a lil more power out of my sr20 please

[migsk8]

i have a stock sr with fmic, blow off valve, 3' piping, the gauges blah blah blah, but i want like 20 to 50 more HP, i don't want to put the bottom end of my sr in ANY danger, so if i was to upgrade turbo, what would be the highest amount of boost i could turn it up to ?

or if you have any other suggestions on how to make more HP with like around $500

up the boost to something like 10psi. you could do a little more but you'll really be pushing that aging t25 and working those injectors and mafs.

i would rather not turn up the boost, that t25 actually is aging, it was smoking a bit meaning that the seals on it are not that great :[

look in the classifieds section, i know i've seen a few sr20 upgrade turbos for sale. also check the for sale section on carolinanissans.com there was a gt2871 for sale on there for about $400 IIRC. after that just upgrade the injectors and run a FMIC and you're golden. its not going to be cheap, but it's more cost effective than trying to buy all new parts.

well... if you dont care about looks.... I have a 91 that i have stripped every last bit of fat from and am safely running 13.5psi on the stock turbo (redtop Sr w/similar bolt-ons) although there isnt ALOT to be saved in terms of weight, it does pull noticeably harder especially when you only got a quarter tank or so of gas. (but good luck getting traction in 1-2)

(My deuce is also my daily driver and i dont get annoyed by the extra road noise or anything, but its all in your preference, or further, if this is your daily driver or not.)

just a hard day of stripping and gutting if you go for it...oh yea, and dont plan on having any backseat riders cuz those seats cant be excluded!

[migsk8]

that sounds good, but it is my DD car, and i do pimp hoes :] , so i gotta have a back seat,

anybody know how much HP the stock bottom end will hold safely?

[Bronze MFP]

the SR is pretty stout. i'd say 300 to 350hp would be about all you would want to push on a DD, even then who knows how long it will last at that power level. Depends on tuning.You def wont get that out of the stock turbo though.
