i assume since its an S14 it has the black top SR20det....i'm wondering what the stock engine potential is on 92 octane.....

i don't know much about Nissan's yet, but i'm just wondering. I've kinda been looking at them for a while.....different 240's w/ SR swaps, but most of them are stock and put down like 220hp or so, but i'm wondering what their potential is w/ a new turbo, mani, and exhaust....

thanks for the help........

If you have the bills, you can make like 800whp. And "putting down" means power at the wheels, stock S13-S14 SRs don't make over 200hp at the wheels.

well s13's in aus pull about 100-120 kilowatt stock thats about 134 - 160 hp same with 180sx's, so s14's should hav a little bit more than that ,whats the difference with red top and black top sr20's??
[Reply]

you can just search that...it was even disscussed maybe 2 weeks ago...

54c internals did 600whp+. NO idea what peak torque was on that tho.

Redtop and black top S13 SRs have minor differences, but same power output, the S14 and S15 blacktops, or notchtops because o fthe variable valve timing hump on the valve cover, put out more horsepower.

so would it be good if when i got off my p's and i can get a turboed car buy a ca18det for about 8k then buy a s15 motor (or maybe s16 by then????) and do an engine swap????

No, you should.

1. Learn how to drive properly.
2. Buy a 180SX with the SR20DET in it already.
3. Put simple mods on it.
4. Relearn how to drive properly.
5. Learn how to drive on a race track.
6. Get more power.
7. Try to not kill yourself.

Hopefully by the time you get to step 2 you will be about 19 - 20 yrs. old and understand the real world.

On pump gas you won't go over 400whp. You'd be looking at about 350 - 380whp tops.

You don't need any more power than that to do anything.

Of course this is down the road when you have a real setup.

Well thanks for another lecture (got enuf of that back in my 180sx thread) yea by step 2 i will be around 19,
1. do that in my s13 on my p's
2. in that case will save enuff for 96 model
3. simple as in, exhaust, cams, metal headgasket, intake etc???
4. will do
5. will do
6. will do
7. will do

thnx for advice.

That's what i needed....thanks a lot....
[Reply]

No....

The Rhombus tuning car was doing 500whp+ on pump gas... T66

With water injection or alcohol injection, more power on pump gas is attainable...
[Reply]

even better to hear.....i think if i get one, i wouldn't push more than 300-350 anyway.......i found out the one i was looking at had the KA24DE.....so Cory, what do you make on your set up....approx.?
[Reply]

No idea.....

Trapping 110 on a stock weight S13 usually means 290-300whp...
[Reply]

Yeah, i was gonna guess a bit more but that is damn fast IMO.. Do alot of freeway racing with that late spool?
