S15 SR20DET for 97 240SX

max350z · Apr 29th, 2005, 02:52 PM

I'm sorry if this has been covered before but I could use some help.
What I need to know is where can I buy a SR20DET from a S15 Silvia her in the states, I live in Seattle W.A. and my car is a 97 240SX.
The reason I'm not building up my KA is because the parts are not as plentyful
for as the parts for the SR.

Hmmm S15 sr20det? Im assuming your new to this. I will help you.

Yes you can get an s15 sr20det with the 6-speed transmission, but swapping an s15 sr20det would require many modifications. The Speed sensor is in the rear.. the wiring is different, etc etc etc. The s15 sr20det is much more expensive then any other sr20det, and if your not getting the s15 notch top sr20det for just the 6-speed transmission then it would not be worth it. The s14 notch top sr20det is basically the same as the s15 sr20det. It just has a smaller turbo, 5 speed transmission, etc.

The s13 sr20det red top and black top from the nissan silvia coupe and the nissan 180sx (both only in japan) have the same amount of potential as the s14 and s15 sr20det. Even though the s14 and s15 sr20det have VVT, (same thing as honda's Vtec but with a different name) they have a "low port" design compared to the s13 sr20det's "high port design. Basically less restriction high flow vs VVT=no advantage=the same

All in all I can say that ALL sr20det engines have the same amount of potential.

This should be very helpful

the s15 6 speed may seem tempting to get, but it sucks if you add any more power to it.
