the REW will make 220-230rwhp stock, open the exhaust and run something like a power FC and 300hp is pretty simple.



you could use the stock SA transmission, but it wont last very long, you're basically tripling the power it has to handle.



so you can use the turbo II trans....



it starts to get complex and expensive right here, and i'm not sure it gives you a car thats more fun

yeah i asked a garage for a quote on the conversion and they told me that the stock turbos wont fit in a first gen so id have to get new turbos fitted... i dont have that kinda money. now im thinking of finding out how much a powertrain conversion to a TII would cost

yeah you have the steering box in the way... you could run it non turbo, but thats a lot of work for 160-170rwhp!
