Scroll down to the Comparison table.
All those engines are 200+ HP. I guess thats with the turbo eh? Maybe I should look into getting one for my SOHC

ya, I know
but we are playing the hand we a dealt I guess
If I wanted a sr20det, I would have imported a silvia instead of my fairlady
vg30DETT FTW

Yeah I know where your coming from , but I bet pulling the motor to touch your turbo's gets annoying too on the fairlady

..
If I had the money and time and patience to import it would be a EVO V for sure ..
But you have to admit the Sr20det is a solid platform to go off of . Definitely a good but somewhat overdone swap.

Oh yeah lol the sr20dett is a good engine
Lol, I think that the people that say you have to pull the engine to work on the turbos are bitches
it is even easier to do it on the imported version like mine...Don't get me wrong, it is a pain, but not so much that I would pull the engine lol....besides, usually only one has problems, and then you only have to change the one
I simplified my engine bay though when I redid the engine last time(vg30dett reliability is the suxors

Yeah that hose is really kinked. Perhaps he is getting one made?
Nice idea and effort though.

Overdone just means more help resources..
