Hotshot Turbo?

yeah but the thing is you can't get the maximum gains without the ecu.

Once again, it should be possible to use a 97 ECU with a slight rewiring. The SE-R guys do this without problems and JWT does this with their newer project cars.

To make a long point short, the trannies mounted onour cars cant handle too much. Just my two cents, I really dont know too much about this subject matter.

First of all, Jason is quite correct about the power level. The SR20 gearbox is the weak link in the drivetrain and modest power levels shouldn't be much of a problem however.

Second, Chris Allen is rather, uhhhhh, mechanically insensitive.

now are you gonna GUARANTEE that for me in writing and refund my money back if it doesn't work and messes up my brand new 2002 g20t? also you gonna rewire it for me?

[DCastillo]

definately... hey Jason, do you think there will ever be an option to fix this tranie thing? My names Derek by the way...

im really beginning to favor the altima 3.5se with it's stock time of 0-60 in 5.9 secs....i love the look of the g20t but with its lackluster performance i just don't know....especially if there are no parts out there for the 2002...seriously stumped on what to get.

[Nismoboy1]

i'm sorry to say this to you g20 owners out there but i'd take that 2002 altima v6, that sucker is faaast :alien2:

[Nismoboy1]

plus it looks good too

[G-Forces]

Yeah the new 3.5 Altima is sweet. A little to heavy feeling for my taste. I'd stick with the G20 and make it faster, but that's my personality.

Oh Jesus, just go buy a Honduh.

wow that much confidence in your car huh? here i am trying to learn about the g20t. probably going to buy one. you talk like it's just that easy to go get an ecu, rewire it or have someone rewire it for me. you know if it was that damn easy then why don't they release a new ecu?

this is the kinda response i get from g20 enthusiasts? i guess i can't come here to get answers etc.....that's weak.

No dude, you're the one who is weak. I'm just tired of reading your whining. You ask questions. You get answers. When you don't get the answer you wanted, you just bitch and whine.

As for rewiring, it is that easy. There is a thread on the SE-R Mailing List as we speak about this very subject. In fact, JWT sends instructions for rewiring the connector. I don't know for certain that the same holds true for the G20, but I suspect it is. All it will take is someone who wants an ECU to call JWT, be nice about it, and ask if a P11 G20 can use an early ECU like the B14/B15 folks do.

As for confidence in my car, I have plenty. I've installed a SR20DET in it and it runs like a champ, thank you very much. It runs even better since I had it tuned at Throttle Position Motorsports in Dallas over the weekend. Now I just need to schedule some dyno time.

I hate to be this hard on you, but you've spent more time telling us what you think that actually thinking about our answers. I give up. The problem is not the car.

from experience, it's pretty difficult to rewire a 93 SR20DE ecu and harness...the dash harness is a bit confusing to figure out (but if you have an FSM, it should be ok) but the plugs ont he engine is pretty straight forward.

it's not difficult to find parts for you car (if you get it from me that is hehe), in the US, u can get springs, shocks, coilovers, brake rotors, brake pads, lightbulbs, brembo brake upgrade, strut bars, swaybars, exhaust, rims, bodykits, headers, intake, pulley...this is a pretty extensive list arleayd and with all these, most people will be happy. if you wanna go even outta the ordinary, there's the SR20DET motor and the parts starts to pile up from there. what is it exactly that's hard to find? let me know...i havnet came across anything (except for a roll cage) that i cant find.
by reading your mind i can already see that u will ask this "well, that's gonna be a lot of money so i'll just buy a 3.5L Altima" well...if you get the Altima (assuming u are into cars) wouldnt u think that parts will be EXTREMELY hard to find for the Altima since it's brand spanking new?

thank you g22det for the feedback.

i realize there's tons of parts out there for the sr20de. there's no denying that. but the only thing that bothers me is the fact no ecu is made for the 99+. the ecu is the key to everything. without it every other upgrade won't reach it's full potential. i use this logic cuz i had a 92ttz and the guys who had 96ttz could not reach 396hp as easily. in fact they couldn't. but yet it was the same engine. just like the case here. custom fabrication is not cheap and im not that much of an electrician.

anyways i know it would also be hard to find parts for the altima...BUT...i don't know many sr20de's capable of hitting 5.9 sec's cheaply. and the g20t and 3.5se are the same price.

and to P10DET just because im asking a lot of questions to further educate myself on the g20 how is that whining and bitching(especially when 2 other people in here also don't think its as easy as you say)? just because you presuppose that I should know everything about the car and how to upgrade it already?

[G22DET]

my car is hitting 5.9..might even be a little faster?
ECU is important..but who cares if you have a 1000hp if you dont hav ethe suspension to back it up? gonna drive in a straight line forever? I bet a nicely tuned suspension on a stock G20 can probably keep up your friend's Z32. i have personal exerpeicne of beating a turbocharged GS300 (est. 380hp) with only an air intake and a set of coilovers. The ECU is only key if you do mods that requires the playing of the fuel system such as a turbo...with regular bolt on parts, the stock ecu will be plenty enough.
if all you are concerned is 0-60 time or 1/4mile time, why not get a mustang GT? it's A LOT faster than the altima.

hey G22DET
can yours beat a standard S15 spec R? it's just out of interest.....
