Sr20det Into R33 Gtst?

[lsf_bootz]

hi i know im gunna cop alot of sh*t for asking this but has any1 done this? i know the sr is a 4cyl but the parts are alot cheapa and you could get sum good figures if not more than on 25 for half the amount. I"m not thinkin of doin this just curious. Cheers

Sounds kinda like the 3SGTE Supra on Hi-Octane... lots of dollars tho and they did it for weight distribution reasons. Its not a good idea for $$$ reasons if thats what you are thinking. The conversion would be soooo expensive, you might as well make the RB tougher.

sr20 in an R33 is like taking an 18" rim and modifying it to become a 15" rim...

why?

no, really, why?

cheaper parts? no

more power? no

[GreddyGo]

on nissansilvia.com there is someone who has put an sr into a R32.

The SR isn't as smooth and your RB but it will give you a punch in the back that an RB will never do!

You would get more power out of it if it stayed in the S13. R33's weigh a lot more and it would be a stupid conversion.

[krzysiu]

I can understand someone putting in a SR20DET is an R32 as it is a much better engine than the RB20DET but replacing the RB25DET? LOL Stupid idea.

[GreddyGo]

I wouldn't change over a rb25 r33 but definately an option for a r32 with an rb20 though!

Cheers

the way skyline parts are going, it isn't really a cheaper option.

sr into r32, definate yes.

sr into r33, definate no, unless the sr had serious work done to it.

[R31Nismoid]

i fail to see how parts are cheaper... save for injectors as you need 4 instead of 6

other than that.. im stumped

[mad082]

and spark plugs and coils. but you probably have to pay just as much for some stuff, and you only get 4 instead of 6.

[julion]

Id say you could put the sr20 into an r32 and see improvement, but not an r33.

yeh i know i just joined the bandwagon

Off topic,

Though i think Top Secret picked the 4 cyl to mimic JGTC rules, in which you can run higher boost.. - i think.

also the r32's and s13's are alot similar in weight.. wereas the r33 has more weight.. so i wouldnt consider it worth it

[scathing]

You have an extra half a litre of displacement and a cast iron block. I'd say you've got a good chance of getting more bang for your buck with the RB25 than the SR20.

It might cost a bit less to maintain, but considering no-one does this conversion all your bits will have to be custom....which will cost you a fair amount. Your TCO will inevitably be higher.

As everyone else has said, unless you're prepping the car for motorsport and you want to weight balance gains (and perhaps rules on engine displacement may affect you) I can't see a gain.

[Busky2k]

Nah the SR20 will have such a hard time in a heavy body, especially if you get the old S13 Red top with no NVCS (variable valve timing) which'll make off boost torque even worse. The good thing is that aftermarket parts are everywhere, but I'd still take the RB25 anyday. Hell I'd love to try a RB25 in my S chassis!!

[rb26s13]

rb + s chassis = king!!

[shnaped_second]

A guy got ADD to put a ShitRod in a R34 4 door, http://www.nissansilvia.com/forums/SR-20-D...or-t187299.html not to many ppl are keen on it lol

[Roy]

LOL, everyone hanging sh1t on the RB20. I can see why you would want to do it....but not for a road car.

[Kaido_RR]

DO IT!

and put a v-mount in it

[predator]

keep waving that flag roy..
