easy SR20 power upgrades
Hey everyone, ive posted a few times before in here regarding SR swaps, but i finally got my engine months later, ive read up on the easy upgrades and things that should be done once the swap is completed, such as a FMIC, downpipe, exhaust, radiator, all the pretty much neccisary to start. but what im asking for help is for what are some of the first performance parts i should get after that. the easiest way to get some more power out of my SR. thanks in advanced

TURBO BACK,
intake,
fmic w/ pipes,
pump/ injectors/ safc
mbc @ 14-16psi
you should be good for 250 and throw in a bov for good measure not sure if the stock one will hold up.

Re: easy SR20 power upgrades
bone stock everything. My SR is hanging from a chain in the garage. with the old KA sitting nicely next to it.
ill be getting all the essentials ( i.e exhaust, fmic, radiator, fans etc ) that are usually standard in a new swap.
im looking at having the engine in within 2 weeks, and enough dough for the goods in a bout a month.

Re: easy SR20 power upgrades
I put down 252whp with a Redtop SR20DET with just FMIC, 3" turbo back, Greddy intake manifold, tubular turbo manifold (header) and a EBC set at 15psi.
I also had a very over sized radiator, a very efficent fan, along with powersteering removed and the stock fan removed.
All on stock T25 turbo and injectors... and no tune. Months later I dyno'd again and put down 247whp. Biggest factor in loss of power was weather, first time I dyno'd it was 60 some degrees (fall), second time it was spring time and was 85 degrees out.
So, with minimal put into it, it can be done. But that's pretty much the limit of stock injectors/turbo setup for a SR20 from what I've seen.
