Wasn't the NapsZ engine an 8 plug (i.e. twin plug) engine... and turbo in the
200sx. And not exactly big hp... round 130 or so I think. One of my
"considered" but quickly discarded choices for the swap. If I hadn't picked up
the VG30 turbo, I probably would have gone SR20 with a five speed for $700. You
could aways add a low boost turbo later if you wanted more power (plus a
remapped ECU, injectors, intercooler, etc etc etc... hey, it's only money... ya
right!). Remember, I've got a line on the SR20's and RWD 5 speeds for about
$700 plus shipping from JDM importers...
