wuzup peeps,
i'm just want to know some information.
my ride is a 1976 Datsun 120Y GX hooked up with a C20 1.5 engine. tune to drift.. but i drift for pleasure, not competition.
i thought of hookin up a turbo in the future.. what turbo should i get then? will the fuel consumption go high? possibly it will huh?? but if it's hooked up to a C20?

a TD04 from a 1.6 mirage engine would be nice ...

turbo's dont consume that much fuel .. matter of fact its a system desined to save fuel ... unless u mod it gila babi and use it as daily car sure la fuel consumption high ... :biggrin:

engine transplant might sound expensive at first, but in the end, it'll be cheaper n more satisfying.

hahaha of course cannot drift if u didnt weld the rear differential. use skyline engine also cant drift... dont waste ur time on turbo n other nonsense. bring ur car to workshop to weld first. just tell ur mech u want to "welding axle" n ur mech will know what to do.

if u say can drift, that is actually not drifting. after welding rear diff, only can say proper drift.

A rather dismal images of what seems to be the shop floor of a spark plug manufacturing operation in China.

To be clear, there is very little in the way of information to color what we’re seeing in these images, but the overall picture is one of rather scary working conditions. Cramped workbenches, metal shavings in every corner of the room, as well as what looks like up close and personal handling...
