Ok I got the intercooler and intake, still need to decide on a turbo pretty sure the rb20 can only handle 400-450 maybe 500hp and boost around 25, so any reccomendations for a turbo? Also does anyone have a link for the NGK ignition coils spark plugs wireset or whatever for the rb20det can't seem to find. If not I'll just pay this guy at a shop to order from japan for me. Got the intake/exhaust and intercooler from there.

If I remember right, nissan made these coils pretty generic in the 90s, so pretty much ca18, vh45 and maybe a couple others are all the same, minus the boots though.

I've given up I'm just going to rebuild the engine with some friends, clean it up and sell it. I'm doing a complete rb25 swap with new piping/intercooler/turbo,etc. Then hopefully with some better suspension and those big 19/20 inch staggered tsw's gone it will ride like how it's supposed to. The amount of money I need to spend to clean up the rb20 get it to where I want it to be is close to the amount of a swap so I'ma just spend 1-2k more for a full swap on a new engine.

Looking for some lowering springs before I redo the whole suspension. Any ideas trying to spend under 200.

So since I've been receiving messages inquiring why I did things certain way, or how to do this and that. I just want to be clear I didn't do any of the work I just know part of what I wanted done and had Charles Plumb of Plumb Performance in east county San Diego did all the work for the swap,the re wiring of the dash everything you see.
