The SBC is actually more compact than the VG30DETT, therefore easier to stuff in there.

The VTC (not VVL or VVT) on the VG30DETT and S14 SR only adjust the intake cam timing. The only motor in that genre/time frame that had true VVT or VVL (variable valve lift) as Nissan calls it, was the SR20VE/SR16VE.

Thankfully, I have no issues with you disagreeing.=) I have yet to decide what I will eventually do to power mine.

I'm well aware of what you are saying. I see this in the KA as well. The SOHC due to the single large exhaust valve, flows better down low due to increased velocity than the DE. It's the difference between sucking through two straws vs one large. Obviously the higher up in the range you go, the DOHC will become more effective.

I honestly don't see the point. It's hard enough to find room in the WD engine bay for one turbo...let alone two tiny T too small's. The DOHC in this application isn't necessarily going to help much, as the SOHC many times will flow better down low (where we need it) To each his own, and good luck with it. I'd settle for having room to stuff a single 50 trim in and call it a day w/o having to use a stupid oil pump to get it back in the pan.

PM sent for JGC springs

Don't get me started on those screw balls. Feel free to search around on sr20forum.com and you'll see all the stuff they've screwed up. An SR is not necessarily difficult (not much different than in an S chassis), but there is no reason to give up the torque you would be with a square 2.0 vs 2.4 with a long stroke.

Would be stupid to swap a KA with a SR in a D21/WD21. The KA with it's larger displacement makes considerably more torque and spools the turbo faster.

Yes, you'll need a press to be able to install the wheel bearings.

I had the exact same issue. Had to ovalize it, and cut off a corner to make it work. Next time around...I'll just make my own from scratch.

It'll still effect MPG

'94 201k and counting.

I get 18 city / 22 hwy in my WD21 with 31/1050. I don't think that his 20mpg from the 4Runner is anything to shake a stick at.

Idle issues are usually tracked down to the IACV.

I've owned 12 different B13's (91-94) and a B14 (95-99). You'll get better mileage out of a 5 spd, and they are good transmissions. 5th gear pop out was more prevalent in 91-92 which are highport motors. 94 had a lowport motor, and any aftermarket stuff would be different on the intake side anyway. 5th gear popout was never an issue on the GA16DE motors, just the SR20DE. SE-R cars have a VLSD from the factory, but the E/XE/GXE/SE did not. The E did not have a rear sway bar, but the XE/GXE had a small one. The SE-R had a larger rear sway bar. On my 91 GA16DE car I avg about 40-43 hwy, can't remember what I got in town though. SR20DE cars usually get 32-34 on the hwy if they've been well maintained. JDM motors are plentiful and relatively easy to swap for either one. Best SR20DE based forum would be sr20forum.com or sr20-forum.com, and there are a few GA16DE motored cars on there too.
