Don't lump me in with them. I'm an enthusiast of mechanic design, be it engines, weaponry, or productive machinery. Not a guy with a wrench that reads the marketing garbage AFE/insert other "enthusiast" brand that can't legally warranty half of their products.

 

I fail to see a correlation between people screeching variations of "forced induction is more efficient!!! Reclaimed energy!!!" and anything I've said.

If you can't be civil. Please leave

 

Edit. That goes for everyone in the thread

Hamster's Peugeot face is also a good R31 face xD

Maybe it is his..

wait, one of his E30's? So he has more? Or one of your friends has an E30 that looks like that? God I hate English

NVM, I got it. The apostrophe is on the E30, not on friend. Wow, my grammar sucks :/ 

Nice car regardless, and I guess that means your friend has a nice car too  :D

I need to find one. And make a dramatic clip where it's moving in slow motion towards a speed bump

I went on a RK marathon last weekend. Watched them all from the beginning.

 

The Ratsun and the muscle truck are still my favorite. I really liked the Vette cart too. However, I've recently grown to like the Ranchero. Second time I watched the Alaska episodes, I grew a large respect for all the stuff that car has gone through. That thing just kept on trekking

Which one are you on now?

 

Last one was posted on the 28th of November, so they're overdue for one.

Posting the engine that was swapped into the 200sx in it's original place in about 20 minutes.

Anybody want to throw in some last minute guesses?

That gave it away lol.

As you said to me once on this thread:

Hero-Charles-Ramsey-Dead-Giveaway-Reacti

 

 

BMW had turbo'd cars too. About the same time as Saab. Not sure who popularized it though.

Yeah. I was afraid it would make it a bit too easy. 

The 99 turbo is usually mentioned as the car that is to blame for everything being "Turbo" nowadays.

 

But here the engine is in it's original spot^^

The main reason for the saab engines being popular for the swaps is that they give similar performance to the SR. But we have many saab specialized tuning shops around here.

And tons of parts

B204R. The viggen pic was just because it had a similar valve cover (And the viggen looks nice)

The old Saab turbos can get quite quick. One surprised me when I was driving a V8 Commodore.

My moms boosted 900 was really quick. Ran 1,5bar max boost and spun the tires in third xD (225 width)
