[mmdb]

Hi i'm new to this forum. I have a gsr integra and hoping to sell it and go the nissan route (i've seen the light).

My question is does would the s13 or s14 be better to boost? Which one would respond better to uping the boost? Thank you in advance.

whoops i meant to say sr20det from an s13 or from an s14. Also has anyone here in california had problems with the law and their sr20det? yes i've searched

S14 has a better turbo...

S14 is Low Port Head flow

S13 is high port

sr20det wont pass visual inspection part of smog testing in cali.

JESSERPI.

yes, but what about the boost question? high port or low port...I've heard high port.

You would think high port would be better, as it would allow a better flow path into the cylinder. But then again if you really knew what you were doing and ported the low port just right, you might actually be able to get a better swirl effect and a better overall quality of combustion. I dunno for sure but i still say high port!

the only way to get it passed emisions is to have a friend on the inside, bribe the emissions tester or ive heard you can put stuff in your gas and set it up special for when your gonna get it tested?

well he said cali..they have a visual inspection that goes into the inspection of a car as well....and gas addititives arent going to make the SR20det visually legal ; )

Yeah all you people in Cali need to sell your SR's...buy low milage KA's and just turbo them!! hahaha

[burgy240]

Or test the KA then swap and then swap again for next test.......of course who the hell wants to do that!

the only good thing about living in wisconsin is that if your car is registered in madison you dont have any emissions!!!!

get the s13. you pay too much for the s14 and pretty much all you get that is different in the VTC and a better turbo

Get an s13 get cams and a turbo upgrade and you will probably be better off...

anyone in here from cali have an sr20det that have run into problems or have been caught? I've been reading a lot about how it's illegal etc. etc. But has anyone ever experienced smog inspections and/or been caught? And if so did you get around it?

I'm seriously looking into buying a 240 and doing the swap. Thanx in advance!
