Making A Powerfull Reliable sr20det

[TonyMontana]

Ok, lets say, u buy a sr20det and do the following-better rods and pistons-slight hone-gasget-head bolts-springs-RAS-cams-greddy oil pan-big intercooler-big radiator-big oil cooler

will this be enough to ensure u that u will have a reliable, long lasting sr20det

im still hunting down my car, and will do a swap in the summer, since im trying to get a 5 year, $20,000CAD loan,(worth the same as an american nickle), im gonna do tons of **** to the car right away. and my goal (i know i always change my mind) is to have reliable, powerful sr20det 97 240sx. it needs to last me for a long time.

so is this enough to ensure a long lasting sr20det. and waht else would u do to it>??thanks

yes but what are your hp goals and purposes for the car? These motors last a long time....

[TonyMontana]

well, not more than 400rwhpim guestimating around 350rwhp, will satisfy me

many people say ill kill myself with a stock 240sx, lol(jokin) i can drive really good, but i just want a fast fun reliable sexy good handling car, is that too much to ask

[lessthanjakejohn]

you forgot engine management, that is the most important thing because the bottom end can withstand 350hp stock

[TonyMontana]

well of couse engine managmentthat was implied, lol

[240_Keyy]

John, it can withstand more than that

[TonyMontana]

so u think, if u do all this, u can make it last 5+ years??with regular oil changes ands such

[lessthanjakejohn]

if you rebuild it when you get it, their is no reason that I think of why it won't
