[rad100]

i did search haha but i think i didnt enter correct things lol

[gun32gtr]

lol its easy to do...

[rad100]

i was just thinking ppl praise 32gtr's wats the diff putting a 26 in a gtst? arent they the same? just need to put new box in and a few other things!! what do stock 26's pull?? 250rwkw+????

[R31Nismoid]

well if you haven't got around 7-8k to put down on the table right now (and then another 1-3k depending)

Its really not worth getting into im afraid as its not cheap.

Then there is running costs etc. And a lot of potential problems that if you dont fix, you will end up potentially having (so add maybe, another 3-10k there aswell)

ah ok would a 25 be better then???

i dunno which road to go because i want more power (eventually) about 300!! or close to!

give me some ideas???

cheers!

[R31Nismoid]

Well 300 isnt cheap either way you look at it mate.

Whats your budget, use of the car... etc etc.

Then we can decide what you can realistically get vs what you think you can get... and the best way to go about it

[rad100]

ok its my daily driver and 250 would be good! and ill spend money if i have to! and i love gtr's thats y i thought 26 but herd 25 is really good in 32's!! can i get 250-270 in rb20???

[R31Nismoid]

Ah ha! You can get 250 in your RB20

Infact there is a massive thread on it... and other threads
