Hey Crew,

At the moment i am running a stock s14 setup with Tomei 256 11.5 lift cams and random front mount intercooler. Just looking at advice for turbo, injectors, coil pack, ecu, manifold, cooling, fuel pump ect to make a reliable 300kw street/track SR20det with stock gearbox/axles/diff. Don't mind spending a bit extra on parts if it extends the life of the engine and i don't like cheap shit. Will do all the work myself as i have a decent mechanical knowledge. comments, list of parts all welcome. Engine has around 200k on it and never been flogged granny spec when purchased. 

 

cheers fellas

Do you have a 2nd SR20? Because you did say 'reliable' and 300kw, and 200k on it.

The smart answer is be happy with the T28 and make 200kw or thereabouts and enjoy it.

There's so many options for all of those categories and any of them will work.

I.e Injectors: Any of them bosch based, thousands to choose from
Fuel Pump: Anything Walbro (525 or whatever they are up to) - Make sure your wiring is up to the task, it will need upgrades.
Cooling: Any FMIC will work of any decent brand. Some fabricators can avoid cutting up your battery tray and going through the kframe instead. Worth asking.
Coil pack: R35 conversion kits are all the rage. Yaris coils less so. Could do new OEM (cheap) or Splitfires (OEM). Just get used to misfires on a SR20 basically.

Stock gearbox? Will it take 300kw - I know the S15 6 speed doesn't - I don't know about the S14.
RB25 gearbox is common upgrade. 370z CD009 boxes as well. 

Turbo - G25 550 if you really only want 300kw. Go external gate.
Manifold? Anything that suits that. Surely 6 boost has something. Surely Full Race has something if you truly don't mind spending extra. Smaller is better because lines and clearances to them not melting will make you sad otherwise.

ECU - Anything that the tuner can tune. Tune it yourself I say, because no tuner gets everything 100% - Noone pays the hours to get everything perfect.


Why do you want 300kw? Have you done 100 track days and want to knock 1-2s off by upping the power?
No? Just want clout somewhere? Cheapest way is to not mod a car and photoshop up a dyno graph. Will be happier.

You won't get much change from 20K for this. And then your engine will explode.
Sell the S14 while COVID Prices are high, this is the smart answer if you want a fast, well performing, reliable car - The cash the sale gets you is the fastest and easiest way to get it.

anything over 250kw and driving aggressively will kill a sr20 gearbox. 

coming from someone who has had a 200000km sr20. 220-230kw is all that is needed for a very competent track car- gtx2867, 1300cc injectors, taarks fuel rail, aeroflow fuel reg, Nistune with r35 MAF or Link plugin ecu, Walbro 460 (with correct wire size & relay). Standard manifolds, 3 inch exhaust and a generic intercooler, quality radiator, NPC RB conversion clutch.
Spend the rest on whitelines bushes, mca coilovers, quality brake pads & rotors, decent tyres & enjoy reliable fun track days.

This is my latest sr20 setup


go towards the bottom for dyno chart on a conservative 16-17psi on old motor

Hey fellas, 

Both good points, 300kw was probably a bit of a overbite for the old S14 so looks like I will go with less power. Probs just get a link ecu, run it on E85, upgrade the fuel pump and injectors/coils and maybe a slightly bigger turbo. Plus a decent clutch.

      You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.

      Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?

      So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch

      It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.

      As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
