Questions about R32 GTST and GTR

[Yoshiii]

Hello every,

Cool site here.

Ive read through lots of stuff here, older stuff and have some questions.

I am going to buy a R32 GTST or a GTR if I have the money.

 

If I get a R32 GTST and dont do the RB25 swap, with the stuff thats out today,{turbos, etc} is there any way to make the GTST with 400-450 hp and be responsive on the street so Civic Type R's and 370's arent blowing by me?

If I get a R32 GTR, is there any way to make a good 500-600 hp and have decent torque for the street?

Just need to upgrade hot side for GTR and ECU upgrade. Simple. Won’t get 500 but will be fun enough.

Is this the same Yoshiii from a couple of years back?

Twin T04Z's on the RB20. Will decimate all.

Thanks all, I know Americans are just now getting the cars, but hey.

I have seen a couple here in the states, so cool.

So you mean no way the rb 20 can do it?

Yes, there we go 

 

Thank you for the inputs.

I will check these out.

 

I need to buy the car first but want to research now.  

 

RB 20's are liked in the states.   But I keep reading that RB25's are better for the 32.

Not too hard I guess.  Do you mean to upgrade the exhaust?  As long as it will perform well.

An rb20 is a 30yr old 2lt without variable cam timing, they are shit.

Buy a gtr then spend 60g on that then it is good

RB20 + M90 supercharger + GT42 turbo. 30 psi ought to do it.

If your in 'merica, drop a crate LS in the R32 GTST.

Or at least a RB25.

Personally, the only money I would spend on a RB20 would be to service it.

If you want fast, the RB20 is a poor starting point.

Unless you want original, then, just service it and don't race anything faster than a Toyota Yaris.

If you don't use a crate LS, send one to me, thanks....

Actual correct answer, it’ll actually get halfway decent fuel mileage too if you fix the gearing.
