The Nissan SR20DET 2-litre turbo engine is one of the strongest four-cylinder engines ever produced.
Lets examine several of the different versions of the SR20DET as used in a range of vehicles…
The first production car application of the SR20DET was in this – the U12-series Nissan Bluebird (aka Pintara).
Released in October 1989 (for the 1990 model year), the U12 Bluebird SSS ATTESA Limited debuted Nissan’s new all-alloy, twin-cam 16-valve in-line four with a turbocharger hung off the side. In the U12 SSS, the SR20DET runs an 8.5:1 static compression ratio and its ECCS management system (which uses a hot-wire airflow meter and knock sensor) fires a set of four ignition coils. The standard turbocharger is a Garrett-based T25G working with a small top-mount air-to-air intercooler and boost pressure is set to around 7 psi.
The power output of the U12-spec SR20DET is 150kW at 6000 rpm and there’s 275Nm of torque at 4000 rpm – very competitive with the power output of twin-cam 2-litre turbos from other foreign car manufacturers. The SR engine is transversely mounted in the U12 and a 5-speed manual or 4-speed auto was offered. All SR20DET-powered U12 Bluebirds are also fitted with a constant AWD system.
In late 1991, the U12-series Bluebird was replaced by the curvy U13-series. For the U13 model, the SR20DET was upgraded to deliver 154kW. There are no obvious mechanical changes and it appears that the U13’s additional 4kW comes from very subtle exhaust, ECU and intercooler changes. Again, the SR20DET-powered U13 Bluebird was sold with the choice of a 5-speed manual or 4-speed auto and all are AWD.
These U12 and U13 engines are readily available at Foreign Engines import wreckers called JDM engines and they are quite popular as a replacement engine for foreign cars and domestic cars that use foreign engines. More on JDM engines here.
The other supply network comes from auto recyclers who buy newer low mileage cars with less than 40,000 miles onthem and sell them to wholesale engine distributors that qualify for ridiculously low prices.
