Dozer's right; a couple people here have successfully swapped the twins off an FD and applied them to the renny. Works like a charm, you just need to know how to weld a few parts.

why the F do you always use "you do know" in most of the sentences in threads similar to this?

RENESIS aka JOHN does the same thing in real life.....

Oh **** you're right; that Gorilla Glue tape would be more than enough.

I wouldn't even try and stuff twins under the hood of an 8. It would be way too much work...

If you go twin turbos you will need the new cooling solution from BHR .

I'll see if I can find a pic.
