SR20DE vs. SR20DET

can someone please tell me what cars use the SR20DET and what kind of turbo that it runs stock? thanks

There's the Nissan Avenir, in an AWD drivetrain with an improved turbo manifold design and a T25 with a front mounted IC. Output is around 226HP.

The Pulsar GTiR is also AWD with a T28 similar output to the Avenir. The GTiR is a bit different motor, it has stronger internals and can put down higher numbers than other SR20DET's without having to make major changes. It comes with a top mounted IC.

Then there are other SR20DET's that I don't know where they come from, but they put out lower numbers than the GTiR and the Avenir and come with T25s and top mount IC's.

Then there are various Silvia RWD SR20DET's and I don't know shit about them other than they don't fit in FWD configurations like the AWD ones can, at least not without extensive modification.

I think there's a few others out there but that's about all I know about them. Do some searching at www.sr20deforum.com, you'll find out more there. Also search/ask in the turbo forums here.

There ya go, the Bluebird motors are the ones I was referring to as "other", my mind drew a blank.

I think Bluebird's are front wheel drive. Most of the differences are in the turbo size, where the intercooler is located, injector size, compression ratio, and block code. The GTi-R is a 54C block which is superior to the other SR20 blocks, it has bigger rod bearings and a better oiling system. Also, the SR20DET's come with piston oil coolers. GTi-R compression is 8.3:1, where the bluebird and Avenir have 8.5:1. The GTi-R has 440cc/min injectors, the bluebird motor has 370cc/min. The Bluebird block has more parts that are interchangeable with the USDM SR20's, so it's a little easier to get parts.

There are no front wheel drive SR20DETs. However, the AWD tranny of the Bluebird unbolts, and the tranny of the FWD NX2000/G20/SE-R bolts up fine.

That's not true at all...Bluebird's are Front wheel drive and as far as I know, Avenir's are too. The GTi-R is AWD, and that tranny has yet to be adapted

there are NO FWD sr20det's like spnx said. this is a FACT.

The Avenir, like the Bluebird, is also AWD.

Trust me. I have a Bluebird engine in the garage. The transmission from it is almost as large as the engine itself!

wow! I can't believe I've been under the incorrect assumption that BB's are FWD's...I apologize for the misinformation. my bad

kesi24 · Apr 28th, 2003, 05:02 PM

There are FWD BB motors ..Verry Rear .I have one ...kesi24

spnx · Apr 28th, 2003, 05:34 PM

FWD = front wheel drive, not four wheel drive.

All Bluebirds are AWD, no front wheel drive.

LexKyB13 · Apr 28th, 2003, 06:26 PM

once again, spnx is correct. how many times does this have to be covered???

kesi24 · Apr 28th, 2003, 07:25 PM

Once again.. im not going to argue. Im just here to inform peoplewho wants to listen .Their are FWD BB i have family in the lsland's and they drive blue birds SSS(altima) and my aunt have a turbo 5 speed.I also have a jdm 5 speed lsd tranny that came with my bb motor.Most 98% of Bluebirds have auto tranny's

kesi24 · Apr 28th, 2003, 07:31 PM

I posted a link on sr20deforms of JDM With a red vc just like a bluebird with no turbo .It has a JDM exhaust manafold on it.its low port like 94-up se-r .No one ever saw that motor before.No one could answer me .I asked what kind of motor this is...Belive what you want but ...
