hello from australia; sr20de + turbo setup

[rob9246]

thought id say hello since ive been lurking in these forums a while now

i have an sr20de that came with my stock s13 qs.bolted on an sr20det turbocharger (t25g stockie) and away i went.

hopefully bolting on a hiflowed t28 this week.be interesting.

put the turbo on at 125thousand kms. done 170thousand now. no signs of giving up yet

my s13s also fitted up with:

koni shockswhiteline springswhiteline front/rear swaybarswhiteline rear urethane bushesarc rosejointed tention/castor rodsurethane front control arm bushesurethane subframe lock/align kit (whiteline)front /rear strut braces3" exhausthalf cage2way mechanical diffupgraded clutch300zx brakes (front only)16" rimssmallish fmic

has anybody there in the US done a de + t setup?

The Sentra guys have been doing it for a while now.

And welcome.

ah cool. i remember finding a little info on that while doing it to minethose guys seem to buy whole kits with compelte engine management and it looks pretty pricey

nobody else has done it around here. im surprised its still holding up. just goes to show how strong the sr is

over 100thousand miles and nothing but fluid and filter changes. and a water pump

hiya! the sr20de with a t added is a cool setup. the sentra usdm motor is great for doing this too. but the jdm sr20de has a higher compression ratio. 10:1. its okay too for turbo, but not as much of a buffer from detonation. Not sure if your sr20de is a higher compresion engine or not. not all sentra guys pay a lot of money. we sell sentra turbo kits for $1600 usd. with everything like fittings to injectors.http://www.jgycustoms.comshaun

yeah to me $1600US sounds like a heap

the std turbo and manifold locally is worth about $400, injectors 100. fmic your choice.but devide that by 1.7 or so for the US dollar ammount

what do whole front clips cost there?you can expect to pay about 2500-3000au which is prob <2k US ? (oanda.com)

the $1600 gets you a forge front mount intercooler too. front clips are about $2500 and up. they aren't as cheap as down under. you actually have grey market cars. the us doesn't allow grey market. nor do we have the s14 sr20det available like you. i'm coming down to melbourne in a month or two! what part are you from? i'm going to try to make some friends and drink some beer! shaun
