Sr20'd E30 End of season Pics

[Dozyproductions]

So how does a sr20det e30 compare to lets say an s50 e30? I really like seeing a lighter engine being able to produce the same amount of power (even though its turbo).

an s15 sr20det e30 with rwd would be sick!

Now that you said you use to have d90's i remember your car at h20i last year. I love this car and cant wait to see it at h20i next year! I talked to you at the convention center this year and my buddy grabbed some nice shots of your car. Ill see if i can get them from him.

Very cleanly done swap, you deserve all the props you can get Steve, you did an awesome job on this car. I knew it would be in good hands when it was sold to you!

Thanks buddy :) It will be fun to see what the car will do at the track now :P

soooooooo nice. background picture.

not sure if it's been said but what lip is that?

I think its from a Vr6 MKIII VW or something similar.

It's a mk2 NA 2.0l lip, It's the same size as the oem is lip, just alot more durable.

Tire and wheel specs please

I've never been in an s50'd e30, but I can tell you that the weight distrabution would be far better with the sr due to it being all aluminum and sitting much farther back in the bay.

As far as power, on stock boost with a few mods and the motor being fresh it's putting a healthy 200 whp down, when I turn the boost to 12-13psi sr's generally produce 240-250whp +. I'm just taking my time, getting used to the boost, and letting the motor break in a little before I abuse it to much.

Right on, your buddy was Dan Kepple right? Definitely see you next year :)

in lovve well done

[SimplyDope]

VERY well done. Looks like a lot of time and effort went into this. You must be very happy with the end result. Good job!

[Holland]

I absolutely love the color combo on this car. It's a stunner for sure.

Still running the stock M20 fuel pump?

[1fastm50]

this car is sick man!

[dashboardmonkey]

nicely done.

[ubernasty]

pretty sweet, saw you cruising down h2o but never actually saw it in any lots.... didn't even know you were swapped but you didn't have the hood off when i saw you.

But then again I was definitely thinking how the fuck is that guy driving static that low up front? it all makes sense now hah

[ethrtyiS]

looks oh so good. rear just needs to come down a bit more.

[Dozyproductions]

nice man! I know this is really annoying to ask, but do you have the swap well documented somewhere or could you? SR's where I live can go for really cheap and I would love to own a bastard BRG e30 ;)

[Bimmermeister]

this question has been bugging me for a while with SR20 swaps.

how did you adjust the tachometer to match the SR's revs?

i'm a big noob when it comes to engine swaps but i'm guessing you had to do some kind of wiring to show the SR's actual revs on the e30 cluster?

other SR swaps ive seen people do custom clusters just wondering what you did :D

Yes stock pump still. Not really worried about needing a walbro until it's running more boost.

I posted a link earlier to my build thread, although it's not documented that well, I tend to do more work then take pictures, so usually ends with a result and no progress shots :( It's great for me getting stuff done, but not so much for posting pictures. I did the inital swap last winter in 5 weeks, time wasn't wasted on pictures of everything I did, needed to get it done.

I'm running an oem 7k e30 cluster with m42 coding plug in it with a booster circuit converting the signal from the tach output on the nissan harness from a 5 volt signal to 12v. I found a write up on this while doing the swap http://sre30.blogspot.com/ If you scroll down you'll find the part where he talks about this.

For the wiring etc I used this write up for information, I didn't really like how he hooked his up, so I ended up just using his pinout of the c101 and wiring mine using the e30 main and fuel relays switched by the nissan ecm.

also used this site for the nissan pinout

I'll try and take a video of the tacho working and such so you can see it :)

your car is awesome. so i made it into my new background.
