Thread: a 240SX SR20VE-T from Germany

>>Herzlichen Glückwunsch! Ich möchte Ihr Auto. >> haha, ich tausche gegen eine ZR1 Corvette :-)

tomorrow it will be on the dyno with the current 18psi map.....i expect 370 crank hp

i will take a photo of the engine bay tomorrow

yes i have a s14 chassis with a s14det bottom end, in theory the the CAS would clear by a fraction but then you cannot get the motor in/out of the car....
long time ago mazworx posted here some pics of a street tune s13 project and there they also cut the fire wall, it was a hard time when i had to cut my rust free, best condition, super nice street s14 :-(

It does suck to cut into the firewall, but you could have a box welded in to help things. I've seen people make a tunnel by the CAS so everything clears.

thats exactly what i (my mechanic) has done, kind of a tunnel.... after repaint it almost looks like nissan stock :-)

381 Crank-HP (DIN 70020) @~18psi

(Dyno was a MAHA LPS3000. One pull to revlimiter lasts nearly a minute i think (the dyno simulates some heavy load). Its a nightmare for every engine. But it's a good indicator how durable a setup is (knock, egt, ...) i think.)

I'd be scared to ring my engine out like that lol. Where did you peak hp come out too 7200?

"ronny" is one of the three guys that helped me allot with the project:

here is the dynosheet:
the fuel was on the very rich side (high 10th), next time i will go a little leaner.

between 3500 and 5500 rpm the dyno had slight wheelspin issues leading to unstable measurements, but above 5500 the run was clean and the torque very flat.

yeah, we got same dyno here and its not good for engine, it revs so slow...

and here with 14psi, also very rich fueling:
also whellspin issues between 4000 and 5000.

man, that is some good power for 18psi. Great powerband. Are these flywheel numbers or whp numbers? I'd say with what you have and your video you have to be close to that 380whp.

nice results. Keep us posted.

thanks for the nice feedback

only bad point is the low torque numbers, with a DET with same max power i have 18% more torque. I think my short runner intake plenum is the reason. I would like HKS or Greddy to build a good intake-manifold for the sr20VE-T RWD. But i am afraid i cannot convince them :-(

its flywheelhorsepower, in germany it is common to measure power and loss and then calculate the flywheel horsepower. With mordern dynos the accuracy is 2-3%

today i will take a photo of the engine bay
