its all about how you apply the power. if you do a high rpm launch on slicks, youre asking for it. if you transfer the power carefully, youll be fine. or just get some moser axles from www.re-speed.com and stop sweating it

back in the day, i remember a few people back home put that 2.3-liter-piece-of-turbocharged-Ford-crap in Rx-7s, and prejudices aside, the cars ran pretty hard! i actually like the SR20DET, so why the hell not? it's your coin and at the end of the day you'll be the one that has to live with it. ought to be pretty interesting ...

Sorry for the delay... I took a "nap" yesterday and didn't wake up until ~6:30 this morning. I've been doing allot of traveling so I guess it just all caught up to me.
S13 Blacktop
It's stock for now with only custom intake and 3" exhaust. I'll only claim it has factory rated power.
I'm running a 3" cat' and only what the was on the engine from factory.
No pics, I promised aws140 that when I take the FB down for paint this winter I'll get some pics of what I did. However I plan to do another transmission cross memeber just make it neater than what I have and also I'm going to try to run a 240sx's R&P so that will aslo negate the need to drill the x-member for the FB lower control arms.
Running the factory ecu with stock boost and turbo. I plan to upgrade to the disco potato t28 next year.
Doubtful if even close to stock. I've driven enough n/a 7's to know that it's damn near imposible to get them out of their own way 
.
No diff in the S13 black and red @ 200hp... just small design changes S14 black is quoted at ~220hp and the s15 black to be ~250hp.
It only took me < three months of lazy work from the time I got the engine to the time I was lighting up the tires. The biggest issues I had were the exhaust (first time I've done one) and the gas tank to seal after I grafted a FC fuel pump assymbly to it.
Exactly

From 150Kw in the original Bluebird (redtop) to 183Kw in the S15 (blacktop)...you know, just for good measure...
