That sounds like a challenge mate!!! lol..Yours must have been broken, or the boost modulater valve was only giving you 9psi of boost like they often do! cos i really wouldn't count on it being beaten by a silvia with " a few basic mods" cos my old one was one such car. (seat cupra intercooler, 10psi boost) and it was still no-where near as quick as this. the gear box's are strong enough its the driveshaft output bearings that collapse, but these can be upgraded, they are boost-limited in first gear to help too. also its a proven fact that you can get a genuinely reliable 220-225bhp out of these engines. oh and the car isn't that heavy too. 1120kg. yeah i've seen a number of poeple who have accidently snapped off the little top hose!
