Nissan Sunny GTI-R

Based on the platform of Nissan Sunny N14, the GTI-R was a high-performance sport hidden in a compact chassis, Nissan and attempted to conquer the world rally title in the early nineties. At that time it was necessary to produce a minimum of 5,000 units of the model that is going to compete, and by that standard, we enjoy seeing on our roads legends as the Ford Escort RS Cosworth, Lancia Delta HF Integral and Toyota Celica GT Four among others. Nissan would not give up their cake, so I signed up for the party bringing his particular gift and that gift will bring.

In August 1990 came the first Pulsar GTI-R factory in Japan, at that time if a car had to be extravagant, as it was, and if the reason is the need. It is not unusual to see a vehicle of its kind with huge openings in the hood to its intercoolers, generously sized flaps designed in order to keep them glued to the floor, and oversized bumper with large air intakes to cool the mission as well as possible the mechanical, moreover if all this is pretty better.

But he did go to special Pulsar, its mechanics. For connoisseurs of Japanese cars, only better with an internal code to give you an idea SR20DET. If, in 1990 and was the legendary Nissan engine making war. For less understood and then explain what will the small block of 2 liters of Nissan.

For any brand, a number of internal codes to identify the engines and Nissan obviously not going to be less, I like codes using Japanese brands, because once you understand the mechanism, we can know the characteristics of the engine, just for your code. In this case as well, the initials SR are given by the type of engine, a 4 cylinder engine with aluminum cylinder block and head, double overhead camshafts and four valves per cylinder. The 20 comes by their engine capacity 1.998cc, i.e. 2 liters. The D in this case is redundant since it symbolizes the fact that this is a dual engine camshaft head SR fact inherent to the block. The E is for electronic fuel injection and T for the turbo. In this case a Garrett T28 adjusted to blow pressure 0.5 bars on the road version.
