Default Skyline Powered Mk2 Escort!

How fucking subtle is this

In Barbados or Jamaica I think...








RB25 engine with a fair few mods by looks of it. I spot nitrous, external wastegate, different managment, etc etc.

And an autobox!

Fair play to them

Funnily enough when my dad had a unit in Canning Town, there was this old black fella with a workshop opposite him, all the old boy done was get a load of scrappers from Ferry Lane and make one good car it could be a cavalier with a vw engine etc you know all sorts of crazy shit.
Thing is he really would get them going and once in a while send them home in a big container.
Fucking amazing it really was

no, turbos dont blow up baloons that well, the power delivery isnt linear with throttle position so its quite hard to do it without overinflating them and popping them

also id need to fit a transbrake or somethnig to put the engine under enough load to make the turbo spin to blow the baloons for the waiting children.

with a supercharger it runs in relation to crank speed and dont rely on exhaust gas, so can blow up loads for them while the car is in neutral just by revving the engine a bit.
