Tbh its too much arseache for not a lot of gain. You would run next to no boost and gain maybe 10bhp tops.

Unless your prepared to sink the money in your not going to get results.

What Gaz said.

Better off dropping a V6 in and whacking a turbo on that... or a super charger if it could be done :)

Its not too much of an arse ache if you can get ahold of the turbp kit that was readily available in the early 90's which uses the existing C20NE/20NE as is

As for supercharge the V6, that can be done too, same with shoving a turbo on it :D

If v6 is considered it cheaper to supercharge without over heating probs if turbo'ing then relocate turbo to passenger side and add vents and BIG intercooler... and either low pressure or rework internals :D
