Power output of G20t

[NA Racer]

What is the hp of a G20t as opposed to G20? Primeras in NZ came out with 151hp standard. We have no turbo versions though.

Factory rated HP is 145 for 2000+ and 140 for 1999 and older. This is for all models. No options on the engine were ever available.

Only 145hp with a turbo. What the hell is up!!!!!!
You guys must have alot of head room for mods!

No! No turbos man! I wish. Where'd you get that idea?

[NA Racer]

I must be very mistaken about the whole 't' thing I'm sure someone said 't' was turbo. Apparently not Thanks for clearing that up!

[b-b00gie]

Nope... "t" is for touring

It means you get sporty headrests, a spoiler, fog lights... etc


We have to add our own turbos or swap an SR20DET into the car

[NA Racer]

Touring, of course. Nothing else but comfy seats and lights. What where they thinking. You would have prefered a turbo- Screw the dark and sore necks! Oh and the spoiler.

If only our cars came with a SR20DET's or SR20VE stock... Oh why did the Nissan people chose to use a engine that is underpowered for a 3,100 pound car... Why...

I say the very same thing man. Why? That is the only thing our car is missing. A turboed engine and a better cupholder.

He might have gotten confused, because someone's sig says something like:

't' for turboed, why not!

I can not recall whos sig used to or still says that, but that might be it.

i think Nissan was thinking of handling before anything else. guess they forgot about working on the engine once they tuned up the suspension. or maybe they expected it to be a rally car of some sort, but oh well, at least we have good handling.

Well I think the 1992 G20 was only like ~2500 lbs (1992 Consumers Guide). It was pretty light. However someone forgot to increase the power as the G started gaining weight. Yes the SR20VE would have been perfect! And they probably would have sold a LOT more cars.

As the G20 aged, Nissan did not have the resources to get a SR20VE engine smog legal for it in the US. When the P11 came out, Nissan was poor!
Only Audi/Volkswagen had been successful in selling turbo 4 cyl sedans in the US recently, so obviously Nissan didn't want to take the risk making a turbo G20. Now that Nissan is owned by Renault, you can see they are developing much more performance-oriented cars and they're reducing the number of different platforms.

The US market almost always believes 4cyls=economy car, so from the beginning the G20 was a tough sell in the US. They also didn't want to fit a V6 in the G20 if they could, because then they wouldn't have needed an I30 or J30.

You can probably hold drinks just as good, if not better than me though.
