For that matter, go with an SR20DET - 200hp stock, with lots more potential.
Trouble is, this engine is only found on Japanese cars in a rear wheel drive
configuration. Same with the SR20DE. Sylvias and 180sx's. Front wheel drive
versions can be found here on the Sentra SE-R and Infiniti G-20, I believe.
Japanese engine importers typically have quite a few of these engines, so
it's only a matter of $ to get one. The turbo is the engine I am planning on
putting in my roadster. Can you say 10lbs/hp? I knew that you could... :-)
