Datsun 510 SR20de Motor

This is the first time the car moved by itself in over a year since I took on this project. I can finally see some daylight. The motor is an SR20de from a JDM S14 with VTC so I am curious if I will be happy with the results of a better header and some cams or go FI. But that will be much later down the road. Here is a small clip with open exhaust. This week it is going to the exhaust shop. Oh BTW my wifes car is in the shot too.

what made you go with a vg and not a vq?

[F8d2Blk]

@drftjim

VQ's are dohc, they made vg30's sohc. It doesn't require moving the firewall.

One question. Why would you put a sr20 in a datsun when you could of payed the amount of money you did for that sr20 and had a 300+ hp 1200 or 1400 original engine? The car would have been so much easier just restoring the engine itself.

@xXNukeMeXx

Sr20 was only $1000 bucks.

Rebuild the 1600 would of been atleast $300

Rebuild Sidedrafts and tune $400 plus since I didn't know much about them at the time.

I wish now that I would of rebuilt the stock motor. It would of been a better learning experience for sure. At the time I was just a beginner gearhead.
