MotoIQ would not exist if it wasn't for the Nissan SR20DE engine and the 1990's cars the founders of the company drove when they met over 20 years ago! In this video Mike shows you the way we would build one of these engines today!

This guy's knowledge and ability to explain these builds is so fascinating. It's not just "build with this" but "why" for every little aspect. Every little detail on the piston even as to why it's important.

@Datsun510zen Год назад

I've been running an s13 SR20DET in my auto-x Datsun 510 that's been making a reliable 374 whp on e85 for nearly a decade. The bottom end is all stock rebuild with a Greddy oil pan. The high port head was decked, ports are polished and matched to manis, stock guides valves, and retainers with mild Tomei cams and two stage springs. 22psi from a GT-X2867R on a log mani. 50K + miles on it and it's running as strong as the day we fired it up. I'm an SR20 fanboy and proud of it.

@joseg.4626 4 месяца назад

What rod and main bearings did you end up using? Bi metal tri metal? Considering building up my Sr but wasn’t sure which route to go with

@Datsun510zen 4 месяца назад

@@joseg.4626 Really depends on what your power goals are and how it'll be used. I'm not making a ridiculous amount of HP so new stock replacement rods and pistons with King bearings are more than enough handle it. Also had the crank magnifuxed rebalanced. For track use, it's important to have a large capacity oil pan with internal trapdoor surge tank for the pickup. That said, Eagle rods and pistons are a worthy upgrade for up wards of 500+ HP.

@OleUnreliable Год назад

I wish I had this video years ago when I tried to assemble an sr20det for drifting. I swapped the cams for bc264s with their springs and retainers. The engine ran fine until it spit a rocker and dropped a valve destroying the engine. I always felt the ras had a big part in the dropped valve. Now i'm soaking up all the info possible, since i'm almost done collecting parts for the top to bottom rebuild. Great content, i'm glad I found this channel.

@mjjjj_8780 21 день назад

Sitting on or bouncing off the limiter usually drops the rocker arms on SRs, bee r limiter or ecu limiting the rpm works well, rocker arms are also useless as they can get the rocker arm stuck and destroy your cam and head, but you could also get an sr20ve head that avoids all this

@motoiq Год назад

For turbos they work pretty good. For NA a lot less bottom end and a little more on top.

@AdamNZ Год назад

Honestly to build a bulletproof SR20DET you should focus doing the dual valve guide conversion even tomei solid lifters, using beehive valve springs not dual spring, using a SR20VE oil pump and getting the block oil galleries grooved. I wouldn’t recommend using the rocker arm stoppers. They cause damage still. If you have the supporting mods like fmic, 1000cc injectors, 3 inch exhaust, turbo, wastegate, poncams, ecu ect you’ll have a nice 400HP engine. Or just fit a SR20VE head and you’ll have 500HP.

@@motoiq also when you build a vct motor and want to retain the vct, you need to run a spring with less then 70ish lbs of seat pressure, im using supertech singles. Double valve springs will kill the vct and make it rattle.

All stock period until we can confirm that the Mazworks studs fully bottom. We will use them in our next build. When studding you will probably need to align hone.
