NA rwd sr20de

[paNX2K&SE-R]

Anyone know of any sources for an na rwd sr20de and maybe approximate prices? Thanks

[SilviaDriver]

anybody that can source a DET can most likely source a DE

im gonna guess this is gonna be stuffed in the NX?

[RanciD]

Why would he do that? It's already got an SR20DE, I can't see how it'd be worth going through the hassle to get a RWD one imported just so you can give yourself a headache putting it in there when you COULD just get another front wheel drive SR20DE from another NX/200SX/SE-R without even having to look out of the country. My guess is he wants it in the 240 so both his cars have them. :)

**** Im sorry, my heads in my ass this morning. RWD NX... he he he...

anywho. What would he/you look to but a SR20DE into the 240? As far as I am concerned the KA is a great motor. Seems like more of a hassle to swap the SR20DE in, where as you could put that money into the KA. But before I harrass (sp?) let hear why.

Why?:confused:

hmm, i'm interested. anyone have any info on high revving NA SR20s? it's be neat to see an NA SR20 instead of the turbo.

[paNX2K&SE-R]

I would turbo the de down the road. I'm just looking around and coming up with a backup plan if I can't learn to live with the KA motor. I'm from the SR20 crowd so I'm used to high winding power that can rev to 8k. I was dissapointed with my 92 S13 but the miles were pretty high. I need to get my 89 running and see how I like the engine with a less tired example albeit a sohc this time.

[ca18guy]

Save up the money and do it right the first time :ugh:
A n/a sr20 would be step down in power and cost a bundle in buying/swapping all for a power downgrade.
Just be patient or buy a cheaper motor.... ca18? rb20? also options with turbos.

Swapping an NA SR20DE into a 240sx would be like swapping a base model civic engine into an integra GSR.

The cost of shipping and doing the swap is still pretty high, for an engine making LESS power, with LESS potential? You are better off finding a KA24DE and rebuilding that.

Save and get your revs from a DET

not really. if you have the money its a fun project
clip runs about 1000 USD
the real money is in the parts.
easily available w/ contacts to japan
tomei ITB. YES PLEASE!
you can juice near 250RWHP w/ sr20de...

you CANT do that w/ KA24(d)E

it would be a fun NA for sure!

[RedlineRacer]

Are the internals not different in the SR20DE and the SR20DET?

[nrcooled]

There are some kickass mods that can be done to the SR20DE as douson said. I can't remember the name now of the race car that runs the n/a SR but it makes a solid 220hp to the wheels. If you shave weight off your 240 and some good suspension mods you can have serious fun at the track.

Don't forget that it will be easier to extract HP out of the SR20DET so the money you save getting the n/a version will be spent on crank, rods, pistons, cams, valves, header, ITBs or short runner intake manifold, etc. Count on a soid 3k to build that bad boy up to 250hp plus you will be mainly paying for shipping from JDM land

I think they are, cuz I was told all the ignition parts are interchangable (Crank angle sensor, ignitor,harness)

[Kid Zelda]

Internals are different

DET - oil squirter piston coolers
DET - bigger oil pump

DE has high comp' pistons

[nrcooled]

the SR20DE comes with a distributor system. Are you saying that the coilpacks from the DET can be integrated onto the DE. Also what would you use to manage it since the DE's ecu would have no idea how to spark the packs

marco vargas @ sr20store said that you can use the parts from a turbo'd sr20 to a N/a...you would either re-tune your KA ecu or use the sr20det ecu

[nrcooled]

I was thinking of the Autec s15 with SR20DE that made ~220hp

[paNX2K&SE-R]

If I put the NA SR20 in my car I would turbo it down the road. I had a det in my 91 SE-R. If the engine wasn't toast I would have just bolted the turbo stuff. The only det engine with a bigger oil pump is the GTiR. The NA engine with the same turbo setup will spool faster and make more power then the det b/c of the higher compression. You can get 280whp no problem if you use the GTiR T28. The NA SR20 can handle as much power as the det. You do not need to change the rods pistons or crank. They are just as strong as the ones in the det. We (the fwd people) have been working with SR20s for 12 years now. It seems like there is a lot of misinformation with the 240 crowd right now but its a learning process. :)

[OptionZero]

hrm. So you learn something new everyday.

[nrcooled]

paNX- I thought you were going with a big n/a setup. hence, the rod, crank, etc.

[zenkiDori]

hmmm, a high revving NA SR20 with ITBs, that sounds nice.
