How much power can i make with the sr20det while still being RELIABLE. This is going to be a daily driver. Im curous 'cuz im not going to have enough money for rb25det (until later, if i need more power) and 400-450hp is good fer me.

Lolz

I'm not sure I can settle for 400-450. I mean really thats only like 225hp per litter.

Have you ever ridden in a 450hp car?

Here's an idea. Why don't you NOT work on getting your sr20 to even over 300 at all and instead SAVE up for the rb?

you don't have the money for an rb, so you're not gonna have the money for getting an sr20 even to 300hp let alone 400hp and being reliable. i dun know about everyone else here, but a 400hp 240sx is not a car I'd use for daily driving.

if you want 450 horse power really cheap in your 240, rather than swap an SR I would just pick up 3 KA's and bolt them on top of each other. You can get KA's really cheap for like $250.
Hey btw this might require some fabrication. I'm sure some one already has done it though.

Any one have pics of the (3)KA24 swap?

wtf? everyone in here fucking just jokes around...ne wayz...saikou240 i was only planning on getting the sr20 if i could make that much power. So now that i know it wont, ill go fer rb....

why wouldnt you want a 400 hp 240?

dont know about 3 but one in the front and one in the back sounds real nice :)

Have you ever ridden in a 450hp car?

have you ever ridden in a 700 hp car?

ne wayz, rb25 it is...400 it will be... :smokin:

who said cheap, ass...

omg these newbies lack expierence.. a 400hp cars is mutha freaking fast.. its really not to streetable.. shit my boy has a 250hp turbo 240sx and he drives off boost most of the time, the car is freakin mean on 8psi making 250hp@wheels man i got a ride in a sti and that pined me in my seat.. you people need to realize how much hp realy is..

if you need to ask about having a 400hp car you really shouldn't get one..

no back on topic.. sr20det bottom end can take 400hp but you need damm good fmu and great supporting mods, to do it daily driven its a different story.. i say 250-300whp is good for daily driven car to be safe n realiable.. also for 400 hp u need to trash that shitty t-25 or t-28 and get something bigger and alsot re-work the head..

I currently own a 374hp talon awd, t04e<<<<<smokeurass. THere are plenty of 900hp cars. Ive ridden in a 700 hp supra. If you actually READ my post, I didnt ask about having a 400hp car...i asked if the sr20 could handle it, so i dont have to go fer rb25. ANYWAY... :smokin:

being a newbie and coming in here calling other people asses is not a good idea. do it again, and you're taking a vacation.

400hp is alot. if you "can't afford" an RB25DET, then you won't be able to afford a 400hp SR (like someone else said). an SR plus all the parts to make it hit 400hp will cost way more then an RB25DET by itself.

learn something before you post like you know everything.

to4-e what trim on the talon and supporting mods if you dont mind me asking im just a big DSM fan i want a DSM badly, btw wats you e/t?

lol dude why dont you just build up the bottom end of your ka and turbo charge it with that stage 2 kit from I think fmax is it? That be the best way to get that much power. And man idk about you but I got done test driving a 600hp RX-7 and the FD's and 240's basically have the same weight same suspension etc. and uh dude you dont need tha tmuch damn power as a daily driver lol. thats like a damn 12 second car itleast buy a ka and build it up man there cheap easy to upgrade and hell if the engine blows Buy another lol. RB's and SR20's are cool but I mean come on you dont have the money for a RB and you want that much power? your gonna blow the motor any how, and to ask man you need to learn a few things. Any 2.5 liter and down needs some reinforcement to hold 300+ hp in my opinion. I just wouldnt feel comfortable having 400hp on a stock bottom end SR. And to get that high just need a turbo upgrade from the SR and fuel blah blah mainly just bigger and stronger shit. and idk shit about RB's so *shrugs*

you think a 700 hp turbo is fast, try a 600 hp N/A V8. KA-T for a budget-minded person who wants something for a daily driver/weekend racer. SR in my mind is a waste of time for less displacement. Read the FAQ and a custom turbo kit can be made for $1000. Spend a little more for a nice kit with a T3/T4 and upgraded fuel system. A rebuild for the KA is around 1500-2000 if you do it yourself. That is 3500 which is about how much a SR20 swap costs and the KA is up to about 250hp depending on what size turbo you get and how much boost you are running.

Christ, you guys act like 400 horses is something mindblowing. I daily drive a NA LT-1 that makes about 500 to the wheels. It's not difficult, unrelilable, or a hassle. It's fuckin awesome.

Maybe if you didn't give him the smart ass comments, he wouldn't have called that ONE guy an ass. How did he come off as a know-it-all when all he did was ask a question?

A T28 can reach 400HP without much of a problem. A T25R can hit 350. A GT28 can easily hit 400HP and be quite driveable.

The SR can be reliable up to 300-350 HP from what I hear, but it depends on how hard you'll be driving it. Anything over 400HP and you want to start looking at forged internals etc etc etc.

Work up an SR, or stick with the KA and save for the RB. Don't spend money on both.

^^^^^^^ tru

It has nothing to do with me calling them an ass, its what they're acting like. Coming in here being a 'newb' (pfff) doesnt mean i can be treated like a dumbshit and not say anything, QUIT YOUR BITCHEN!

Affording the rb25 or sr20 has nothing to do with me having the money for 400hp. I SAID THATS WHAT I WANNA PUSH IT TO. I can buy the sr20, and have a car to drive right away, if i save for the rb25, I DONT HAVE A CAR TO DRIVE (I dont have an engine). Get it? :grinno:

Some respect fer the 'neeeewb'. lol, wtf.....

Nissan finatic....thanx fer the tip, i just dont wanna rebuild the ka or w/e, that wont be reliable! rb25 is bullet proof, im going that way.

Christ, you guys act like 400 horses is something mindblowing. I daily drive a NA LT-1 that makes about 500 to the wheels. It's not difficult, unrelilable, or a hassle. It's fuckin awesome.

lol, i know....

i have minimum supporting mods (at least i think) on the talon. IAM NOT TUNED. I hate the s-afc, i was about to order dsm link but i got scared when i see 95 gsxracer (kevin) talking about his racing tranny's busting, wtf? And im noticing these cars are just unreliable...w/e. (turbo2nr i think i seen you in the eclipse forum...)

from what i seen the stock t-28 and t-25 found on the sr20det motors have har time after 325hp@wheels..

there is a simple answer to your question

since u said reliable that narrows down your choices considerably.

You have 202hp, 220hp, and 250hp

it depends on which SR you want to swap, a s13, s14, or s15.


when you mod ANYTHING it reduces your reliability, there is a reason why those cars have a certain output from the factory, because it is reliable enough that they wont loose money. Thats the main reason why they don't come from the factory at 3 or 400 HP.

A T28 can reach 400HP without much of a problem. A T25R can hit 350. A GT28 can easily hit 400HP and be quite driveable.

The SR can be reliable up to 300-350 HP from what I hear, but it depends on how hard you'll be driving it. Anything over 400HP and you want to start looking at forged internals etc etc etc.

are you on crack dude? I never seen T25's or t-25's make more then 300RWHP....

I have seen ONE of those modified T-25's make 330rwhp and that is MAXED out with all the possible modifications. At that point your really better off getting a bigger turbo so its more effecient and using less of its potential.

im going rb, thanx

good luck. but make sure you research this completely before diving headlong into it. better have a lotta cash firsta all....

come on guys we all know you'll never see #s like that off a nissan motor it doesn't have VTEC y0! what were you thinking its a f20c or somthing?

I'm quite drug free, thank you.

According to our spec sheets at work, that's the sort of power they're making. I'm guessing my numbers were at the crank, while you noted horsepower at the wheels. We are the Garrett distributor for this region of the country, so I suspect the sheets would be right.

But hey, I don't drive a 240, what would i know? :rolleyes:

we dont mean to doubt your knowledge im sure you know alot more about turbos and different specs then most people in here its just that the 240sx peeps get denfisive when we talk wbout their cars.. but thanks for the corrections and your p.o.v. hey this is how we all learn no 1 person is ever right

hey this is how we all learn no 1 person is ever right


Then you forgot about ME! :lol2:

Hummmmm, a 10-year-old turbo making 300 hp???

Sure, if it is new!!!!!!!!
I blew my T25, 2 weeks ago!!! that’s why I’ve been too busy to get on this site lately.

For high hp number make sure the parts are new!!! Not 10 years old!!!

What high reliable hp out of the SR? My suggestion is to upgrade the gasket, do the piping, including the front mount intercooler, and then raise the boost to 14!

Hope I helped! Good luck!

Yeah, you're right. Should have mentioned the specs are for new turbos. My bad.

wtf? everyone in here fucking just jokes around...ne wayz...saikou240 i was only planning on getting the sr20 if i could make that much power. So now that i know it wont, ill go fer rb....

why wouldnt you want a 400 hp 240?

Is there a reason why you need a 400 horse 240? You mean for street driving?

im going rb, thanx

Well have fun with the swap hehe.
