jon3k 03-26-2002, 10:19 AM We've got a little debate going on another msg board about which stock block can handle more power. I don't know the engine code of the 1.8T, but its that vs. the SR20DE. I've seen some 400hp 1.8T's. So whats the most out of an SR20DE? Its got to be more than that, right? Please help shut up the loud mouth saab guy :) spnx 03-26-2002, 11:08 AM Well, there was that 700 hp SR20DET JUN Silvia, search the SCC Web site for details... jon3k 03-26-2002, 11:15 AM Originally posted by spnx Well, there was that 700 hp SR20DET JUN Silvia, search the SCC Web site for details... as in the sport compact car website? (www.sportcompactcarweb.com?). i can't find any way to search the site. SmoothDaddyFig 03-26-2002, 11:40 AM I thought it was in www.importtuner.com WhiteSER 03-26-2002, 11:44 AM I doubt the JUN silvia would be considered a stock block. spnx 03-26-2002, 11:56 AM True. Stock block is probably somewhere around 450-500 whp, if memory serves... jon3k 03-26-2002, 12:28 PM Originally posted by spnx True. Stock block is probably somewhere around 450-500 whp, if memory serves... that would be perfect. anyone have any links to SR20DE(t) powered cars making 450-500hp? playatx99 03-26-2002, 12:32 PM well i think that whats most impressive is that the 1.8t was designed as a turbocharged motor, the SR20 was made to be N/A....... the DET is even stouter se-r sam 03-26-2002, 01:21 PM are you talking about the ca18det, if so they are supposed to handle 340-360 hp at the wheels. From what i've heard the rod's give up the ghost after that. spnx 03-26-2002, 02:52 PM No, we're talking about the SR20DET. kpw97 03-26-2002, 03:07 PM My friend, that is a big VW guy, used to have a 1.8 NA engine in his 87 jetta. This is the block that the 1.8t was based on, according to him at least. So, I think you have it backwards. The 1.8t was originally NA. The sr20 was originally turbo. The DE just has just ups the compression a bit and removes the turbo. Wasn't Jamie Farrer's 500+ hp run on the stock bottom end? Also, what 1.8T's put out 400 hp? The most I've heard of was a little over 300. aztecred92 03-27-2002, 12:16 AM Originally posted by playatx99 well i think that whats most impressive is that the 1.8t was designed as a turbocharged motor, the SR20 was made to be N/A....... the DET is even stouter Actually our beloved SR20 was designed to be turbocharged, which is why we have such a "stout" engine in N/A form. Either way, both motors deserve their praise. | ||
