From what I've read on the tranny, it should be very breakable with a 20BT in front of it. Perhaps if you break it while dyno tuning, we'll have a very good idea of what power levels it'll cope with before grenading?

Awesome project...

The Electronics is already done. That was actually the first thing they did.

The turbo is a T78 Dual Ballbearing turbo, By Innovative turbo System. It is a Q-trim wheel, with an A/R of 1.32

The reason we wanted to use the 3 Rotor intake Manifold, is because i want the car to look like that engine actually came with the car ( hehe) remember this is goin to be a show car/ race car. for the street.

That engine bay is friggin huge! What exhaust are you running out of it? I'm curious what a stock-like setup would sound like with the 20B exhaust pulses.

The turbo we are using, comes with the Exhaust Housing 5". Remember guys the 20b engine creates alot of heat. So we need to bring the heat out as soon as possible. If not we'll have back-pressure. With Back pressure i'll be cracking the manifold, and the motor will suffer.

Alot of work and alot of wiring, we made everything harder cause we kept the hole suspension stock. So that way i wont get no bumpstear or nothing. Because we did it this way, we had to custom make new mounts, oil pan, and couple more parts. You will have to call up the shop, for more info, speack to them
