so its basically like a s15 motor. s15 sr has 10.1 compression.

I was under the impression ALL nissan turbo motors are 8.5-1 stock. Im sure they are.
Tell you what though, the guy who built that motor is kind of an idiot. The N/A sr20 bottom ends arnet built as much as the det, like no oil suirters and rods that are not as beefy. I know because i have an sr20de sitting in pieces right here. . . .

All he had to do was change the pistons or use a Tomei .6mm head gasket. Both of those would have had the same effect. . . .

i thought the de bottom ends were stronger cause of a different metal being used to cast the block??? couple people told me that guess they were wrong

yeah glen back in the day well like 2 years ago did this srde bottom end and srdet head
it's nothing new

[hachibill]

why in the hell do you think s15 motor's make 250hp at only 8psi?????? basically its an NAT with the turbo bottom end, just higher compression pistons.

hahaha.

that is because they ordered the incorrect wiseco pistons! lol
