Perfect for My 240SX Swap!
Bought this SR20DET for my S13 swap, and it fired up on the first try! Low-mileage JDM engine (60k km) with zero leaks. Came with turbo, harness, and ECU. Made 280whp on stock boost—insane value!
J. Stoker –
This engine handles abuse like a champ. Running 18psi on a GT2871R turbo, and it’s been reliable for 2 seasons of drifting. No crankwalk issues like some SR20s get. Highly recommend!
S. Paschall –
OEM+ Condition
Looks and runs like it just left the factory. Compression is 150psi across all cylinders. Perfect drop-in replacement for my Nissan Pulsar GTI-R. Even had the OEM heat shields!
Wachtel –
Great, But Needed Gaskets
Solid SR20DET engine, but the valve cover gasket was leaking when it arrived. Replaced it easily, and now it runs perfectly in my S14. Seller offered a partial refund for the minor issue—good customer service!
