v8 vs sr20

[Val]

to those of you who dont know..there's a special sr engine..which clocks abt 270 HP...that in a light shell will do wonders..i want that engine

most japanese cars come with a standard...they cant be produced over 300horses.
but they're super upgradable

and as far as i see it..weight isnt that big of an issue but the V8 takes the checkered flag

de man say SR20DET not SR20VET

[turbofied]

u think sr20 fast

take a look at halltech gm powah

note it goes gm, mopar, ford

[Picasso]

throw the same money at both engines and the V8 would come out on top,

Yes sad but true I love you SR20

[RASC]

1. there are no usdm silvias, you mean a 240sx, with a sr20det swap

2. what type of tyres was the 240sx running?

3. what year camaro?

4. distance of the run where you saw the camaro being beat? (guesstimate would be cool)

and there are allot more... i am looking for greaser or black bombers post about them hitting 12.9 witha stock SR and stock turbo, only intercooler and exhasut and good driving and tires of course

[turbo master]

i talkin factory stock..factory tyres everything..d muscle cars have done 13s on the 1/4...n for the sr's..no..with mods..

[Val]

Well then you can't really compare them, cause American muscle cars would've run on American tracks (unless you find a pristine condition stock muscle car to run in Wallerfield).

SR20DET stock 200sx's never came in the States afaik, I could be wrong eh. So you'd have to fly one up to the states to run on their track.

You can't compare times on two different tracks (different set up, different climate).

But I think the 350 V8 would outrun the SR20DET Sylvia though, IMO. But I'd rather own the Sylvia anyday.

[Bezman]

allot (if not all) of the cars i posted ran on street tires, stock ECU etc etc just air filters abd exhaust and some with intercoolers.. factory OEM times from Nissan are between 15.0-14.6 depending on driver and magazine/source you check and thats a stock 220hp 2500llb car, those yankee v8's are stock 400+hp 3500lb cars (all those 68+ camaros, mustangs, firebirds, corvettes etc and are HUGE displacement big blocks).. there is such a thing as 'power to weight ratio' and in drag racing it is one of the bigger if not the biggest concern of teams etc.. 1000hp 3400lb car will be worthless and loose poorly against a 1000hp 2500lb car..

as ai said earlier in the thread, the V8 should be able to win easily depending on year and trim etc..

[turbo master]

exactly..so i was wonderin what u were quoting before rs..cuz iz like changing exhaust n IC n all that..is NOT stock..u have a stock IC n aftermarket IC..so yea..that's not stock

[Bezman]

i swear you cant read bro....

[southside connections]

what bout a rb26-32

[horsepwrjunki]

brant hush....


jed in displacement to the end but u hadda pick ur battles.. a stock sr20det in a s13 wil not beat a zo6 350 ci auto vette.. now a olde 350ci push rod carbi that coem s in teh older camaros.. yep.. techology is a b!tch not to metnion the sr is forced induction.. then u start talkin about liek what rs200 talkin bout.. wieght.. engine for engine a ls-1 v8 is easily twice the weight of the sr20 det so even in the same vehicle the v8 is heavier.. now i thin the sr does soemthign liek 300 hp stock and the ls-1 in zo6 trim does 400..not so . the n u have power train losses , traction issuse b/c im almost cearin the v8 has a higher ftlb... not puting down the lil 4 banggers i love what they can do for there size.. but.. throw that tech behind the 6's 8' or 10 look at bmw for example. thier vanos 3.* stragit six i think puts out 250* at the crank or somthign so.. chip upgrade alone can bring that to over 300hp.. turbo at 3 psi.. 400 no probs.. u get where im coming from.. the linginfelter c5's twin turbo the ls-1 engine.. and put out easily 6-700hp at soemthing like 8psi.. i'll probaly have to go a dig up those articles to get the exact figures for u but u get my point..

[cornfused]

^^you bring out a valid point most of the talk here centered aroung the performance and the generalization of "a V8" , what v8 ?small blocks stock aren't very fast in fact locally i have seen at the track 15 sec et from some of them, on the road there are some small blocks as well that are low reving and shitty trannies and relatively quick cars , sir s , levins leave them between lights and on the beetham this is not a hypotheical case.

[Craver]

the v8 would sex dat sr20

[AllTrac]

^^over and over again

[cornfused]

^^ how fast is what V8?, and as mentioned by foreign tuners some "only" have 200-220 hp

its the same as saying a rotary, what rotary

for those of you who bow to the mighty small blocks which are the one we generally have here ,
i need to ask

a) have you driven any stock V8 car
b) have you raced against any stock V8 car
c) have you witnessed any race with a stock V8 car

[Conrad]

[TeamH2O]

lol, old ass thread....

No replacement for displacement.

If you really had to put a stock v8 next to a stock sr20, who you think would run 13/14's quicker?

This is providing both cars are original and UNTOUCHED, no airfilter upgrades NOTHING, not even a muffler tip.

[black start]

depending on which v8. anybody ever do a 1uz-fe build locally?

[droppa]

the only 1UZ build i know of is the monster hilux that was recently for sale, other than that there are a couple LCs that came with them stock.......

wish cud find one and rest it in mih patrol.....



btw from what ive seen in the offroad caliber, V8 wins over SR!!

[black start]

^that was one monstrous hilux eh....

[Ted_v2]

v8s are pretty fast stock
sr20s are too but IMO will need some parts to compete with a stock v
