SR20det prices

[mk1sr20]

i"m looking at fitting a sr20det into my mk1 escort,it's already got a sr20de fited but more power is needed. 14.3 sec 1/4 is not fast enough

[zeroyon]

Why not turbo the DE thats in there.

I have seen your engine bay and its tight as it is. So I would suspect a custom exhaust manifold would be required anyways.

To do an NA to turbo conversion your looking sub 1K usually. An sr20det is usually $2500ish.

People are making up to 250rwhp with a turbo'd NA and mate that much power in your car ... would be scary as !!!

As you already have an aftermarket ECU just fit the turbo and bigger injectors to what you have.

275rwhp with a turbo'd NA *looks at JILTED*

[mek]

lots more torque than a proper DET apparently

[mk1sr20]

when i got it dynod i asked about turboing the de and they said it would cost up to $4500 because i'm still running a standard computer.

[zeroyon]

Even if you have a STD computer. You can get it rommed. IT cost's very little.

I including romming in my estimate under 1k :)

[mk1sr20]

that sounds good i might have to start looking around for some one to do the conversion

[SST Steve]

Sorry i was thinking it was another Escort that came in with aftermarket ECU and SR.

[magic1]

is this the yellow car?
thats fast for a 30 year old chassis.

[mk1sr20]

yer it's yellow but it needs some panel work and i mite even change the colour.I've only had it for about 4 months.

[mk1sr20]

i mite go to sst 4 a quote in a few weeks but 1st i'll have 2 fix my blown diff/snapd axle

Really good source of information (http://www.silviawa.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=6277) <--- url to info :)

Hey dude, I have turbo'd my sr20de with success, have had it going for just under 30,000kms on boost now running 275.7rwhp @ 1.2bar

I have a bikirom (a ROM that modifieds the standard ECU) which in my opnion was the best path to take because first of all the price is alot cheaper then aftermarket ECU's, plus it means you dont have to get everything rewired and have problems with cold start etc as you do with other aftermarket ECU's.

All you need is a few fittings and lines, and you can use alot of stock turbo parts which you can get mostly for free.

If you want to come checkout how i did mine just send us a email - ryan@silviawa.com, happy to help

[SST Steve]

Plugin ECUs work fine in your appication.
Keep in mind some info you read on forums is misleading as ppls opinions are based on personal aggendas not fact.

[Little Erve]

Isn't the SR20DE 10:1 CR? and he's running 1.2bar on that? no wonder he's making power.

[munchmunch]

Find a new mechanic, one that actually knows what hes on about

[upgarage]

also id sort out a diff conversion if your snapping axles with the DE

[mk1sr20]

i didnt snap an axle but i blow my spider gears to bits i went to Race tune they quoted me $1700 for a lsd center, i'm think'n of locking it

[upgarage]

yeah 1700 is steep
just weld it or see if u can get a spool

[mk1sr20]

spooling it is also an option,i just have to find some were that has spools 4 a escort diff

[mk1sr20]

won't be turbo'n escort to expesive
