Is the peak really that BIG of a difference?
Nope.. The GT28RS, will easily run on a RWD SR motor. Dave Coleman has one in his S13. It was originally tested on a Miata, and had great results. Rob Cadle introduced the turbo to JWT/Kojima, etc.. (the FWD SR crowd) Nissan's Steve Mitchell actually gave JWT a proto (no VIN) 2000 Sentra SE, to build with a GT28RS. The car was nicknamed the "Disco Potato", because of it's chameleon paint job, and the fact that it looks bulky/shaped like a potato. So, the name "Disco Potato Turbo" stuck to the GT28RS, and has been that way ever since.



This car was well rounded, and was brutally quick in the twisties.
