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 :twisted:

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 :P ..
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..
