Re: Dope status
Yea i think thats the name, but it came single turbo from the factory. Its apprently from what little ive read about it a pretty beast motor. There is a guy with a old one here in Fayettville car looks like complete shit all rusted and different colors; but with my own eyes i saw that dude run low 10's all day.
The S20 was a 2.0 liter DOHC 24 valve with cross flow head. It was never turbo charged from the factory. It was used in the Skyline GT-R and a few hundred Z cars. It's pretty rare.
The O.S. Giken LY was a non-factory DOHC 24 valve head produced by O.S. Giken and compatible with the L-Series block but not the S20. This thing is extremely rare and even when they were available cost around $10,000 in the US.
Interestingly the L-Series is a licensed copy of a Mercedes Benz engine from the 1950s and the S20 was a left over from the Prince Motor Company merger.

Yes the OS Giken head is total beast. Basically everything they sell is awesome and you have to pay out the ass for it. I have the pleasure of having two of their products of my car and I need more! (I turned your box green btw

Also if you guys are into the Z Car / L-Series stuff check this out.
A DOHC 24 valve head for the L-Series made out of 3 Nissan 3 KA24DE heads he cut up and welded together. And it actually runs
