C'mon... K11's rock... I've seen someone fit an SR20DET out of a 200SX S14 in one (200bhp standard) in what... 800kg?

Hi lads.
Talking of Jap cars. I once had a Datsun Sunny coupe. The engine was fantastic, however, everytime i went over a bump, i
left part of the body work on the road.
Cheers Mark.

RWD then?
The most famous one was Dave Bulls Little Bandit, which was an Almera GTi SR20DE+T and FWD.
Fitting the RWD variant SR20's to FWD chassis' is a right total ball ache, unless it's fitted longdituinally lol. I know, cos it's something I have looked into for my Nissan in the past.
I always recommend K11's to people. Much much better than any equivalent and with an SR20 or even a GA16DE they sure do fly.

Sounds cool dude.

Any links to the car?
Little Bandit was putting down soemthing like 350whp when he totalled it at Crail. Savage!
Another engine people know little about is the SR16VE, there is also an SR20VE and very very rare an SR20VET. The V means it's Nissans version of Vtec

Some say it's better!
Doesn't hang about (Change gear though!)
Even quicker
There's not much needs to be done to fit an SR20DE/t into a K11 chassis. I made a list somewhere. lol
