Engine swap questions
 

Why does the Nissan SR20DET engine seem to be a must-have engine in the twins by modders? wouldn't the newer version (VQ37VHR, found in the 370z) be a better choice?

The SR20 is an ODB1 engine, and just plain old now (the newest example is over 14 years old now). I can understand the swaps like the 2JZ where they get 900bhp and crazy torque, but even then, they're both really old engines.

I haven't seen anyone drop an sr20 into an ft86. Most of the swaps are either a 2jz or a Chevy smallblock v8.

A well-built sr20 can push a shit ton of power though.

A couple of Nissan SR20's would pull a premium one week before race wars.



Never heard of someone putting an SR20 in a twin

Ziek Power in Japan did

Id rather have a built F22C stroked and bored to the F24C status with a nice EFR7163 on it. 8/9k redline and between 4-500 whp on a solid motor. Mmmmm...

2JZ no sh*t

Because its still one of the best 4 cylinders around, especialy when you put a VVEL head on it. And they were produced till August 2002 in the S15 and the SR20VET was in production till 2008.

i honestly dont know why people swap things other than small blocks or k20s into cars.

Because small blocks belong in the 50's and K20's in Honda's! :)
