1970 Datsun 510- SR20DE Swap
Engine by Krinkov
SR20DE engine rips thru the RPMs and really tells the driver your in a sub 2000lb car!
SR20Turbos are lame anyways right? right.
5spd. Friend says it gets 35mpg cruising! It's made it to LA and back!
510 has cool old school mesh wheels too. They were sandblasted so they look new. Brand is Cheviot or something.
MR2/Miata suspension
$4999.01 Come see us in Mountain View!

I love NA. I drove an STi the other day and was like WTF? i thought these were fast? I guess they just sound fast. If i ever swap my RS, it will be a 3.0L NA engine.
Go to DGR (One of the best 510 shops on the west coast) in San Jose. one of the workers there has an SR20DE 510 all NA internals and he runs a turbo on it on low boost. He says he gets about 200 hp that comes on at like 1500 RPMs, and he says he wouldnt have it any other way.
Makes sense, no point in taking apart an NA engine to lower the compression, you might as well slap a turbo on, wait til something breaks THEN swap out internals.
But you can easily slap on a turbo and run low boost on this engine, The guy at the shop has a few 1000 miles on his SR20DE+Turbo on NA internals.
