Sr20 Gt-r?

[sr20_gts-4]

Has there ever been an sr20 powered gtr?

I'm a little confused as to why no japanese tuners have ever done this, as i think an rb26 is a disadvantage especially on a track like tsukuba.

Imagine the m-speed r34 gt-r with a stroked sr20.. it would be much lighter, and i'm sure it would produce more low down grunt then an rb26, especially seeing as tho the car would be much lighter.

hell you could even use an sr20ve head to make a broader, higher revving power-band.

and if that wasnt enough you could add a roots supercharger to help the turbo spool up faster..

hks and bee-r have made kits.

whats your thoughts?

there have been many sr20 skylines.

specifically GTRs not too sure

Why would you bother? Just spend the time and effort getting a silvia to handle better. Or better yet put the sr20 into a lighter car rather than a heavier one. Makes more sense to me...

[burkill]

yea you be putting a smaller engine into a bigger car.

i guess it would be cool though.

Tuning garage "Signal" in Japan put a SR20DET in a R35(V35) for pure drift setup.

I was assuming the VQ35DE was a tad peaky when drifting and spun a lot more as opposed to the SR20DET which is most popular amounst drifter...

Just guessing.

Problem with that is you'd have to mate the block to a front diff.

This would be an absolute nightmare!

I too toyed with the idea of an SR in a 32 but its simply not worth it. An SR in an S13 is fine, its a light engine in a light chassis.

Skylines need the enxtra torque from a 6 banger and cc's from 25's & 26's. They are a fair bit heavier. A GTR weighs what? 1400kg?

Yes there is more weight but you need the extra poke and torque from an RB. You would have to spend a little money on an SR to keep up with a RB26.

An SR in a stripped 32 is a different story.

Thats just my veiws on it..

yehh some good points.

an s15 with 275's should cope putting the power to the ground with a set up like that.

you can achieve better weight distribution by putting a SR into a r32. the engine bay is designed for a inline 6 so the front axles sit further from the firewall (or the firewall sits further back from the front axles, whichever way you want to put it). so by using the sr20, you get the advantage of almost a mid engined car as most of the engine sits behind the front axle.

yes the gtr is a 1400kg car, but only because of the heavy 4wd system and the iron block inline 6. drop a alloy block sr20 and ditching the 4wd system, you could get the weight right down.

the sr20 has had a lot of development as well and big useable power can be obtained.

[bubba]

If you ditch the 4wd, why not just start with a 32 gtst? sr20 into 32gtst has been done many a time.

[GTS4WD]

^^^^

Exactly my point.

If you drop an SR into a GTR your going to get a lighter but slower GTR.

Drop ATTESSA and you get a nice, light and balanced 32 GTST

[syfon]

I have seen 3 R32's with an sr20, 2jz and vq35 engine.....

[clip14]

dropping the attessa is definitely a reason to just go for the gtst in the first place

but if you're a race team and have the budget for it, the increased front and rear track, plus factory chassis strengthening might be enough to start with a gtr base instead of a gtst base
