OK, after all the engine conversion talk, I thought to myself, these are both tough units and are capable of producing some immense amount of power behind the wheel... so what's your choice?

 

SR20DET?

or the IG-GTE?

 

Your votes and comments please.

 

My personal vote is for the 1G-GTE. Why? BLKJET got one of these motors and worked the absolute daylights out of it, took both turbos off and threw on a single hybrid turbo and is producing over 500BHP at the wheels!

DEFINITELY a tough cookie to try and beat!

2JZGTTE sounds cool :thumbsup:

 

I think ill do some research on this, it sounds intresting... back later.

I knew your SR20 vote was coming, Grim.. I should've just voted for ya! :thumbsup:

MY Vote, the SR20dET...

 

Probably the most disposable engine, and so easy to get performance parts for these days...

 

VERY popular!

 

( But nothing can beat a toyota!)

:thumbsup:

I would go for the toyota 1gtte.

 

Toyota Body, Toyota Engine

pointless thread

 

hey you pack of guys who play around with old pushrod shitboxes, which one of these modern efi turbo motors are "better"? no i won't define the criteria for "better" either

Like I said, it's just pure curiosity to see what people actually thought of the 2 motors.... moreso on the Toyota motor, as the Nissan motor has heaps of comments on here already.

 

I just thought I'd make this thread to see what reaction I'd get. No harm in that... :dance: I hope

SR20's are ghey because.

 

A. They are datsun

 

B. They sound like a tractor

 

C. Rocker arms get the f@$k outta here

 

3S is king of the 2.0 litre turbos.

3SGTE for me, the engine I'm currently building up, estimating around 350rwkw :dance: should power the corolla along quite nicely.

 

and erm..its a 1G-GTE engine :D not 1GTTE

and erm..its a 1G-GTE engine :D not 1GTTE

Realised that afterwards....

thanks :dance:

VOTE 1 DATSUN

(loyal as ever to the SUPREME POWER of the DATSUNS)

They are both good engines, it really comes down to the application and what you feel comfortable working with..

Sr20det all alloy,light,so many japanese bolt on options, one over here making 780hp.

it also depends on what car it's in.

 

I mean something like a KE70 I'd go the SR. 1G's are just too big :dance:

 

but like an RA60 or something I'd go the 1G

Man.... don't be such a wimp... if it doesn't wanna fit... MAKE IT FIT! hahaha

 

I'm starting this thread as an IDEA for my car! The KE55.... just something for me to think about. It won't happen straight away, but once I get bored with the 5K and it's time for a mechanical update, these are 2 options I have in mind... possibly :dance:
