Sweeeeet.....Gotta love the SR20DET's potential....even when it's stock internals. Good job and good luck in the future.

 

Hey, nice looking FD. Did you buy that car off ebay? I remember seeing one that looked exactly like yours. I'm not a big fan of the headlights, but oh well. Nice, 360 reliable ponies. Are you on the rx7 forum (rx7club.com)? I wonder what they will say when they hear about this.

I like it.

Damn I'm fast. BTW, there is a problem yet to be resolved with the Mustang dyno so all results must be shifted over 700rpm higher than the graph depicts. I have been corrected that the pulls were to 7300rpm and not 7200rpm. So peak power actually occured a bit lower about 7K RPM.

Good job.Keep us posted.

 

damn thats sexy. less work to do on your FD rite?

 

does it throw off wieght distribution any? i figure 13bs hang back more closer to the firewall.

 

beautiful. is that a custom intake mani?

 

I am almost sure that the 13b weighs more than the sr20det motor so that should'nt affect the balance that much, sitting that far forward.

 

the 13b weighs 65lbs more, the back of the det sits about an inch further back and the front is is only 2.5" further forward....

240Z went with the best of both worlds. With the motor and car and the results have turned out NICE! Keep up the good work and keep us posted on this beast! Later.

 

Shaun the car is absolutely bad ass. COngrats man and please send us more pics and keep up to date. THanks.

 

Probably more results later this evening. The initial goal was 400hp@wheels with stock long block so filling her with the 114 leaded and upping the boost until the 400hp@wheels mark is reached and then over to whip some ******* tail at the local street races. huh-huh that there won of dem fancy turbo things.

 

thats funny. i was just looking a that at www.rx7club.com and was about to make a link to it. i think its a great idea. congrats

 

Congrats Shaun. The car is bad mofo.. Please keep up us to date and good job....

 

Finally the Ultimate SR-7

 

we named it the SRX-1 (SR experiment 1)

Shaun

 

Suitable name

 

Maybe I missed it somewhere, but why did you choose the Nissan SR20 over the Mazda 20B?(just wondering, I have a 240 btw) I heard that the rotaries are excellent when turboed, but I also heard that they tend to have problems.... eh i dunno, enlighten me.

 

I know rotaries are good engines if you know what you are doing and the fact is very few people in the US know how to tune a rotary to max potential. A SR on the other hand is easier to tune and there is a lot more info floating is why I would do the swap. I have worked on rotaries and what a pain the one I was working on I just gave up on.

On the RX-7's I know the cooling is a biggie also the vacum lines, and the seals can go out easily if not well maintained. Stubby

 

slow ass download...cant see pics...looks sweet from what i could see though.

 

that's cool as hell. good job.

 

Update, some minor tweaking last night netted 375hp@wheels anothe 15hp.

 

hey if its no trouble... can you take a closeup of the exhaust manifold, it looks very interesting. It looks from my angle like it does like a 100 degree turn between the turbo and the exhuast ports, does the create more lag/slightly lower gaines?
