All I can hope is that GM will use turbo on a performance version of the Sky. I am coming from 240SXs where the stock motor is a KA24DE 2.4L DOHC and makes 155HP.The obvious upgrade from there is to swap the engine for a direct fit Japanese only SR20DET 2.0L Turbo.
Then you only get bumped up in power to 205HP (depending on the model year of the motor). Doesnt seem like much of an increase for the effort, but turbo motors respond so much better to modification. Now you will truly see 25HP from a free flow Turbo Back exhaust, and big numbers from boost increases. They are pretty stout too, able to handle 500hp on a stock block, just as long as you dont lean out the A/F ratio and detonate.
With all intake, exhaust, and intercooling bolt ons, with a slightly larger Nissan T28 Turbo and larger injectors, you can see a modest 300HP, to the wheels out of a 2.0L without opening up the block and going crazy expensive. Now as long as GM uses turbo instead of a wimpy SC
, and they build the block stout enough to handle relative amounts of boost, we should be seeing the same types of numbers out of the sol and sky.
Almost getting too anxious for the FI versions of the Kappa to come out.

Hopefully my 240 won't be jealous with another lady around :brentil:
