Yeh, not nocking it, you have achieved big things with your n/a bro,

how much more power you would be making with that amount of $$
if it went into a turbo conversion. I'm not saying thats what you should have done, by any means, I respect that you have pushed the rb30e this far
some ppl get more satisfaction without 'cheating' so to speak with forced induction. I know i do, I'm a v8 man, and love my naturally aspirated 8s
a vlt was just a quick alternative to power.

You think we have vlt's for a bov? lmao, how rong you are, thats why most vlt owners on this forum don't run a bov, I dont like my car to have power for other people to say, aww, thats got some balls, I like to have power to satisfy myself, I'm more a go than show man.

yeah wel i used to be the same..but really, my car goes perfect and pretty awesome for an NA so now i'd rather a reliable, show looking car myself..personal preference.
and even tho u say u dont care about people recognising ur car for power, im sure u make the most of it whenever u could

pod filter, number plate on the side, glowing pedals and also a flame thrower exhaust would make that car you described FAR more hektik dave!

if i had the money i'd do what my friend has started with his R31 and make an RB30 monster. RB30 bottom end with RB26 top end. Then slap a twin turbo setup on it. Wouldnt be to bad at all.

do something different go old school get a recoed 4/71 supercharger, get a custom intake made up and have it hangin through the bonnet with a couple of holleys on top that would be different to the usual turbo route
