Who drives an Infiniti G20 or has experience with the SR20DE ?
 

Im picking up a 1992 Infiniti G20 with a JDM SR20DE swap either today or tomorrow. I have read a few things on sr20forum. Mainly, that the weak points on these cars are the transmissions, and dont go over 250whp unless you want problems. One guy had over 400whp on the same engine (built block) for 2 years...and went through 11 transmissions. I dont think that the pistons have valve reliefs, so you cant screw with high lift cams, or high advance. And for tuning...its pretty easy to use the SAFC, but you can get an ecu from Jim Wolf Technologies. But i dont think you can edit them, can you? Its just set with higher limits. For $600, i dont know if thats worth it.

Basically just wondering if anyone has owned or does own something similar, and what theyve done with it. Ive been screwing with Hondas for 2 years, and dont know much about Nissans. Thanks.

(id like to add an sr20 to the turbo projects section by next summer)

man dont worry about it. just do it.

Re: Who drives an Infiniti G20 or has experience with the SR20DE ?
 

oh, its not a question. it will be done. ;D I just want to see other peoples setups on HMT to give me some ideas and motivation.

Don't the US G20s come with a sr20de also?

Re: Who drives an Infiniti G20 or has experience with the SR20DE ?
 

Not to discourage you, but my Japan Built (ran the numbers) Nissan NX2000 is the biggest piece of sht ever. You want parts, it's going to the heap in about 2-3 days when our new car is ready.

Ya they do.

Dude once you know a motor, most are the same with just some basics. Do it

Re: Who drives an Infiniti G20 or has experience with the SR20DE ?
 

Knowing a motor is one thing but engine management is another. I've dealt with honda's and map sensors forever and since switching to my corolla and my Z they both use AFM's and then you have some cars that run MAF sensors. Each one has it's pros and cons. I miss my map setups though. Yeah I could go like megasquirt on both but I don't ---- money out so thats not really an option. As for the G20 and all other FWD sr20's is the wheel hop that kills them. JWT ecu's are ripoffs for how much and how long they take to get them. I'd just run a SAFC if I were you. As for HMT setups it's pretty easy since you have the FWD DET's to pick parts off of like ecu, injectors, turbo manifolds, oillines, charge pipings... You've got it pretty easy as just bolting ---- on and their usually pretty cheap on SR20Forum.

SR20DE is a very good engine.. ;) my brother have a primera p10 SR20DE red top. i drove too 100NX (think in usa is NX2000) with SR20DE and drove too S14a with SR20dEt.. i like those engines.. but my hatch stock smoke that stock engine :-* hahaha.

before to know the honda world i did want a S14a w/ sr20det but after to know my hatch w/ b-series i dont have it for none! ;)

they (honda and Nissan) are two different worlds.

My 2000 Sentra Se has an SR20, but the air conditioning is so nice that I haven't commited to turbo yet. I made a post similar to this when I was thinking about it and I believe the safc was the clear no bullshit choice of EM.

Re: Who drives an Infiniti G20 or has experience with the SR20DE ?
 

thanks guys. yeah i thought JWT ecu's were over priced...especially when i found out they werent editable. Im thinking of picking up the SAFC NEO...with the color displays...that thing is hot.

The a/c was already removed when the motor was swapped...so i dont really have an option...its already looking at me asking for boost.

im not familiar with that car...are there turbo parts on it i would want ? pm me, where are you located? (the message under your avatar owns me :1)

Re: Who drives an Infiniti G20 or has experience with the SR20DE ?
 

I would like to hear what is so shitty about the NX. They look pretty good on paper, sr20de, LSD, bigger brakes than se-r's or g20's, despite being lighter than either.. They were only out in 91-93. They are kind of weird looking, kind of like rx3 or paseo. I have thought about buying one.

Re: Who drives an Infiniti G20 or has experience with the SR20DE ?
 

NX2000 is hot and mad pimpin' if you can find one with t-tops yo. Naw I have a friend with a NX2000 that is breaking ---- on it like it's a damn DSM. Disco potato, air-water ic, nismo this and nismo that... There basically the same as a B13. The NX2000 have the big brakes on them and are the same as the Nissan Pulsar GTI-R brakes. What model is the G20? The (G20T)touring or just the plain old G20? The touring have really nice leather buckets seats that I wouldn't mind finding a set to put in the Volvo.

Re: Who drives an Infiniti G20 or has experience with the SR20DE ?
 

hmm it has been rebadged as a PRIMERA, but it may have been a touring edition. It has tan leather all the way around. Other than that, i have no idea. I just got it today, trying to get it on the road. Ill post some pictures later today.

Re: Who drives an Infiniti G20 or has experience with the SR20DE ?
 

From day one the thing has given me problems. Parts are god awful expensive. Car was a pain to work one! We bought back 4yrs ago and I has never run right, no matter what I did. Every peice of plastic on it is cheesy and breaks off, Road like a bag of crap, even on new suspension (damn short nissan travel!). Brakes may be bigger, but never worked right and were biased shitty (rear rusted out before the wore out) I don't know, I may have gotten a bad one in the bunch. But we bought a new car this week, and because of this car, I was NOT a Nissan!!!!

Re: Who drives an Infiniti G20 or has experience with the SR20DE ?
 

My front suspension is giving out with only 25k miles on the damn car :-\... and my brakes used to squeak like all hell and so I replaced my front calipers, turned the rotors down and did the back brakes, and now 5 months later/6k later they're doing the same thing again :8

Re: Who drives an Infiniti G20 or has experience with the SR20DE ?
 

Gotta love nissans! Thank god I have a Datsun. :P

Re: Who drives an Infiniti G20 or has experience with the SR20DE ?
 

Bingo!

Re: Who drives an Infiniti G20 or has experience with the SR20DE ?

Re: Who drives an Infiniti G20 or has experience with the SR20DE ?
