koguchi's 180sx

[silviafreak]

did koguchi perform a newer version sr20det conversion? the reaso being, he has a trust t517z turbine installed on it. the T517Z says that is is meant for the s14, and we all know koguchi has a s13. so theres my question! post any pictures you want to!

[scirocco]

way to double post

[captobvious]

he doesn't have an s13, he has a 180sx, they like made them up till the mid to late 90's in japan if i remember correctly

[Stannyboy]

Koguchi drives a S15 silvia now in japan.. Down here the Falken 180sx magazines say its a ca18det but doesn't look like one.. its a sr20det. S14 and S15 turbos are upgradeable on the s13 sr20

[silviafreak]

not to be rude or anything but the 180sx is still the s13 chassis. pleas correct me if i am wrong

If both engines are 2.0L with the same bore and stroke, the same materials, and the sameblock, etc... how does a T517 fit only on S14 SR20DET? and it doesn't just "fit" anywyas, iirc you need a new manifold. Maybe not. Either way, plenty of people have T517s on S13 SR's.

i thought that turbine was able to bolt onto a stock manifold.

i'm probably just retarded though.

it's a bottom mount, i know that!

[silviafreak]

yea the falken 180 has a sr20det. what magazine said it had a ca18det?

[slideways2004]

it was men's fitness magazine. those guys must work-out!

[silviafreak]

what! mens fitnesss magazine? lmao

[slideways2004]

the magazine where they have the reallly swole guys that eat more steriods than they do real meals. they have to have everything big so they can compensate for something small

[tonesdef]

all i know is taht thing takes for ever to spool

[Brian]

it does??

i didn't think so.

it is quite popular.
i don't think a long spool up turbine would be popular...

The letter "R" designates fastback model. No "R" means coupe. "P" designtates SR20DE(T).

SO a CA18DET 180sx was an RS13.
An SR20DE Type G 180sx was RPS13
An SR20DET Type R (or type X) 180sx was RPS13
An SR20DET Silvia K's was PS13. etc....

here in america, we have the "R" as well, but the engine code letters wer different. "H" For KA24E and "M" for KA24DE. RMS13 is a 91-93 240sx fastback. HS13 was 89-90 240sx coupe.
