My Sr20 Build - Pics Inside


Recommended Posts

Thought I would throw up a few pics of my completed SR20 build - no dyno yet (finished at midnight last night).

Interesting bits:

Full-Race Twin Scroll mani with twin gates

3071 with .78 divided ex housing

Hypertune Intake

1000 cc Sards

Autronic

Forged and Darton Sleeved Bottom End

JHH Engineering Head with larger Super Tech inconel ex valves

Tomie 260/260 12mm lift pro cams

Pic of the gates before the dump tube went on - these actually merge back into the main exhaust.

Damn sweet looking setup. Cant wait to see a power figure. As much as im enjoying my 26 i miss my SR's...

Why the twin gates?

The manifold and turbo exhaust housing is divided (i.e. twin scroll). On a SR20 this means cylinder exhaust manifold runners 1 and 4 are paired off and completely and separately to 3 and 4 right up to the exhaust wheel.

Because they are paired off each pair of cylinder runners has its on gate. Whilst it is possible to use a twin gate tubes merge into a single gate - there is a cetain amount of exhaust gas pressure leakage from one gate tube to another in the exhaust manifold as it is not possible to create a perfect seal between the two gate tubes at the merge point just before entry into the single gate.

with a setup that well designed for boost control, I would have thought you would have optioned for at least a GT3076 (6 blade version) ?? Not knocking it, but that turbo will produce sub 300rwkw outputs, but a good mid range.

Just think thats a bit of an overkill for hte powerlevel you are going to achieve.

Well done none the less, don't take my comments as slander, just more curiosity.

No offense taken. I actually did consider the 3076 but Geoff Raicer from Full-Race convinced me otherwise and advised me this setup will acheive quicker lap times on a short circuit like Barbagello in Perth where I live. I seemed to get the impression from him that the slight loss in transient response wasn't worth the extra hp gain the 3076 would give.

In any case, I wasn't chasing any certain power level more a case of the best transient response and area under the curve.

awesome setup, good components with a well thought out plan ad application. So often i get cars dropped off that are based on the hp rating of the turbo and not the application.

We did a S15 earlier this year to achieve similar things (you probably know athid) decent plenum, decent turbo setup, cooler ecu etc and well it produced the craziest curve and torque i have ever seen outta a SR20, i cant wait to see your dyno grpah as im sure they will be very close.

here is athids;

Yes Trent it will be interesting to see how it compares to the single scroll stuff. Can't wait to get it on a dyno, tune and run it in.

i reckon your a winner for sure, beau's setup on the beams engine sure aint a slouch :P

Quick update

Had the car on the dyno yesterday.......ambient temp was 43 degrees and high humidity here in Perth so it was working hard......anyway at 17 psi the Hypertune intake manifold split open.

Couldn't see it (or hear it) at first but couldn't get the car to idle at less than 3000rpm so we new we had a leak after the throttle body as we checked all hoses etc.

Pulled it off last night and the intake had gashed open where the idle control valve outlet is (which is underneath the manifold). Would have thought these manifolds could have handled alot more boost.

Anyway will weld it up and put it back on the dyno..........with more boost.......hopefully.

    • that's pretty good condition, those chips are nothing. Get a mobile repairer to sort it out. Nice wheels, I had white 17's on my GT-R once, looked nice.
    • Found a car that has kiki desing wheels on it with diffrent plates that match a 2008 model when clearly it's not white  
    • Howdy friends, So this evening I had a need to remove the rear compressor turbo pipe (long story, but I'm replacing it due to a bolt snapping off in the pipe and managing to then snap an extraction bit in the broken bolt, fun times -_-). The rear bolt is a bit of a bastard and very little room to get good leverage. I was able to get a 12 mm socket onto the bolt head, but none of my ratchets were able to fit, so I put together a "stubby" socket wrench to get it out and it worked surprisingly well 🙂. In the past I've "made" tools by cutting down spanners and bending them with a torch etc, but this 3D printed wrench was way less effort. I'll be keeping this one in my "special tool draw" from now on for sure ^_^b https://www.printables.com/model/868973-half-inch-stubby-socket-wrench
    • It looks even better in Person 
    • It's good, but not as good as some people make it out to be on social media. Yes, you can feel the torque come in earlier, yes, it does make the car feel more lively below 4000rpm, and yes, it does feel more responsive, but it's not this 'unicorn' mod.  Everyday driving? Below 100km/h on Australian roads, it's worth it. At 110km in 6th gear mine will sit on about 2860rpm. Doing a Motorkhana or a small circuit? Yes, it's worth it. Doing Texas style speed runs? Prob not. Do you use the gears more? Yes and No. Doing 60/70km on most roads, I'm using the gears just like any other Getrag. 80km and above, you use 5th and 6th more often. Absolutely no issues driving with the 33 A-LSD. Didn't change the front diff, only changed the C&P wheel. Some people say to upgrade to a Quaife etc, but i've had no issue with torque steer or having it wander all over the road. The one thing that no-one really addresses is the issue of the Speedo being out. It's either use a speedo corrector, find a 33 gearbox speed sensor, or use an aftermarket display with GPS speedo.
