I only spent a few minutes on that forum but your 201kwatw stands out as being AWSUM, well done. Do you want me to link you to a US K20a forum and see some of their times????
Look, I aint baggin ya but SR's are a lemon. Have you compared the ports on them to a K....or even a H motor?
umm show us proof that it is a sentra and show us the mods and a timeslip.. ur other friend is sayin sentra's dont come with sr20ve's
It was just to show what potential the SR20VE had 3 years ago. My car is lighter, more power, purpose built gearbox and the motor has plenty of power left in it.Quote:

OK, best of luck at the strip,
but you are going to have a tough time beating a internally stock K series (even if you car is lighter and more powerful than the Sentra, with a purpose built gearbox)...
This is the last time I'm going to bother retorting to your nonsense. The sentra (basically a pulsar with a different shell) have never had an sr20ve, so obviously it has been transplanted...Quote:

In the end its irrelevant, its the whole package that counts. How he makes the power and runs the times matters not, I dont think any of us have said sr20 is a better n/a engine than a k20. So why is everyone becoming so defensive? Making a car go fast costs money, it doesnt matter what sort, theyre all expensive. My point is, the modded sr20 is probably similar in price to a stockish k20a. Like you can buy a ferrari or modify a gtr to be as fast, the GTR will still probably end up much cheaper. If you dont care about the image what does it matter?Quote:

I have a lot of respect for the K20A powered Hondas and for that matter JDMYARD. I just wish I had a chance to go head2head against the EG.
Hopefully, the ALL MOTOR FWD drag racing will become a little more exciting this year if BADHBT and SR22VE can have a little head2head racing...

stock jdm k20 with just I/H/E + ecu vs modded sr
BADHBT: stock internals untouched motor VS a tomei crate sr
do you think this is fair to do a head to head race ?
* Big thumbs up for u for doin all that mods , it will be interesting to see how it goes down the 1/4mile*
hey that would be pretty sweet running a crate sr20 tomei engine, congrats to getting it and im sure it would be a lethal engine.
Unfortunatly i dont agree about saying that the sr20 tomei engine and the k20a engine is a fair match. The K20A has alot of r&d by honda to create a powerful n/a engine but when it comes to modifying the engine, alot of the principals of the r&d from honda are thrown out the window because of the fact that there are aftermarket parts being matched with OEM parts.
A tomei crate motor on the other hand is an sr20 from nissan that is carefully scrutinised using even more r&d to further make a better engine. Tomei would be able to carefully design aftermarket parts that would excel further then oem parts but everything is changed in the entire engine so that everything works in harmony.
In a nutshell any sort of crate motors arent normally modified too much because of this balance and how everything works so well due to the r&d of the company and the amount of cash invested.
So thats why a sr20 crate motor from tomei isnt a fair competitor to a "street" tuned K20 engine. just like a home made plane wouldnt fly as well as a plane that has gone through extensive r&d.
Hope that gives some scope.
Tomei only make SR20DE or SR22DE crate motors.
My engine is a SR22VE and was built in Australia, using the Tomei crank, main bearings and thin head gasket + the recent addition of the Tomei ITB's. Japanese designed and built camshafts as nobody in Australia had the ability to make one for a VE head.
If the cardomain logo was not in the way, you would notice that the SR20DE Derive Stage 3 makes over 250Hp@7000rpm! With the SR22VE making peak power@9600rpm, is my power output still in doubt?
