    Even if the SR18DET will get you more power, it would also cost you much more than a SR20DE swap (not including the turbo piping, etc). And the plus part is you could always do an aftermarket turbo setup on the SR20 later if/when you have the budget for it. Stock SR20DE with turbo would be enough for at least 200hp.

    Just something to think about.

    Anyway, performance it's all about have a lot of HP but more of a balance of power and control. Having too much power is useless if you can't control it. That is why I prefer the N/A SR20DE in my project car.

    By the way, mayabang yung isang Fil-Chinese dun sa SpeedLab. Siya yung payat, mid-20's ang edad, at sa tingin ko e owner or co-owner ng shop. He laughed when I brought in the sample filter of my CA20S. Karburador lang pala naman daw. Sabay iniwan ako.
    That would be "sids" ... known him for years. Don't take his behavior into any personal offense because that is really how he is. He can be a fun guy to talk with once you get to know him better.


    Buti at mababait ang mga staff nila... Filipino staff. OK lang, I did not go there to be entertained. Anyway, I just also proved that SpeedLab's prices are way too high. Example, yung K&N cone-type filter nila ay php4,500, while sa Nihhon * Banawe ay php3,500 lang. Marami namang nagpapauto.
    Speedlab isn't simply about selling parts at the cheapest price but more about the overall service (try overlooking your experience with sids). A good number of cars on the road with proven performance have been tuned by speedlab. Tuning cars isn't really for the cheap because it can get expensive really quickly.

    I was * speedlab last saturday, wala si sid. Si ferman lang andun pero he was busy doing a baseline dyno kaya i didnt have the chance to ask about unichip that would be fitted sa triton with the K&N filter.

    Talked to sid sa phone re: tein coil overs. better to visit nalang daw.
