Isn't the 98 slightly more powful?
It runs the same as 96 but it has bigger wheels and bigger brakes.
Surely a 98 engine on a 96 car would be faster no ?
Also a 96 with a 4.7 FD would be a nice upgrade also.

Quoted book power is equal @197BHP, but with slightly more torque from the 98spec from the 4-1 SS manifold...
The main difference between the 96 & 98 drivetrain-wise is the Final Drive. The 96 has a 4.4 F.D & the 98 has a 4.7
This allows the 98 to get the jump off the line, but it has a taller 4th & 5th gear from memory...
All the JDM cars tend to go a bit better than the UK ITR's. The UK cars have a nasty cast manifold & restrictive CAT in comparison as standard. They are also mapped very rich too(
