it comes stock with 7 pounds of boost.. with all my upgrades im running about 8 or 8 1/2 pounds of boost.. with a boost controller i heard you can boost it to about 14 pounds before you reach your limit.. of course if you started to upgrade your injectors and turbo and get a good tune... i hear you can squeeze around 400 whp out of it on stock internals....

oh yeah, i forgot to mention that its an okay daily driver, ive been driving mine for about 3 days and it seems okay... the only trouble im having is that everytime i come to a complete stop or even rev it up high and let off.. the rpms are dropping really really low and then catching its self and bringing it back up to idle. i think i can fix that problem pretty easy though and it will make a really smooth daily driver.. by the way, the exhaust i have on it right now is not abnoxoiusly loud either.. if you do the swap, make sure you recirculate the BOV... i screwed up and got the RFL just for the nasty sound it makes.. now when i let off the gas it's not quite as smooth as i would like... make sure you buy your engine from a reputable place and do your research on that place before you shell out 2500 dollars on an engine youve never seen.. in my case, i drove to the shop and had them crank up the front clip before i gave the money.... sorry that this is such a long post.. but if you need help with the swap.. there's a video on drifting.com that i bought... it covers the entire swap from start to finish and it is very informative.. you should look at that before you start, cause it's only like 25 bucks.. your engine is 2500... lol

sounds good. well bigger injectors is a no brainer lol, i think the boost will be contajous. i totally admit i dont know a thing about sr motors cause nowish im hooked on the ka. and long posts r never a prob. in the future im def havin assloads of em to figure that lil 2 liter but its still a nissan and underestimated im sure( definatly by me haha) as of finding a good motor im lookin into heavy throttle, seems to have clean motors and not sketchy ones... ebay... its also n hour away so shippin wont kill the wallet.

yeah, heavy throttle or enjuku racing... phase 2.... they are all good places... so far im liking my SR20.... you should do a little research on the difference between motor sets and front clips.. i recomend getting a front clip, but it's up to you... some of those places only sell motor sets...

with the front clip you have everything you need for installation... it's also a great visual reference on how to do the swap.. drawbacks include having to pull 2 motors instead of just 1.. the motorsets sometimes are complete, and sometimes they arent... in my case, i actually heard the front clip running before i bought it... some places will do that for you to, just check around
