SR20DET maintanance

hey is there any good ways how maintain your SR20 engine or any other turbo charged cars? because im sorta new to turbo cars

BAN!!! BAANN HIIMM!!! LOCK IT AND BANNNN!!!

Well SR20’s are pretty sweet engines but if you want to keep it that way you have to add some Aunt Jemima’s syrup to your oil.

Just change your oil with synthetic every 4-5k. Do 3k intervals if you beat the shit out of it.

mmmm syrup. i dont think ive ever left my oil in my car for more than 2000 kms :rolleyes:

I do oil changes about 100-500 kms before each track day. Oil takes time to break in especially synthetic and even more so when switching brands.

But SR’s are good motors, i have about 65000 kms on mine and none of it was driven nicely. The only thing that went was a waterpump and alternator. (alt was my fault tho)

i have LOTS of problems with my sr…it seems like it wants to die on me at the worste times
for exampple this weekend i went out to lethbridge and on my way back in that huuuge
snow storm my alt belt got loose n the car died…not a big problem but a HUGE piss off
had to tow my car back to leth for 160 and get that stupid belt tightend for 75 buks…
man was it ever a shitty weekend lol also when i went to canmore a couple weeks ago
i got to drive home the next day and my turbo came loose from the mani so i had a huuge
boost leak n had to drive super slow all the way home…lol

maybe that was the driver not the sr that made those problems, 240driftz

lol whats that supposed to mean? im a bad driver so my engine has lots of problems? good one!

I think he is referring to some occasional preventative maintenance.

thank you

Whats the one thing your car, a pot and a kettle all have in common Jamie? :finga:
