how's it goin fellas and fellates-

i've been on here for a bit now and every now and then i see someone with a DET engine popped into their car.

now- i know with all the tweaking there is possible i'm sure the DET will make a billion hp at the wheels- but- how much power does it really put out for the average joe shmoe who just drops the motor into his lil G??

stick shift or automatic - it doesn't really matter - we'll just compare before/after outputs with either tranny.

anyone have any data on this??

thanks everyone.

A difference?

Of course it makes a difference, anytime you add a hundred hp to your car or so. A HUGE difference!

Perhaps I don't understand what you're asking?

I'm not sure about a 100 extra hp. Must be some bad sushi you had today. :p A regular BB DET just dropped in will get you at least 50-70 extra hp. What you'll notice more is the torque.

Lets see here....

Stock G20 with an SR20DE = 140hp at the flywheel
Stock BB SR20DET = ~210hp at the flywheel (with no mods)

Well, it's only 70 horsepower!.

A few of the guys here have put in a DET, added an exhaust and intake and make 230+hp.

So, that's about a 90 horsepower difference.

Somehow i think you would notice a *slight* difference in power. :rolleyes: :D

70hp will make a huge difference on any car. One bad thing about getting a DET would be a lot more speeding tickets.

hrmmmmmmmmmm- 1k for engine // $200 labor to drop it in???

1200 bucks?? hrmmm- if i had to do it over again- i might have purchased a DET instead of a stereo system...

$200 for labor??? to install headers for an entire DET engine?
You'll need a good $4-$5000 for EVERYTHING (assuming you want to use good product with top-notch labor)

ok- back to the drawing board...

i don't know how long it would take to drop a DET engine into a g... so- yeah- excuse my miscalculation on labor...

That first link is a real monster! That car hauls some serious ass. The guy just bought it, I have no idea why he's selling it now.

The other two links are for Silvia DET's and won't work in the G.
