Some of you may remember me from about a year ago when I posted pictures of my 240sx and it's mods. People didn't believe the #'s I was predicting..didn't believe the hp I was saying I would have....here's the results, please check out my thread in Member rides.
That is really a great looking engine. You did a great job. Can you give a little info on it, please?

The engine is an SR-20 DETand the turbo would have to be some where around a GT-35R to get 500 to the wheels, could you give some info on the build....I use to do some work on a local guys car that made 540ish @ 22 pounds.
Correct, it's an SR20DET. The turbo is a Precision PT67. It's a t4 with a .58 ar. We chose an S cover because it looked like my old turbonetics 62-1 turbo (which I never ended up running) and we polished the Precision turbo to make it look identical so some locals here would never know the difference...
I can give a full mod list.

btw, it also looks like a considerable amount of cash sitting there!
In a way, you are correct...but not completely. I picked up the motor/tranny for dirt cheap. I got it for $500.00 because the previous owner thought he cracked the block...turns out it was only a crack in the headgasket and the whole motor was fine. The SR20 motor is notorious for withstanding 500whp on stock bottom end but I'm not the type to push the limits...I like to make power and have it remain reliable, so I forged the internals with new pistons and rods, etc. etc. The whole motor after machine work was a little over $2k. (including parts) Intercooler piping was free, header was cheap. The only true expensive part was suspension mods, tires, etc. Drivetrain parts. All of the piping/fabrication was cheap if not free because I landed a job at a local speed shop.
