SR20 Swap or GA16 Swap and Turbo??? - Page 3

How is the temporary rich condition going to increase power? And the rich condition is betweem shifts. Rich = less power lean = more power.

*UPDATE*
I did some research on the swap, and ran it against the cost of a new car with a turbo swap. I discovered that people who swap GA16s to SR20s either have a really cheap parts car, or they're nuts. I'm going with the buy new car thing.

I got approved for $6000 dollars toward a car with a SR20 motor. Hopefully it doesn't cost that much. I got of the phone with the bank today. I have a few I'm looking at that are local here in Utah County. Let me know if you're from around here and you have one.

Now I just need to get that dumb car fax thing bought so I can run VIN Numbers.

Thanks for your help guys.

I have an SR20DE with z31 t3 turbo. Almost ready to swap in. I got my motors for cheap and added the turbo myself. Cheaper than what it would have cost me for a SR20DET.

It looks really good. That sucker will haul when you get done with it.

Quick question. On your site, you mentioned that you got the 5th gear pop out thing fixed. The 5th gear pops on out SR20 trannies?

If you are considering buying an SE-R you should research their list of problems and quarks. The B13 tranny's were prone to fifth gear popout on the SE-R's. Not ALL cars had it and there is no designation, you just figure out if you have it or not based on your car....

There are other things you shold look in to as well so now comes the SR20 homework.

No but 5th gear popout was not a problem on the B14's

I thought 3rd and 5th gears were the B13s and B14's biggest tranny problems...aside from the fact that I can never get into reverse without trying a few other gears first.

Thanks for your guy's help. I finally bought an 00 Sentra SE. IT RULES. Its got nearly 34k miles and its in okay condition. (The paint and the other parts have seen better days. Anybody know where I can get a new back seat?)

A 200sx would have been nice, but I think I like the B15 body style, and the power is a pleasant suprise. I guess now I can move up to racing minivans.

I would like to try and turbocharge this car once I get some bills paid off, and once JWT finally comes out with an ECU. I hope I could get under 13s with that. I'm hoping for mid-high 12s. (Not that 13 isn't really fast, but hey, if I'm gonna do it, I'm gonna make sure its really fast.)

well if your really crafty you'd just get a custom setup...I think the hardest part would be getting a turbo manifold for the GA...after that your all good to go...and I think if a Honda motor with a compression of 10.1 can handle 10-15 psi I think those motors would be able to handle it...

You realize your bumping a thread that is over a year old?
