The REAL Question
I have acquired a 1992 FD3s that has quite a few after market parts on it. mainly, its got a complete and good condition single turbo kit (Garrett T04e i think) obx manifold, greddy front mount, koyo rad.. etc etc..
A friend of mine is pushing me to single my car, but i really enjoy the responsiveness of the stock twins. i mostly autox and gymkhana my car, so response is very important. I usually place in the top 3 drivers (out of 12 or so) and have never been lower than 8th out of 37 drivers. we dont have classes since its not organized by the SCCA or any other major stateside group. Anyway, to the question.. should i single my car? Yeah, the car will be quite powerful (compared to stock), yeah i have all the parts, yeah i could do it all myself.. everything except tuning. OR should i keep it stock, sell the parts and save up for what i really want (gt35r) i dont have a huge car budget so its going to take a while before i am able to fully build my car how i want. any suggestions would be appreciated. btw.. watch for the sale thread soon. some parts are going on my car, i will be willing to sell and ship almost anything to you stateside guys. big stuff being the exception of course. everything will also have to go through USPS... :( |
sell what you don't like, keep stockers for now.

OBX manifold??
I wouldn't waste your money on some knock off turbo or manifold. Stick with stock. if your stockers go bad, I would buy a used set. Go single if you could get a good set.. and don't waste your money on some cheap ebay crap. Also, making more HP means more money on other parts.. people tend to forget that and spend thousands to make the car to have high hp but drive like ass! |
im almost finished with trying to make the 7 reliable. now im looking for good balance in suspension. my last goal would be going single. IMO.

This is something you should figure out yourself, not to be a dick or anything.
I'd be more concerned with the handling/suspension/platform though, knowing that you gymkhana that shit, that is if you haven't. |

the car has a complete swap already on it.. only thing im not 100 percent on is the fuel. its got block offs turbo, etc etc etc.. i know what you mean, and im leaning towards leaving it alone. mostly because my car runs well as is. Quote:
