Ok SE-R lovers, here's my conundrum:
My current engine is on the way out due to low oil pressure and when I dropped my oil pan I found some chunks of metal that looked like piston skirt to me and also a piece of a ring land....yeah not good.
So...I'm going back and forth on what I should do. Just buy another SR20 for $300-$500 from a engine importer and upgrade to the 100 shot program OR go for the SR20DET from SR20Development complete w/ IC relo kit.
If I go DET, I can sell off a lot of parts like my trusty N20 kit, HS headers, etc. and the final cost to me will be around $500 more than if I went with an NA engine with 100 shot and upgraded fuel systems.
I know the 100 shot will net me at least mid 12s in the 1/4 while the stock DET will be good for mid 13s, but the DET is upgradeable in the future while the NOS is not as that's the limit for a dry shot (unless I go with direct port and a 140 shot!).
Damn, I'm bouncing back and forth on this one hard...I NEED your input! Thanks.
