g20->g20t differences?

[Minitrucker88]

what are the differences between the g20 and the g20t, and what years did they make it? im looking at around 96 or so. seems to me that the only differences are visual styling like the spoiler and body kit. any bhp diff or anything? thanks.

On the P10 (original G20), the "t" version arrived in 94. Beyond the visuals......

The "t" version got the suspension tuning of the 91-93 G20. The non-"t" version got softer suspension. The "t" version got much better seats. They are much more sporting in nature. They have slightly stiffer foam and more agressive bolstering. I couldn't tell you a thing about stereo since that doesn't interst me.

The 91-93.5 G20 use the high port SR20DE. All versions of the 94-present G20 use the low port version.

the biggest difference between the Touring car is that it comes with a viscous limited slip differential - this you want, as it allows you to use all availible hp while cornering or accelerating. also, the t came with lower profile tires (at least on the 99+s) which obviously makes a stiffer ride, but improves handling.

Oh DUH! How could I forget?! Yes, the VLSD is a big deal.

On the P10 the "t" also came with 60 profile tires IIRC. The 91-93.5 also came with 60 profile, but the base P10 94-on came with 65 profile tires.

aren't the seats in the p10 g20t leather clad versions of the classic SE-R seats? i'm thinking i might want to switch the drivers side seat to cloth.

They are similar, but I don't think they are the same. I'll try to check the fiche sometime over the weekend.
