cool
I kno rite.
Anyways, I say go for it on the 280z. Restore it, and swap in a RB25DET or RB26DETT.
(RB25DET would be the most cost-efficient choice.)
nah, definitely the twin turbo. more power all across the board. one big turbo one small turbo.
You can put twin turbos on the rb25, it's just that it's like a quarter the cost of a rb26.
Also, single turbos spool nearly as fast as twin turbo's and have a higher top end. Twin turbos are widely considered impractical. That's why when you compare the number of single turbo kits on the market to twin turbo kits, its like 10:1

Supercharger -> turbocharger
Can you change the boost psi of a supercharger on the fly? No.
Do turbochargers cause a parasitic loss of horsepower? No.
All in all I would say turbochargers are much more versatile. If anything, twin-charging is the way to go.

This is what most people think of the Escalade here. The review is done by the UK equivilent of "Car and Driver". [url]http://www.whatcar.com/car-reviews/cadillac/escalade-4x4/summary/25708-3[/url] As far as the reviews on this site go, Cadillac have never made a decent car.

When I first saw it I thought it was an early 2000's or a late 1990's Accord. What the hell.
The mustang always has been a favorite of mine, but the Tjaarda mustang is absolutely wicked :v:.

Yes you can, with adjustable BOVs or Waste gates in the supercharger system. and Supercharger systems are significantly cheaper than turbos, making them by far the cheapest increase in power for your money you can do to an engine.

The REAL Elanor that he was driving in "gone in 60 seconds" is still [B]WAY[/B] more awesome then the new version.
Personally I prefer the newer version even though I still like regular older Mustangs.
BOXES YES! GIVE ME MOAR!
