Its a matter of what you want to spend and the amount of time you have to do it.fatboyz921 said:Hey b-b00gie thanks for the info. From what I what read on AF I was lead to believe that a DET would be better, but you know more then I do so. I have a question then why do people put DET's in their car? Is it just a personal opinion on what you think is better a DET or strapping a turbo to a DE. If it's an extra cost why do people go that route. Sorry for not knowing what I was talking about.
Actually, there is only one (Nissan). There are several who import used examples however.fatboyz921 said:There are many different companies that make sr20det's.
Well, I not only personally know of three turbo SR20DEs that have made over 400 hp to the wheels and have ridden in two of them.fatboyz921 said:I personally think that a sr20det is better because it comes with different internals that are made for a turbo engine. You can get a lot more horsepower out off an sr20det then strapping on a turbo to a sr20de.
Probably just a bit. But, dollar per hp, a turbo SR20DE is going to get you much farther with pretty much the same reliability.fatboyz921 said:This is just my personal opinion. Correct me if I'm wrong but can't a sr20det make more horsepower than a sr20de with a turbo.
Which is not bad by any means. Once you start getting over 250whp things get a little crazy. Stupid crazy wheel spin in first and second. Rolling 3rd gear brun outs. I took a ride in a turbo'd Sentra SE 2.0 with about 230hp and it was plenty quick enough to put a HUGE grin on my face.b-b00gie said:For $2700 you could probably put together something that will lay down about 190~195whp.
Well, that's up to you, but it certainly can be easily (relatively speaking) done.bigbungy said:so basically, save up 3 gs, and go for it?
Why wouldnt you just go for a SR20VE if you are going for 190-195 horses?? Wasn't/Isn't Andreas Miko selling those for 2400? You get the same horses, and save yourself some cash.b-b00gie said:
The most cost effective option would be to use all the turbo parts of a Bluebird DET. For $2700 you could probably put together something that will lay down about 190~195whp.
Right but as long as you'll be happy at that level or a little bit above that. If you plan on more, like going up to about 300whp you can still pick up the pieces over time to reach that goal. If you want serious hp from the VE you're still back at square one sourcing out some more turbo bits. :-\Slickkedar said:

Has anyone dyno'd a stock one yet? I'd like to see the charts.b-b00gie said:The VE will give you about 175whp, which is about 20whp less than slapping on the DET turbo parts.
