thagremlin Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 Haha, no that swap went into a 240sUx. I'll stick with my mitsu motors. I'm sure you'll enjoy it, the response is great and so is the souuuuund. Try and weigh the complete engine to see if you're gaining/losing any weight. I just reread your first post, it's a front sump engine, and you won't need to change the front cross member. However, be SURE to pull the lower oil pan and bang ANY and ALL dents out because the oil pickup tube clearance to the pan is very small. Our engine wouldn't pump oil, and couldn't figure out why... then I looked at the oil pan. Fixed that right away with a soft hammer and RTV. OR You could upgrade that lower pan too, since you're going to be tracking your car. I believe Greddy makes a nice wider pan. -Robert i would imagine that the motor is lighter due to the sr20 block being aluminum and our cast iron.. but im not sure..

patra_is_here Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 personally ive never been a fan of the SR20. parts aren't cheap and as far as i know the motor is completely illegal in any vehicle. but, should be good for what you're doing. i don't believe in the price per HP idea to justify the SR vs the G54B. both will probably cost the same in the long run to build BIG power. i think the g54b is cheaper to build a little more power. 220 at the wheels is easy on a starion for around $200 total investment if you shop right.

Kane Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 Check for HKS Spark Plugs. If u have them then u need get your motor from a different source next time! OK i recommend Don't run a act clutch, cuz Sr's have weak transmissions and u will get crank walk easily in 6 months with an act clutch The stock turbo's are no better then a hairdryer. they wont last as soon as u turn up the boost Get rocker stoppers DONT USE EBAY SR PARTS!! always use name brand parts, U will blow it up quickly if u got "cheap". Ebay exhaust manifolds only last a month then they will end up cracking all over the place. Replace the coolant lines on the inside of the intake manifold as its very easy to blow 1 and overheat these motors. seriously, and no1 ever replaces them cuz they are a pita Sr's dont have torque they are a hp motor.

Kane Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 dont forget to reroute your fuel lines to the pass side, btw we dyno'ed a stock redtop in a s13. only 147whp :/ . idk then to have less torque it seems like a downward turn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
