Is it something similar to the skyline RB lump then, they have quite a few different cc sizes with most of them twin turbo :twisted: 8) loads of upgrades/tweeks available, hope youve got bottomless pockets, but I id love to see a 2.5 sec 0-60 in a MK2 8) 8) 8)

Your'll have to give that slow old Escort away then, dont worry, I can alway make space for her on my drive :wink: :wink: :!:

we been waiting for capri bits to turn up so i had a play wiv my rusty transit tonite :shock:
OMG AND ITS FOOOOKIN RUSTY :lol: removed the plastic trims of the steps and the rubber step pads and wished i had'nt,theres holes everywhere :( :lol:
i also went for a little drive up the dirt track and i had forgotton how bad steering boxes are,not that its got play in it but how many turns lock to lock,jesus its like driving an old bus :lol:
thought id decided on an engine too (an sr20det) but they are just as expensive as a skyline motor :( maybe i'll just chuck a v6 in it :lol:

Would it be matt black with white wheels?
2.5 inline six, single turbo?

I just happened to MOT a 200sx fitted with a skyline engine yesterday. Spooky. It is quite a tight fit in the 200.

Thats one of the base engines they used for the Nissan world rally cars, I was reading they are really popular due to being really compact. The 2ltr having 200ps as standard straight out of a bluebird/pulsar etc.
