Spend the $5000 on a turbo engine set + fmic + exhaust. In the long run it will probably be better than trying to turbo the na sr20de. ---

^^^^ Most of Japan will disagree with that. Chunki Bai ran a turboed NA SR for years and made sick power with it. 300whp is easy, with NA throttle response. Not a good platform if you’re shooting for undriveable street power. And you could do it easily for $5000 with management, as long as your motor is in good shape to begin with. ---

That’s right. :roll: Too bad he had it before he was sponsored. And doesn’t run it now. And none of them have sponsor money LOL They get discounts at best. But yeah, bolt in one of those bulletproof, free and easy to maintain SR20DETs in for 5 grand. Y’know, free and easy for the average person. ---

for 5 grand we can turbo your NA motor and you can spend the rest on supporting mods. all we’d have to do is drill the block to run oil lines to the turbo and you’ll be making more power than a stock turbo SR, ala chunky bai like mr200 said. PM me or drop by MSSC, where are u located? ---

^^^ Not if the motor is not already installed. If he has to add an engine swap to that price, probably not feasable. But considering these engines typically sell for $500 with tranny and ECU … If the motor was already in the car, it would be a lot cheaper. And come on, it’s a Small Block Ford … jeebus get it right. Like that Chevy ick would … Anyway. Running lower boost on an NA motor is common in Japan. And not just Chunky Bai. A lot of people do it. They trade off the ability to make big power, but gain a responsive engine package. 300whp is common on these setups. They come with better valvetrains, more aggressive cams, and aren’t much weaker than the SR20DET (cuz it’s such a powerhouse to begin with … don’t fuck with magnets). The NA SR Silvia Q motor is not the same as the FWD SR20DE out of Sentras and 2000NSx. ---
