Boost Addicts SR20det engine conversion
#21
Probably not since the DET never made it to the US.
I'm actually a bit curious about a KA-T setup on a miata now that we're talkin nissans: 2.4L, tons of torque, and its really not expensive or hard to build one up. I've seen plenty of 400whp KA-T cars around here, and those engines are dirt cheap. even cheaper than the BP

The SR20 also has ALLOT more aftermarket support than the KA, and the DET came boosted from the factory, so it has things like piston squirters, sodium filled valves, and slightly lower compression.

The only issue I see so far with the oil pan is that is looks like it doesn't slope back towards the pick-up tube.

It's a simple OBDI engine, so for sensors you have WT, o2, knock and cam sensor, which are all the same as a FWD DE except for the cam sensor. Seals? Valve cover, and a few o-rings maybe. Nothing you couldn't easily keep in stock.
Ok, I thought of ONE thing - coil packs.

Modifications are more likely to break than OE parts, so I don't know why you're concerned about this.

- water temp sender plastic cracked and won't hold the contact
It's a pretty long list as you can see.

I was going to do this conversion before I decided to just turbo the 1.6.
Over here in Ireland there are endless amounts of sr20's, and aftermarket go fast bolt on bits! All for cheap.
The only reason I didnt do it was because it as going to be a pain in the *** to fab up a sump! But seeing as you work in a machine shop and have access to all the tools, and obviously have the skills, then I think its a very good alternative to turbo'ing the original lump.
The SR is a great engine, and very very tunable, with bolt on bits you could see 400bhp easy.
Good look with the build, and keep the updates and pictures coming.
