thanks for the input mate but im looking into the future with the sr20de and would look at heavily working it as a n/a, i was thinking of using the autech s15 sr20de but im thinking it might take too bigger chunk out of the wallet at this point.
revhead001,
No one is "DICTATING".I understand what your saying as the topic title is asking on what his engine is worth.But upon reading the thread,i'm under the impression he wants or intends to build a heavily worked Naturally Aspirated motor for his 1200 not a Turbo engine.
He is already bored with the a14 because he used to own an fj20 1600 so looking for something fast but NA.Some of us are simply advising him to start with a better base engine as its more cost effective in the long run.It would be more expensive to modify a non-turbo sr20de/ca18de to the levels of a dead stock NA 240bhp f20c which would be more reliable,drivable,last longer etc as its stock.
Its an opinion given, not forced upon.
D,
Im comparing Non turbo 4 cylinder engines under 2000cc. a 240bhp dead stock f20c engine with loom,ecu and 6 speed gearbox is cheap for what it accomplishes at aud $5000k .
I say we move over to the engines for dattos thread??
cheers
