Talk:Nissan SR engine

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Anyone know the difference between the SR20DE blacktop and redtop and silvertop/normal engines? We should have that on here.

I think the bluebird SSS was powered by an SR20DET and not a SR20DE. Sean1978 00:22, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

The U13 Bluebird SSS appeared with both, and oddly enough, the KA24DE in Australia. The SR20DET model of the U13 SSS is properly known as the SSS ATTESA. AKADriver 19:09, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

The SR20De produces 116 hp and later 131 hp!

The SR20DE produces 150 hp and LATER 140 hp! It´s the GT-Version. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 84.164.251.184 (talk • contribs).

Not by any reliable source I've seen. There's no lowercase e in Nissan engine codes. That's the SR20Di you're thinking of, which is already listed.

My '91 Sentra SE-R was rated at 140hp SAE: http://www.se-r.net/about/sentra_se-r/specs.html — AKADriver ☎ 03:44, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

The "first" SR20DE in the P10 eGT produces 150hp andlater 143hp in the Almera GTI (N15) and at last only 140hp in the P12, i think .

[edit] Engines

Blacktop is like a better performance model, included in the SSS Bluebirds. However from the SSS 91 Bluebird I have seen, it is only black in and around the spark plug valley. Not the whole rocker cover. I am not sure what makes it better performance however it is not turbo.

From what I have seen Black does not mean turbo unless it is in the Silvia.

Redtop engine is always turbo. IE SR20DET as used in the Pulsar GTi-R and, Bluebird SSS Attesa Limited.

Silvertop is the normal SR20DE.

Attesa simply means the 4WD system used - does not mean turbo. However the Nissan Bluebird was released in a 4WD model ([2000]SSS Attesa, ARX-G Attesa, EEX-L Attesa and other variants) and a 4WD turbo model (the Bluebird [2000]SSS Attesa Limited)

You may want to refer to SR20DET, Attesa, Nissan Bluebird, and http://english.auto.vl.ru/catalog

Bear in mind I am from New Zealand so I have only seen Australian import, New Zealand made, and Japanese import models.

I myself own a 1994 ARX-G Attessa (Silvertop) and my friend owns a 1991 Bluebird SSS Attesa V (Blacktop [around the spark plug valley])

The "-top" names are only for turbocharged variants - see the Nissan SR20DET main article. They're just enthusiast nicknames anyway - if you want to be specific, just say what car it came from and all will be clear.

Early US SR20DEs also came with black paint in the spark plug valley, these are still properly "silvertop" if you choose to use those names.

There was a non-turbo with a red rocker cover, in the JDM S15 Silvia Spec-S Autech version. — AKADriver ☎ 19:24, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

I think the SR20VET has more than 280 hp! This "Gentlement Agreement" does not give it any longer!!

The SR20DET can produce 670 hp! :) http://www.nismo.co.jp/products/productguide/s14/partslist.html
