Plenty of noise from this owners Nissan 200SX S14 SR20DET drift slag. Definitely one to be heard with its deafening noise from the screamer pipe coming due North

Enough power from the OD turbo to fling this Nissan 200sx S14 chassis sideways for its usual weekend fun, though Ive heard its been more daily fun

Featuring an FCTuningNistune ECU Solution and switchable Launch Control

Enjoy !

Nice torque from the original OEM Turbo and actuator and everything is kept in check with an FCTuningNistune ECU Solution.

Another nice Quick Spool fast road Nissan

Get your ear defenders on. This was one loud SX on the Dyno.

Well in it came to the workshop with its PowerFC fitted and tuned, but low n behold sat in the boot was a lovely new Haltech ECU which the previous tuner chose not to tune. Not sure why. But this was an ideal opportunity to get the SR20DET up and running on the Haltech Platinum Sport series ECU.

So that natural thing was for us to rip out the old PowerFC (yes. okay, it does the job but it cannot offer ANY failsafe protection using the engines sensors and has no wideband control, so it had to go)

As the old saying goes, Out with the old and In with the New.

Welcome to Haltech’s Platinum Sport 1000. After rewiring the fuel pump connections and fitting the ECU, calibrating a fresh basemap we soon had some life from the beloved SR and it was off out on the road.

A few hours later on the road and after final optimisation on dyno just to see what the engine was delivering, the rest as they say is history.

The engine REALLY did perform well and this was a first for me to experience the smaller of the T2 series GTX range.

The blower on the SR20DET is courtesy of Garretts GTX2863R. A Small but yet SUPER punchy and responsive turbo which I may add makes IMPRESSIVE torque not the SR20DET engine. I was very surprised that torque was consistently over 380ft Ibs and peaking more in some places. It made me think and wonder what a couple of these little bad boys would be like in twin formation on an RB26DETT or VG30DETT engine at the time mmmm..

Anyway, a Fantastic drive from the SR. Love tuning these SR’s specced up like this, and even more so when good good modern management system is in situ

We’ll probably be back for more at some point and a 1.8bar boost tune to see what the GTX2863 is really capable of on a built SR20DET

Controlling the engine is an FCTuningNistune ECU Solution

Plenty of sideways action

The Nissan SR20DET is a popular choice for track builds. It is light, powerful, and responds well to tuning. In an S13 chassis, the result is a sharp, balanced track weapon.

We set up the custom ECU mapping to suit the car’s specific modifications. The dyno run confirmed strong power figures and a smooth power delivery suited to track driving. Unit 18 left with a well-sorted, reliable package ready for competition.

The S14 is a favourite platform for drift builds. The SR20DET engine is light, powerful, and responds very well to tuning. With the right modifications and a custom map, it makes a very capable road and track weapon.

We carried out a full custom ECU tune to suit the car’s specification. The result was a strong, reliable power curve suited to both fast road driving and competition use. A great result and a well-deserved magazine feature.

Seeing it compete and being driven hard is a great reward. The car is powered by a FCTuningNistune ECU solution, which provides precise, reliable control over the engine at every stage of the build.

The SR20DET responds very well to a full development programme. With the right ECU tune backing up each modification, the S14 is now a strong, capable competition car. A build we are very proud of.

The car already had a FCTuningNistune ECU solution fitted from a previous visit. This session focused on the power hardware. We fitted an eBay 20G turbo upgrade alongside 740cc injectors and a larger MAF sensor to match.

The results speak for themselves. See how well this Silvia pulls on its solid 2.0 lump with the new setup. The combination of a proven ECU platform and the right power hardware gives excellent results every time. Another happy Silvia owner ready to go sideways.

The Nissan SR20DET in the GTiR is the same engine found in the popular Silvia and 200SX models. In the GTiR, it comes with four-wheel drive, making it a uniquely capable performance car.

The Nistune ECU solution allowed us to remap every aspect of the engine management. Fuelling, ignition timing, and boost control were all optimised for the car’s specification. The result was a noticeably sharper, more responsive GTiR with strong power across the rev range.
