Project 240SX SR20DE Updates w/Pics

[nissantuner22]

So I'm really lazy when it comes to this project. I'll admit it. Between going back and forth between Gainesville and Melbourne, I haven't had much time to work on my SR20DE project. Anyhow, I havent updated you guys on the progress in awhile. I popped off the old stock water pump today in preperation for the new one on route!

The motor looks lonely now.

Though I doubt many of you find this interesting, I think some of you are fond of the idea of a SR20DE 240sx Turbo!

NEWSFLASH: Its now going turbo.

I'm going to maintain a relatively tame set up for the time being. Heres some pics of some goods I got so far.

Whoa! Snazzyness!

Check out the stock Side mount Intercooler, in great shape may I add!

Stick around for future updates, including new fuel injectors, turbo, downpipe, and ecu tuning!

[TokyoNights]

Should have kept it NA with itb's :/

[420sx]

im glad u ditched that n/a shit. its fucking dumb on Sr. welcome to T club hahaha

[Siizzzoooo]

how well do you guys think the turbo will work with the higher compression?

[MakotoS13]

sure it will.


and it'll prolly kill it too :)

[cheez80]

as long as it's tuned correctly, it'll be ok.

i remember hugh advocating higher compression on a sr20det on freshalloy a few weeks back, but only as long as the tuning is competent.

*shrugs*

[wootwoot]

Drive to Tampa and get it tuned by Enthalpy then only run 7pounds and be stoked.

[*NismoS13*]

Looks like a pretty cool project, definitely a different route you're taking than most. Be sure to keep us updated!

If it's not detonating and the bottom end will hold the power your making the only thing high-compression will do is get you better spool up, and beefier low-mid range. the "you can only boost a low compression motor" myth needs to die.

[nissantuner22]

actually compression has nothing to do with spool up time. thats an internet myth. According to Enthalpy, now a days turbo motors shouldnt be run with less than 9:5 compression. Cool stuff.

and Makato, your just jealous. haha

Its not going to "blow up".

check out SR20deforum.com people have been boosting SR20DE's for years.

[WongFeiHung]

SR20DE+T? BOOOO!!!! :bash::hammer::whip::rl::axe:

[ruthlesstyper]

what kind of smic is that? s14?

[eyustfu]

SR20DE Turboed is the same concept as a KA-T, i dont see what the Booing is for.

[nissantuner22]

I think its an S13 SMIC, but it might be an S14, I thought they were teh same though?

DE's Rule BTW, blow me DET fanatics!

[MakotoS13]

dont worry i still love you

[nissantuner22]

:keke: well I guess thats all that matters than

[WongFeiHung]

SR20DE Turboed is the same concept as a KA-T, i dont see what the Booing is for.

Well, if there was a KA24DET available I would boo the KA+T also...Why turbo a SR20DE (higher compression, no piston oil squirters) when the SR20DET is available, and don't try to tell me economic reasons (unless the SR20DE was free). Sure you can do it with good mechanics and tuning, but why?

NA power is fun (mmmm....response) and there are alot of parts available for the SR20DE in the US AND in Japan. 200hp SR20DE? Yes, please...SR20DE sounds so nice with ITBs...

[s14 blacktop]

lets see hmmmmmmmmmmmm cheaper engine/s, and plentyful. they are available for cheap at junk yards! maybe thats what it is :bash:

[WanganRunner]

Should have kept it NA.

It's a square engine, coulda had that thing revving hiiiiiiigh. TODA makes really awesome internals for building up NA SR20DE's, don't they? I know that's one of the crate racing engines they make available to GT300 teams.

It'll still be cool though, originality is always cool regardless.

RWD SR20DEs cheap at junkyards? You must live in Houston, Japan? :bow:

[Ian]

or anywhere in america where the sentra SE-R was sold lol

[SR240DET]

hey nissantuner22 lemme know if you still want that turbo.... other wise iv got another person interested...

[HyperTek]

Vivad Super Street readers would have questioned you why you would swap a non-turbo SR20 in the first place since thier bible tells them that DET is the god.. hahah

Good luck on the project!

[Phlip]

RWD SR20DEs cheap at junkyards? You must live in Houston, Japan? :bow:
THERE'S A HOUSTON IN JAPAN?!!? I hear there's a Paris in Texas, too

[MakotoS13]

AND china as well!

i told you this state was huge.

[WongFeiHung]

Wait a minute...so what you are saying is...you can put a Sentra SR20DE in a 240sx? :goyou:

[WongFeiHung]

AND china as well!

i told you this state was huge.

Don't forget London and Palestine...

[my240iguanas]

looks like its a CA sidemount, but thatsa cool idea SR20de + t , i think he would get more linear power

[nissantuner22]

I got the turbo a while back from my main man SR240DET. Excellent seller, great communication, great price. Will do business again!

Anyhow back to the "update" I slapped her on.

Apparantly theres debate about what to do when mounting a T28 on an S13 motor. Something about clocking the turbo so the oil drain is less than blah blah degrees from vertical. Since my motor is an S13 DE, It's the same principle of putting the T28 on a red top. I just dont have all those snazzy stock oil line/ water line locations like you DET folk. No biggie! Its just like turbo charging a KA! I'm gonna tap into the pressure sending unit for my oil in, and drill and tap the stock block location for the oil drain. Here check it out, this is a pic of the boss already on the block.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v446/nissantuner22/100_0426.jpg

Thats all for now, tune in next time, when I custom make oil lines!

[s14 blacktop]

Wait a minute...so what you are saying is...you can put a Sentra SR20DE in a 240sx?

no, if you just want to drop it in..

yes, if you change the intake plenum, headers etc.. blah blah...
anything is possible!

[kiss my bumper]

i thought the tranny would not work with the se-r too. that is if you keep it RWD

a tunner do u still have the headers(stock lower)? mine got pinched at the junk yard. would you sell it to me?

[Rusker]

Interesting! Nice to see someone doing something like this. :D

[nissantuner22]

sure, hows about 30 bucks + shipping?

[s14 blacktop]

i thought the tranny would not work with the se-r too. that is if you keep it RWD
well I thought most people here are knowlegable people, guess not!

no the tranny wont work! :tweak:

[rthamilton]

how much horsepower/psi can the stock sidemount handle?

[nissantuner22]

enough for a stock set up. Here in florida i wouldnt take it past 10 psi with 93 octane.

[DriftSpecial180]

Bummer, i really wanted to see a NA SR20 :(

[chris4130]

To the original poster- that seems like such a waste of time, but whatever floats your boat

To this moron:

well I thought most people here are knowlegable people, guess not!

no the tranny wont work! :tweak:

Tell you what... you try putting that motor in a 240 and then you tell us why it WON'T work... something about the distributor and the firewall... any moron could look at the motor and see that it is A) stupid to think about trying it B) retarded since you get less power than the stock KA C) That it won't fit with out modding the firewall.

[s14 blacktop]

well I guess you didnt read my other post huh Moron!!!

yes, if you change the intake plenum, headers etc.. blah blah...

[chris4130]

well I guess you didnt read my other post huh Moron!!!

Yea, I did... you're still an idiot.
