internal differences between the sr20de and sr20det
Hello,
I am new at the Nissan board since I am mostly a Honda guy but I am thinking of switching over to Nissan. I've heard that the nissan sr20de is a pretty strong motor and I was wondering what are the major internal differences between the sr20de and the sr20det.
Will it be better to buy a sentra/200sx SE-R and make it turbo or get a cheap non-SE-R sentra or 200sx and drop the sr20det.
I know the sr20det comes out of a RWD car but will it also drop in the FWD cars I mentioned?
Better off getting a 240sx?
thanks for your patience in explaining this,
L.

well think about this guy
you can start out with a sentra and throw a turbo kit on it.. or you can swap it in.. in japan some front wheel drive cars had sr20dets also
but then you're stuck with dealing with no traction at all, crappy torque steeer, bad handling, and transmsisions that break when you start to make higher than 300 hp...
Or you can get an already excellent handling 240sx, and make it even better by swapping it, and have one of the most fun cars that ever exists with a transimissinon that does hold almost 450 hp and 500 tq..

internal differences of the de and det include cams
pistons
rods may be different in a det as well
oil squirters ? some stupid shit lie that
oil pump gear
nothing major except the C:R of the pistons.. and even thats very easy to be fixd its called forged internals..
bah who cares
theyre nice motors

1. SR20DET never came in FWD. AWD or RWD.
2. RWD SR20DET will not fit in a FWD. Only AWD motor will.
3. Buy a 240sx for pure speed, Buy a Sentra/200sx for comport and speed. (more traction problems)
4. Blue Bird SR20DET is virtually the same as US SR20DE except the copression is lower and it has oil squirters.
5. If you intend on getting a Sentra/200sx buy the SE-R and turbo that motor. (Cheaper to swap also) It is good for well over 300hp if done properly.
6. Buy my Talon for $4,000 and start there.

the SR20DET DID come int FWD. that is the bluebird motor. it is basically a US sr20 de in the inside exept pistons wich have a lower compression ratio for handling the boost very well. The All Wheel Drive version of the SR20DET is from the Nissan Pulsar(Sunny) GTi-R. this engine, however, is a little different. this is the the troublemaker of the family so to speak. this engine is very meen. it has a different block than the US SR20, different internals, different turbo setup( T28 opposed to the bluebirds T25), and i different intake manifold. ive rode in a B13 sentra with the GTi-R Swap, its one of my friends down there in Tampa. some of you may have encountered it. it has the all powerful "Top Mount Radiator' . i do resent the statements of " you cannot get any traction with the FWD DET cars and they handle like shit basically." HA! okay, reason why they cany hook up is because 1, they might not have JWT motor mounts( very helpful). 2, they might ground control coilovers. 3, tires. how can you say that when tires mean so much. slap on some dragslicks on that bitch and youl think no traction. 4, not handle goood? hahahha! why dont you go on the SR20DEforum.com and look around. theres numerous people that roadrace/autocross thier DET powered sentra/G20. Greg Perry has one very meen autocross car and its T28 powered US spec SR20DE( but now turbo). my best suggestion is to go to the SR20DEforum and SEARCH for topics. because what you have asked, thousands of people have asked before and they keep it on file. so enjoy, and welcome to nissans, you wont turn back. theres plenty of DET/DE people in tampa. why dont you ask for a ride in thier car. once you hear the engine you wont want to drive that honda of yours later

The SR20DET only ever came in two forms:
AWD
and
RWD.
There is no such thing as a FWD SR20DET. The Pulsar GTi-R was AWD and so was the Bluebird SSS. The non-turbo Bluebirds were FWD and had hydraulic clutches.
And, RWD cars do have better traction than FWD cars.

really jay? i thought they did. owell. i really beleive you. you know a shitload more than i do. i thought the bluebirds were fwd with the det. my bad. but then why is it that the GTi-R motor is a bitch to fit in? is it because it uses different parts for tranny/drivetrain? i think thats waht ive heard from everybody but im just a little bit curious. BTW, you met me while i was down and youve met my sis when you went to Bennigans with Jihad.

so how much do you charge for an in-and-out sr20det swap into a 1990 240sx if you were to get me the motor?
thanks,

The A/C will work and everything will look OEM.
I do not sell engines. I only install them.

I remember meeting you and I also fixed your sister's broken power window regulator
Peace,
