    Hello everyone!

    Hello chaps and chapesses. I come to you from the sunny driver's paradise that is Milton Keynes. Somewhere in Kanagawa, this black beauty is being taken to the docks to be shipped to Blighty for me.

    It's a 97 model (96 technically, but registered in Jan 97), and a Type S, so no turbo unfortunately, but it is manual so I shall install a turbo onto it at some point. Currently doing my research and debating whether or not to turbo the engine it has or swap in a DET. I'd prefer to keep the JDM engine, but apparently NA blocks aren't the best to turbocharge(?). I only want about 300 bhp at the wheels. There is a chap in my neighbourhood who has an S13 Silvia, so I might knock on his door and pick his brains. Anyway, hi

    Welcome, nice looking car.

    If I were you I’d look for a jdm non vvt sr rather than just bolting a turbo on your de.

    That does seem a good route, although JDM straight cam S13 engines seem to be like hen's teeth in this country!
