Ok, here's the deal. I'm thinking of putting an sr20det in a Datsun 510. Here is my question...What is a power level that can be reasonably attained without spending a fortune? I would like to hit 300, but I can't get into anything major. Sourcing used stock parts off other motors, etc would be great.
I'm not all that familiar with turbo motors, so please excuse any possible ignorance that may follow...
I figure I will push the boost up to around 12 psi (it will be a daily driver, and I can't afford to blow it up). How is this done? Can I use like a Greddy boost controller? Any cheaper options (my problem is I love technology and doo-dads, but can't afford em any more)? What else would I need to do? The car will have aftermarket exhaust, since I doubt the stock 510 stuff will do. Best header? Would upgrading to the 28 turbo help, or should I try to find a T3/4? Would I need to upgrade the injectors?
Obviously, I am a little lost. What do you guys suggest? Will an intercooler help? Bigger injectors? Greddy intake manifold? Blow-off valve? Will I need to upgrade the fuel delivery, and if so, to what extent?
What can this motor safely handle internally? I would be open to running some NOS if you think the motor can take it. It seems to me that the motor is pretty strong.
Weight is also an issue, so the lighter the parts, the better. 300hp and 2000 lbs...
If this post is too long and you are thinking of just skipping it, consider the fact that you have the opportunity to turn a Honda guy away from the flock...
