im looking into getting an sr20det (black or red) as a college commuter car.


i plan to drive X-country at least ~4x.


is there anything necessary besides an oil change to prep a 30-40k sr20det (stock) for X-country...

?


should i lower the boost down to 5psi for the trip?

timing belts etc etc ???


im worried in going from CA to MA, b/c of the midwests and ~east coast's lack of parts and service to the sr20det (compared to CA)....

Just make sure it is in good running condition as you would any other engine.. SR is not GOD .. needs the same regualr maintanice as a KA, CA, RB. VG, L20, L18, QR,
JU, HO, MO :)

Turning the boost down is pointless and there is no timing belt.

Just do basic car maintenance.

anything 'special' i need to look out for.

what are the first things to go, etc etc.

or am i just fine with a good compression engine, oil changes, timing, and extra coolant
