sr20VE

[P10DET]

Holy crap!

If you look in the classifieds, you will see that Andreas is selling the SR20VEs for $2,800 shipped!.

That is a great price. If I didn't have my 944 race car to build now, I would probably get one for my SE-R.

Wow.

This is a better deal than a DET IMHO if you are looking for 250 bhp or less. Add a header, CAI, pulleys, and flywheel and you should be able to put down power that would compare well with a near stock DET.

Yep, it'd be a nice project for someone not wanting to spend a ton of money on a turbo setup. Who's gonna be the first?

Question. Would the VE be a more direct swap and easier to do than the DET?

I could use 190hp but I dont have piles of money lying around at this time. Besides it wouldnt be worth it to dump my brand new SR20DE unless it had a lot of miles or there are some kind of problem with it. But if I had a P10 or a P11 with some engine problems and a pile of moeny, I would definetly go for it!

IMPO Nissan should have put the SR20VE into the 2k+ G20's stock. The car would have been so much better and much more popular. Once again wtf have the Nissan people been smoking.

I think I'm up for one.........

George,

Thanks for the brief but comprehensive explanation of the sources of the SR20DET engines. I guess this is a good time to start the investment for the SR20DET engine 3 years down the road! I would definitely want the Pulstart GTi-R SR20DET engine!!

Seriously, if the G20 has either the SR20VE or the low end of the SR20DET engine, this car would be the king of the road!!!

I think since I just got my X mas bonus and I know Andreas I might go for it ..... since he is local I won't have to pay for shipping .... but I have to get permission from my lady .....

She reads SCC car, drives a G20, her brother is a mechanic and knows Andreas too .... I won't be able to get away with it easily like our friend who got BRAND NEW RIMS instead of New Tires for Xmas ...

It's a great engine with a lot of potential. Just remember though, unless you are building an all-out killer engine, you can probably do better starting with a BB DET or build a turbo DE. You pay a large premium for that engine and once you start dinking around with different turbos and such, you really haven't gained much. And, for the same money as a GTi-R DET I can build a BB DET that will kick its ass.

So, I'm not trying to talk you out of it, but just think through what your goals are.

You just talked me out of it.... sounds like too much maintenance for a fumbler like me and I will have to keep bother Andreas all the time ...

George, you gotta show me how to properly add quote to my posting...I hate this text editor!!!!

Anyway, for a comparative note, how much horsepower can a turbo DE produce compare to a BB DET? I am not looking for a killer machine but I want to get about 300 hp if I am going turbo. Can a DE turbo achieve this number? If not, I guess a BB DET route is better?

I am saving up for the Turbo as we speak.......

Well I'm not George but there should be a Quote link at the bottom of each post that you can click on and it will set you up with the post in quote brackets for you.

Either will work. If your SR20DE is in good shape it would probably be cheaper to turbo your DE.
