God damn, was reading an article on overboost about Import Revolution in Houston, and saw this SR-powered sil-80...the article didn't say much, but it did say it was a "fully built SR20DET with Jun internals" and a "big HKS turbo"...just wondering if anyone knew specifics, i.e. parts used, size of turbo, rwhp and quarter mile.  

Thats a big fuckin turbo...

Don't know what a sil-80 is!? <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/crazy.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':crazy:'> &nbsp;

... kidding.... it's very simple actually, and when you realize what it is, you'll be slapping your foreheads (too).

Sil- Silvia
80- 180sx.

it's a silvia front end attached to a 180sx rear, that is to say, a traditional flat-nose headlight (3-projector and fogs) and bumper, connected to the fastback rear.

the 240sx we have here came in two forms, coupe and fastback, whereas in Japan they were different models w/ different front ends. The fastback we have here was the 180sx there, while the coupe we have would be a one-via (one from 180 and via from silvia) in Japan because it's got a 180sx nose on a silvia (coupe) rear.

That was sort of a bad explaination, but it's quite simple, really!

hmmm since I put that much up, I might as well explain that Nissan didn't originally have a sil-80 model designation, rather it came about through drifters crashing their 180sxs and putting the silvia front ends on simply because they were cheaper...

This 'fad' caught on, and eventually got popular enough for Nissan to release a sil-80 model, which had various little tweaks for a little more HP (different cams, I think) and to make it even more tail happy than the 180sx. These were however manufactured in a very small number, and nowadays are near impossible to find.

Sil-80s are much, MUCH prettier than the One-Vias that we have here in the states, which are, if you don't mind me saying, quite ugly.

FWIW the few 180s with S15 fronts are called, more appropriately, strawberry faces. That's because "15" and "Strawberry" in japanese sound alike.
