I recently found a 91 SE-R w/ 125xxx miles 5spd all power options black w/ grey interior asking $2000 obo.

Is this a good deal? If I'm informed correctly this car has the SR20 motor. Now is the the same motor they put in silvia's just minus the turbo? Is it at least the same block? Should I snatch this car up with the quickness? Is there anything I should look for? Im not used to 5spds, so should I bring a friend who is to drive it as well? Any other info would be very helpfull. Oh and also can the motor have a turbo installed and still be daily driver? What kind of power potential does and SE-R have? Thanks

- Ill informed 240 owner Joe....

yes it has the SR20 motor. yes it's very similar to the Silvia motor. They're both SR20 engines but the Silvia engine has a few more goodies in addition to the turbo. Yes, snatch it up with a quickness. For common problems and things to look for, go to SE-R.net
yes, bring your friend to drive it. Yes, you can absolutely install a turbo and daily drive it. This engine was built to have a turbo on it. The power potential is huge. Over 400 wheel HP on the stock engine, and that's reliable power, too.

Whats difference between wheel hp and motor hp?

Wheel HP is the power that's actually reaching the ground and making your car move after being transmitted, and slightly reduced (~15%) through the drivetrain. Flywheel HP is the power measured right at the flywheel, with nothing to rob power from it.
