I'm building an NA Monster sr20. I know you can get more HP out of a turbo motor but I can't afford that **** LOL. I'm a machinist and know a few so we are teaming up to put together an NA Monster SR20. You guys are right about the turbo and my build not being cheap. So I rethought my whole build and decided to see how cheap I could make this build and still make some good N/A power V. Just throwing a bunch of money at it. Below is my modified parts list as you will see it is conciderably cheaper.
This will be intersting to see what it makes on the dyno this summer.
Thanks for your comments and input. So far I'm waiting for a few more parts orders to come in then It will be ready for Final clean and Assembly
Parts list:
OEM size 11:1 (After resurfacing of block and head) N-1 SR20 pistons from GSpec Performance, they are also coated I'm looking forward to getting them and finding what the coating is.
Sealed Power Rod and Main Bearings
GTIR Main Bolts, and AJUSA Brand replacement Head Bolts
Just picked up a new BECK/ARNLEY timing kit for $94 (I love Whole sale Closeouts)
Manganese Bronze Guides all new in my B14 Low port head, Due to my build schedual I'm using this head to allow me to use my current intake which is being porting to match my intake ports.
OEM Replacement sized Valves From SI that are Stainless Steel
B13 cams, P2M Rocker arm stops (for future spring and cam upgrade).
New Oil pump front cover, Damage in shipping for the block I bought
Fully counter weight crank, Balanced to 0.5 gram.
Wiesco MLS head gasket too
Future Nology Pro Fire Ignition coil If anyone has some experiance with this let me know what you thought of it.
Here is where my engine is at now. The block was decked and honed, I found the cylinders to be in the middle of my spec so It will be fine. I installed and reamed and honed my new Bronze valve guides they will provided a lower friction coefficiant and will last longer than the OEM Cast Iron ones.
My B14 low port has been fully ported,polished and now has a 3 angle valvejob. There was a ton of casting flash in this head behind my exhaust valve seats I was really suprised to see it, and my stillen header gasket had some insane overlap of my exhaust ports. So I'm going to match my header to my exhaust ports.
I'm looking to run Some ITB's from
http://www.tweakit.net for the sr20 check it out they look to be top quality. I'm working on some pics I'll put them up as the build goes on.
