> [@Hanzzzzz"](#): > > lol, good at what i do? I’m a sheetmetal mechanic apprentice, I just really like early 90’s nissan 4 cylinders and engine technology in general. > > an SR20VE motorset can go for around +$1600. with an N1 head, N1 or franklin cams, appropriate sized exhaust and maf, and a good tune, u can easily get well over 200whp, prolly around 215 or so. N1 stuff is expensive though, a stock VE is very decent. > > dont give up on the GA just yet though, i said it doesnt respond well to N/A mods, however it does respond very well to turbocharging. long stroke motors tend to create more turbulance in the combustion chamber, a turbo likes this. GA’s have proven to be excellent turbo motors, producing very respectable numbers, they also have an iron block, semi closed deck, beefy rods, and are in fact lighter then an SR. your motor would make for a particularly good turbo candidate due to its low milage. > > another option is an SR20DET motorset. they can be had for as little as $700 and produce good numbers. they are by far the most popular option because of cost, reliability and ease of installation. however, they dont feel the same way a turbo GA would. they’re not as torquey and tend to make their power above 3000rpm, turbo or not. > > if you wanted to be really different, you can actually buy FWD CA18DET motorsets as well. from what i have heard, CA’s are very revvy motors. > > I thing a GA16DE-T would be awesome for you since you like the torque, but if you want to gather some info of your own, try: > [http://www.nissanperformancemag.com/](http://www.nissanperformancemag.com/) - there are multiple GA-T and SR20 projects on this site > [http://www.sr20forum.com/](http://www.sr20forum.com/) - the place to go if you own a B13/B14, tonnes of invaluable info and cheap parts for sale. to talk to locals, post in the canada section. it doesnt matter if you own an SR, there’s just tonnes of B13’s there. > [http://www.se-r.net/index.php](http://www.se-r.net/index.php) - another great site for B13’s ohh hehe, i thought you were a mechanic, the way you talked about the engines really detailed, but hey its all good, and thanks for the info again, this time it really helped out. I will be checking out the sr20forum, because i went on there once yea and they were many B13’s. The other site’s sound good too, will check those out too. If these prices you mentioned of the engines are CDN, then they are way cheap compared to Honda’s, and i like that, i will just have to research which engine would produce the best hp levels for me the cheapest, because im more into circuit and auto-x so i don’t really need a 12 sec car, if you get my drift:drivin ,hehe. ---

lol, I’m not a mechanic, but I have worked a little bit in the race industry, as a bodyman, as an unlicensed mechanic, etc. the VE is an awesome motor for an autocrosser, you’re less likely to get bumped into a higher class since it doesnt have a turbo. it also has the balls to hold its own on a higher speed circuit, especially in a light car like a B13. ---

Yea VE sounds nice, all i need is a 200hp B13, and reduce some weight,with an exceptional suspension setup, and i will definately be waisting faster higher end cars on the track, like i said before if i could waist a 1990 rx-7 on the street with a slow 130hp civic, im getting chills thinking about a 1900lbs)reduced weight) 200hp B13 VE in my hands. ---

it would definatly be a well balanced car, not some overwhelming turbo monster. you would save on transmissions as well. it takes a lot of restraint not to be seduced by the numbers a turbo motor puts down. ---

Yea guys i have a sentra but i dont have any picks with me at hand. It is a 1994 xe 5speed grey ext/int. I am the second owner of the car. Its a wicked car on gas/insurance and i have never had any real problems with it. Although i do not like how it drives there’s lots of body roll, which brings me to this forum to ask people for methods to resolve that. Speaking of Alta richmond hill i had my car there a while a go because i had the engine light on. Turned out to be the wire connecting to my MAF (it broken) ---
