He looks to you, and offers a playful rev. Insulted, you answer with a honking hello from your 4.5+ liters of displacement. Little did you know what 22psi of boost pressure could offer to a puny little 2 liter engine....
The light turns green, and you're handed your *** and stuck sitting at a pair of tail lights. You stop, talk, and look for the nitrous bottle - and fail. You smell the exhaust, and hope for the sweet smell of high octane - only to smell good ole 93 octane gas. You keep looking for excuses...built motor? Nope. Unusuable powerband? Sorry. Impossible price tag? Nope. Unstreetable? Hardly.
This is the power of tuning and a well thought out setup. Utilizing a 100% stock unknown (no cams no headgasket milage motor from japan (SR20DET), a couple motor bolt ons (larger injectors, turbo, manifold, intake manifold), some supporting parts (large intercooler, BOV, exhaust, downpipe), and a prototype engine management system that you'll be hearing about soon, this street legal rice burning red rocket is dead set to run 11's on pure street tires. This car has previously run a best of 12.3@120mph with 29hp less and a lot less torque.
Let's put this in some numbers that you can appreciate
100+ hp per piston 200+hp per liter 2400lb RWD street car And he fills up at the same gas station that your grandma does - and get's the same mpg she does, if not better!
This is a Secret Services, Tampa FL car.
congrats....nice #'s.
fyi...we are running 10's on a stock sr20det, stock headgasket, no internal work, just upgraded turbo, manifold, injectors, mafs, bigger intercooler (not very large, lol), and 3" exhaust, and fuel pump : D (went the 12.3 on stock turbo)
someone ran a 8.4 on a stock sr20det HEAD very recently : )
Get some drag radials, and a good lsd (if it dont have one), you can run a low 11 w/ a good driver w/ that setup....no info on what turbo/wastegate its running?
Id build that block quickly, do the headgasket, tune for a 100shot, and go run a mid 10, but thats just me
again, congrats....have fun
