Guest 280ZXSR20-DET Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 Do you think a SR20-DET will swap pretty easy into a 280Z. The engine will be modified but I was wonder what people would think about the swap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest 280ZXSR20-DET Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 Does anyone have suggestions to what I should swap into the car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SR240Z Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 we have an sr20det in our 240z and it runs awesome. Ours is highly modified, has forged internals and built headwork. You will need custom motor and tranny mounts though also. Let me know what else you need to know. i have lots of info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 280ZXSR20-DET Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 Ya I was looking at your SR20det and it looks great, I am wondering what kind of power your putting down with your mods and if you have dragged the car what is your quarter mile time. Also how does it feel compared to the L28. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SR240Z Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 right now at 7psi the car is putting down about 275whp. After the break in of the new internals its going to be at about 400whp. The car is not meant for drag racing but once its tuned at high boost we are going to make a few runs just to see how its doing. To me the sr20det compared to the l28et is a big difference, you can feel how much easier it is to rev the motor all the way out with no hassle.

HeatRaveR Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 I was also interested in an SR20 swap in my 280ZX, but I was concerned about being sluggish off the line, since I know the torque won't be the same. Speaking of the mounting, did you weld something new to the frame rails, or did you attach something to the existing mounts on the frame rails to move the engine farther back?

SR240Z Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 we welded new mounts to the frame rails so that it is about 1/4" from the firewall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 280ZXSR20-DET Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 I was also concerned about the weight, but my 280ZX has no power options and I am leaving the interior out of my car. I am just putting in buckets a dash and door panels. Also I have the non-turbo model so it is all ready pretty slugish. The SR20-DET is all aluminum and is much lighter than the Iron block L28. So the weight should be reduced with the SR20. Also I was wonder what kind of forged internals you put into your SR20. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeatRaveR Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 I would suppose you'd have any up-close pics of the mounts would ya? ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 100% stock sr20det has something like 33% more torque than the stock L28 your used to. L28's aren't exactly torque monsters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SR240Z Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 we are running JE custom forged pistons at 8.5:1 compression. Shot pinged and polished rods, balanced and polished crank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 280ZXSR20-DET Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 I have one other question about electrical was it difficult or was it pretty straight forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
violacleff Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 A 100% stock sr20det has something like 33% more torque than the stock L28 your used to. L28's aren't exactly torque monsters. Is that on or off boost? I'm just wondering if the newer turbos on an sr20 would be more efficient than the t3 on a stock l28? BTW the wiring on the sr20z is a stand alone ems. But alex can tell you how hard or easy it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SR240Z Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 the electrical is pretty straight forward if you can get your hands on a wire diagram. for the sr20 they are all over the net so its not too hard to get one. with the standalone there are way less wires to worry about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 280ZXSR20-DET Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 I also was wondering were you would find and english copy of the service manual for the SR20-DET Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 http://www.zeroyon.com Thats my website, click on Tech and follow the link to Service Manuals. As far as an SR powered car being sluggish off the line.... heh heh.. my old 180sx had 395rwhp, 362ft/lbs of torque... Rev it and drop, and that sucker ripped. Just to give you an idea, here's a video of my old car on the short track: http://66.194.152.253/~videof6/features/hugh/1bad180sxVSskylineGTR.mpg Bear in mind, that car was clearing nearly 3000 pounds with me in it.

Hugh Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 This will give you a good idea of the sort of fun I had with my SR: http://66.194.152.253/~videof6/features/hugh/zeroyonSep03-linelock.mpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
