A nice BNR Stage 3 S5 turbo setup would be a really nice setup. Along with a microtech or PowerFC. You could be looking at some very respectible numbers with all the right supporting mods. Around 300-350whp easy on a very nice tune.
You'll miss the 9k rpm redline, but the torque makes up for it :P

thanks for the comments guys. the motor i will be using is a 13bt cosmo, and i will miss the sweet buzzing at 9k rpm
but hopefully some good power will make up for it

thanks for taking an interest, so far my plans are to just finish the car, at the moment it will be a street car and maybe later when i get tired of trying to keep registration on it then i will convert into a track only car, i live in Aus and its not cheap to build a car here, it would have cost twice as much to build a 20b.
this is the cros member being designed and the upper inlet manifold has to be shifted 2 inches forward to clear the fire wall, a custom lower section needs to be fabricated.

^can someone tell me more about the 13bt, I don't think I have heard of it before. What makes it better than a 13b? I assume it is more than just a turbo, otherwise you could just strap that onto a regular 13b...
thanks
Cool project btw

installing a 20b is a much more complicated job and here in Aus literally costs twice as much. sorry for confusing with reference to 13bt, the t is just for turbo.
diference between turbo and NA is engine compression otherwise pretty much same motor. as you can see in one of the pics i am using a 13B from a Mazda/Eunos Cosmo which comes standard as a twin turbo engine. for this project i will be using a single turbo.
