2) Are there any fatal faults in the cars? Anything SPECIFIC I should look for when I'm buying?

3) With a forged rebuild, how many pounds would I be able to run and what power level should I expect? Same question for BPU.

4) Which has more potential; SR20DET or RB26DET?

5) Any common steps to increasing power (i.e. intake and exhaust, then EMS and fuel system, etc.)?

6) How do they hold up as daily drivers?


Please reply only with valid, mature responses, not "omg wut a noob lololol"

Thanks.
1) Do a sequential setup, K-5 Blitz twin turbo with a supercharger setup

2) Make sure it doesn't have a KA24 in it

3) OVER 9,000 PSI and HP

4) Gallo 12

5) Stock turbo's will hold 25psi

6) They totally suck Japan never intended for these engines to be Daily Driven or driven long distances
