sr20det in a p5

[Roywhitep5]

is this possible?

 

[boostisgood]

Anything is possible, with the right money.

 

[Pska]

people will probably say its rice cuz they're mrons.

 

[Vulcanon]

sr20det?

 

[EXA4DRIVER]

Yup I agree. Anything is possible if you have the $$$. Just like one of the Top Secret Supra's running a highly tuned 3SGTE (MR-2 Turbo engine), or Sp Engineering's FD3S with a 2JZGTE (Supra Twin Turbo engine).

i was thinking about how the sr20det is a 2.0l so it wouldnt have too much trouble fitting in the engine compartment. my friend has an old se-r with a n/a sr20 and it looks about the same size as our fs-de

 

[AFaceInTheCrowd]

hey, you can do it. i've seen a civic with a turbo dsm engine in it.

 

[Razhael]

are you guys keeping in mind the silvia engine is for a rear wheel drive car?

The SR20 came in FWD Sentra's. I think it is the bluebird version.

Well, perhaps he's meaning an SR20DE with an aftermarket turbo.

You are correct though, in that the SR20DET in its' full glory is a RWD application, but that's mostly because of the turbo and manifold configuration. Eh, details, details....

Just a suggestion if you want an SR20DE: get a Sentra 2.0L (B15 chassis preferable). I was going to get a used G20 before I got the P5. Happy either way.......

Bluebird SR20DET was in an AWD config

 

[NC_MP3]

Oh yeah, it would be a waste of money. The SR20 is a strong engine, but you can build the FS with less money than it would cost to swap in an SR20.

But was it mounted transversely?

The 200sx had the sr20 as well and it a front driver.

The 200sx had the sr20 as well and it a front driver.

200sx in North America is what the Silvia (200sx) was/is in Japan (similar chassis to the S13/S14 240SX avail. in North America). The 240SX (KA24DE) never existed in Japan, only in N/A.

The SR20DET in the 200SX in Japan is rear drive.

The SR20DE available in the SE and SE-R trims of the 200SX and B15 Sentra's (1999-2001 - SE trim only) is FWD.

The only other SR20 powered Nissan in N/A was the G20 (which actually introduced the SR20 to the market in 1991). It's known as the Primera in other markets and hase the SR20DET AND SR20VE (with variable intake/exhaust).

 

[Dimitrios]

But was it mounted transversely?

No. It'd be EXTREMELY difficult to drive the front and rear axle's with a transversely mounted engine (just thing Subuaru's for a simple example).

The BlueBird has it mounted longitudely.

 

[low_psi]

Step off the Drifting/240 bandwagon and everything will be OK.

i have seen transveral sr20de(t?)s before

Ehh? The 200SX over here didn't even remotely share a chassis with the 240SX/Silvia/180SX at all... The S13 chassis is the Sylvia's, 180's and the 240's... So the 240 was essentially America's Sivlia... The 200SX was just a Sentra with two doors. =)
