Re: Different SR20DET engine's

Personally, the Bluebird SR20DET is much more suited to your swap, being designed for a FWD tranny, it is much simpler to wire up and when done properly, can look almost factory in appearance. The GTi-R is good making about 185Kw at the flywheel but with 10psi instead of the bluebird 147kw on 8psi boost. Ultimately, the choice is your but they both have great potential.
The GTi-R engine also is much better for continued hi-rpm use but is more expensive to rebuild.
Go foe the Bluebird motor and fit the HKS lash killer kit(which upgrades the SR20DET to GTi-R spec without the quad-throttle bodies)
Good lcuk
