in the 270 to 280 range at the wheels.  Right now, we're not even close, according to the butt dyno.

Yeah, the engine makes torque all over the place, but it's not eye-opening.

More new pics I took last night...







Enjoy!
