anyway after some ordeals with finding the right turbo for it to get as much power i could and still keep it driveable .... I got this ... Its a Garrett GT2540R (not to be confused with the Piss weak 350hp hks version) turbo rated for 450hp, pretty much its the biggest thing i could bolt onto the standard manifold, will let you know how it goes .... Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

yeah goes ok. I'm changing the exhaust housing to the small .64 version so that the car makes boost earlier ... better for drift that way. So far i haven't turned the boost up past 0.5 bar, as i'm waiting till my skyline gets here to finish it off. Have got a silvia front to fit a full bn sports kit.
