·Has anyone here tried turbocharging a Euro or Japanese spec SR20DE? These come with slightly higher compression than the US spec motors (10:1 vs 9.5:1) which should mean you can run less boost without detonation.
Has anyone tried this, and what levels of boost were you able to run? And what did this relate to in hp terms?
I'm basically looking into turbocharging my Euro spec Primera, but I can't decide how best to do it. Either 1) turbo the existing SR20DE with 10:1 compression, 2) do the same but source some DET/GTi-R pistons to drop the compression to 8.3:1, or 3) scrap the SR20DE and drop in a genuine SR20DET.
One more thing - where did you guys get the oil feed from when you did your homemade turbo conversions? Did you just drill out the blank where the DET oil feed goes, and then another one near the sump for an oil return?
