: All of the good j-spec Nissan dying? TUNED200 09-02-2002, 02:05 PM http://eclipseforums.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=62673 http://eclipseforums.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=62683 is this true? i didnt know they stopped selling the sr20 motor over in japan? Brian spicez 09-02-2002, 03:29 PM Well, they are giving the Sylvia the axe, but the SR series isnt dying yet. SR16VE SR20VE SR20VET Things change, c'est la vie. 94sentraSER 09-02-2002, 10:55 PM no shit?? so does that mean that if anyone wants a sr20det theyre pretty much outta luck? so does that also mean that the sr20de's are also gonna ghet the axe? i hope there is enuff of them to go around for awhile...... cantdoadonut 09-02-2002, 11:46 PM i hope there is enuff of them to go around for awhile...... as many cars as they came in i think theyll be around for a long time 94sentraSER 09-02-2002, 11:51 PM so what cars did they come in adam? i know they came in primeras but my only concern is that if i wanted to someday do a DET swap i probably wouldn't be able to find a decent one with low miles, i guess that s one of the good things about having a nissan *** , not everyone and their brother has one............see honda ricers are good for sumpthin......... cantdoadonut 09-02-2002, 11:59 PM so what cars did they come in adam? primeras and something else , not an expert here..haha just think of how many primeras are out there though.. as long as there is a market for seeling det's over here there will be companies to find the engines to ship. 94sentraSER 09-03-2002, 12:03 AM and im assuming that DET's came in only the silvias, which they had made only X amount of those, im wondering what type of breakthrough engine they will be putting in future silvias??????? i hope its not a v6 i kinda hate those, my whole thing is getting all kinds of hardcore power outta 4 banger, thats what made it interesting........ Benito Malito 09-03-2002, 12:23 AM The Japanese engines come from clips mostly right? So after teh production there will be at least a two to three year lag period before the effects are felt. Eventually there will be allsorts of custom stuff available. Blocks, gear sets, I mean think of how much is available now. spicez 09-03-2002, 12:54 AM I know the DET's we get here in Montreal, are from 1994 car's anyways, so we wont feel the affect soon thats for sure. The DET's we get here for FWD cars are AWD Pulsar/Sunny GTi-R's, AWD Bluebird's SSS, and AWD Avenir's. Teh Primera had an SR20DE, and now the SR20VE. 94sentraSER 09-03-2002, 01:37 PM speaking of SR20VE engines, is it me or has anyone else noticed how the ft/lb of torque is reduced in those engines? SR20DE engines had almost same HP/TQ......I guess VTEC got that popular that nissan had to start making VVL engines.......now we nissan owners who might have a VVL engine is going to have to get hard revving action to get torque huh? spicez 09-03-2002, 04:33 PM Actually, there is no reduction in torque. An SR20VE makes about 10lbs more torque than a stock SR20DE. Neo-VVL just adds 40 hp, without playing with torque. Now whats the harm in that ? SR20DE's where already high reving engines, so just add to that Neo-VVL and you cna get more power too. It still makes way more torque than a B16a or B18 or any Vtec engine. 94sentraSER 09-03-2002, 06:57 PM i guess i got used to seeing SR20DE engines have HP/TQ around the same numbers, i see the new RSX has 200 HP but only 142 TQ just seems strange to look at it that way i dunno i wouldnt mind a SR16VE at least.......... cantdoadonut 09-04-2002, 04:44 AM i see the new RSX has 200 HP but only 142 TQ lined up beside a type s at the track a few weeks ago, you couldnt tell they had 200 hp by his timeslip ill tell ya that.. theyre real slow off the line, but when the v-tec kicks in they start to pick up.. only thing is by that time, youre already two car lengths ahead of them | ||
