where'd you get that filter setup from?

good choice of turbo too, well selected.

[Steve]

sounds sweet - any reason you didnt go SR?

[Beer Baron]

that sounds great and will be a nice package. I have to say though I personally reckon the RB20 is a down grade from the black top SR20 you had in there...

[Andi]

GT30 turbo is niiiiceeee... Why'd you go to RB man? Should of kept your SR20! Wheres the love and pride man?! Haha

[Steve]

Did he have an SR in there before? (noting he is in the US, and the S14 came out with a 2.4L na engine)

point taken. in that case yes, smart move.

[carl h]

haha, yeah we wernt lucky enought to have the sr in our cars over here, altho with the money ive spent on the rb i could have had a right nasty ka24de.

its got its ups and downs but ive almost got her running right, once i sort out the strange boost problem (boost isnt constant, always changes) it should be fun to sneak up on ppl with.

*edit*

over here in the us its about 3.5-4k usd for a good sr front clip, where as the rb20 only cost me 1.2k usd.

while i may have spent alot of money on this setup it cost me less to build this than it would have cost to swap in a stock sr.

[Jolinator]

rb20 also sounds a trillion times better

[Cefiro_PWA]

Can you PLEASE tell me where you got that filter setup from?

[Andi]

Haha good move than mate! Hmm maybe the 6 cylinders can be better in some ways.

[Sumo]

sweet as.

well according to SydneyKid an engine with more cylinders and the same capacity will make more power mod for mod (I think that's what he said). So a SR20 and a RB20 mod for mod will have the RB make more power.

What throttle body are you running?

[carl h]

stock TB, rob at RIPS said that it should be good to 450bhp and if i needed more the manifold is set up for an overbore TB.

as for the filter setup, its nothing more than some wire mesh i got at the craft store (1/4" spacing i believe) and a 'detailers pad' i got at the local parts store with the foam removed.

filter gets dirty quick so it requires frequent changing, lucily its cheap to replace (bout 3$usd for a pack of 4).
