SR20DET Swap
- Thread starter n3ovvl
- Start date
The reason is that the SR20DET from factory is not compatible with the FWD gearboxes. So, people here have taken an SR20DE from an Almera GTi or Almera Tino and then added a turbo themselves so an SR20DE+T. One great example of this on the N16 is http://almeraownersclub.com/threads/n16-sr20de.39995/page-52Liam's
Sweet,
Thats a nice build! very interesting.
But wouldn't the gearbox from the FWD SR20DE bolt right on to the SR20DET?
Or would that cause problems?
I owned a nissan bluebird u13 previously. it had an SR18DE originally, but i later swapped it for an SR20VE with a few mods.
now i've moved on to a the Almera N16 and i'm loving it.

Yes. It can handle the power. The most popular gearbox for this is the p11-144 which has a stronger third gear. Standard power of the SR20DET is 227hp and many have gone above this with their SR20DE+T builds
hmmm... interesting. are there any available turbo kits for the SR20DE?
or are they custom built??
which ECU do you guys recomend for a project like this?
and if so i guess you will not be able to use the standard drive shaft either.
Would the engine need to be forged for a turbo kit or are the engine internals strong enough?
I have so many questions
Maybe it will be easier if there was a post like this before?

No a standard gti box can only handle low power setups. 3rd gear fails and will fail, when is anyone's guess though.
The primera 144 gearbox is the strongest available but even these can fail.
As for a turbo kit there are no off the shelf options.
Get a cheap gtir intercooler setup from eBay all the pipework can be made to fit, get a gtir manifold and turbo then look to get a custom elbow and downpipe made as the stock items are no good.
Stock engines can handle 300hp happily as long as the map is safe.
A greddy emanage blue will do the job simply enough.
