The SR20DET is a 2.0 L (1,998 cc) straight-four four-stroke gasoline engine that is part of the SR family of engines from Nissan , produced from 1989 to 2002. It is a turbocharged version of the SR20DE engine and is a replacement of the CA18DET engine.
86-738: Like with the outgoing CA18DET, the SR20DET was a turbocharged intercooled engine in top form. It was Nissan's popular four-cylinder turbocharged engine fitted into a wide variety of cars, most notably the S13-chassis Nissan Silvia and 180SX . It also came in the Pulsar GTI-R and the Nissan Bluebird . Both the SR20DE and SR20DET engines replaced the CA18DE and CA18DET engines that originally powered
172-595: A 2-door hardtop coupe and a new bodystyle 3-door hatchback. The Japanese market version of the hatchback was called the Gazelle and was exclusive to Nissan Store locations sold alongside the Fairlady Z , while the coupe body style Silvia remained exclusive to Nissan Prince Store locations alongside the Skyline . Its sharp-edged styling was shared with the new Nissan Leopard sedan and coupé, also exclusive to Nissan Store . Like
258-531: A 3.0L SOHC VG30E V6 engine , generating 160 hp (119 kW) and 174 lbf⋅ft (236 N⋅m) of torque. This was similar to the engine offered in the non-turbo Z31 300ZX for that generation. This model received the RVS12 model code. For 1988 the "SE" model received a 5 hp (3.7 kW) gain from using the later "W" series revisions of the VG30E with a total output of 165 hp (123 kW) while torque remained
344-469: A bigger turbocharger than the S13 series. The colors of the valve covers seem to relate to the year the engine was produced: 1990–1994 RNN14 Pulsar GTI-R 1991–1994 S13 Silvia & 1991–1998 180SX 1995–1999 S14 Silvia 1999–2002 S15 Silvia While all factory manufactured SR20DET's featured only a single turbo unit, some aftermarket tuners have engineered working twin-turbo configurations. One such kit
430-415: A foam rubber lower deflection lip. 1984 year foam rubber sideskirts featured the "NISSAN" monogram. In 1986, for the 1987 model year, the bumpers were updated, and the matte finished surfaces were eliminated for a more uniform surface. Rubstripping was increased to 2-inch height with scribe detailing. The honeycomb radiator grille was replaced with a slatted version that spanned the entire front end (previous
516-626: A hatchback version of the Silvia, introduced at the same time used pop-up headlights. The hatchback version, called the 180SX, replaced the Gazelle name in Japan and remained in production until 1998. The S13 was one of the first uses of Nissan's multi-link rear suspension, the technology of which was previewed in concept cars in previous years, such as the Nissan MID4 . It also offered a four-wheel steering system for
602-570: A hatchback version, which bore heavy resemblance to the liftback versions of the Toyota Corolla Levin and Sprinter Trueno AE86 . A number of different engines were equipped in the S12 chassis, depending on geographic market and production year, with an additional change in available engines again with the mid-cycle facelift. The NAPS system was carried over on the CA20E which replaced the Z engines of
688-489: A honeycomb radiator grille, and long corner lights. The RS-X trim in Japan and Europe received a hood bulge accent to accommodate the oversized dimensions of the FJ20E/ET engine, and featured a faux front vent with monogram (either FJ20, DOHC, or TURBO); In North America, the 1984 Turbo came with a "TURBO" monogrammed hood bulge accent, although all subsequent North American Mark I hoods were flat regardless of trim. In some markets,
774-691: A junior companion to the Fairlady ZX. The RS was equipped with the 2.0-litre DOHC "FJ" engine (FJ20E) , while the RS-X was equipped with a turbocharged version of the same engine (FJ20ET) . In 1987 Nissan discontinued the FJ Series engine in the S12 and replaced it with the CA18DET (Also with dual cams but a bigger turbocharger — the CA18DET ). Japanese spec Gazelle models came with many options like voice command, fog lights and
860-464: A limited-run (~250 units?) version of the S12 was produced and sold as the "Silvia Grand Prix" model. Based on a Mark I chassis, it was powered by the FJ20E (with a few known to be sold with the CA18DET ), and featured molded-in fiberglass wide body fenders and quarter sections and special edition wheels. The exterior takes design cues from popular European rally cars of the time, although Nissan's choice of
946-471: A number of minor changes, which resulted in little performance gains. It is vastly different from the more powerful "notch top" used in the S14 and S15 variants. In the U.S. the S13 was replaced after the 1994 model year by the new S14 design. It lived on until 1998 in Japan with a major facelift, the 180SX Aero (Type X/Type S/Type R). This is known as the "Kouki" generation, while the previous (or 'middle') generation

#17328581126871032-454: A single specification. The V6 was a very unusual choice as the WRC was dominated by 4-cylinder 2.0 L turbocharged engines, although for similar reasons Toyota entered WRC with the 6-cylinder Supra at the same time. The 200SX achieved a first place in the 1988 Ivory Coast Rally and second place for two years running in the very challenging Safari Rally 1988 and Safari Rally 1989 . Mark Skaife won
1118-449: A three-speed automatic and coupled with the H165 rear axle. For 1982 the 200SX was facelifted and gained the 2.2-liter Z22E engine coupled with the sturdier H190 rear axle. This model produces 103 hp (77 kW) SAE at 5200 rpm. There were no significant changes for 1983 and these were sold well into the 1984 model year, as the S12 did not appear until February 1984. The top model
1204-524: A trim level called the Datsun 200-SX/E which had window louvers , stripes, and a bodykit , however it appears to have never been produced. Its success in both markets was limited, most buyers opting for the Celica over what was considered the more mundane S-Chassis. The car had a drivetrain similar to the popular 510 , but with leaf springs fitted at the rear, rather than the 510's independent suspension . During
1290-583: A variety of different engine options (FJ20E, FJ20ET, CA18DE, CA18E, CA18DET.). The RS-X model also came with different factory alloy wheels. When the S13 Silvia was introduced in 1988 in Japan, the Gazelle nameplate was replaced with the Nissan 180SX as a junior companion to the 300ZX. In Australia there would not be a replacement until the introduction of the Silvia-based Nissan 200SX in 1995. The S12 series
1376-515: A white and gold two tone decals and interior, gold wheels, an electronic instrument cluster and navigation system, a voice warning system, gold badges and gold keys. The elimination of Group B from the World Rally Championship signified the end of Nissan's FJ24-powered 240RS . The FJ20ET-powered Silvia RS-X of 1986 would have been Nissan's first choice, however, there was an insufficient number of that exact trim sold in Japan to meet

American National Standard System for the Romanization of Japanese (ANSI Z39.11-1972), based on modified Hepburn, was approved in 1971 and published in 1972 by the American National Standards Institute . In 1989, it was proposed for International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standard 3602, but
1548-590: Is more systematic in its representation of the Japanese syllabary ( kana ), as each symbol corresponds to a phoneme . However, the notation requires further explanation for accurate pronunciation by non-Japanese speakers: for example, the syllables [ɕi] and [tɕa] , which are written as shi and cha in Hepburn, are rendered as si and tya in Nihon-shiki. After Nihon-shiki
1634-568: The Nihon no Rōmaji-sha ( 日本のローマ字社 , "Romanization Society of Japan") , which supported Nihon-shiki. In 1908, Hepburn was revised by educator Kanō Jigorō and others of the Rōmaji Hirome-kai , which began calling it the Shūsei Hebon-shiki ( 修正ヘボン式 , "modified Hepburn system") or Hyōjun-shiki ( 標準式 , "standard system") . In 1930, a Special Romanization Study Commission, headed by
1720-668: The 1987 Australian 2.0 Litre Touring Car Championship driving a Nissan Gazelle entered by the Nissan Motor Company. The Silvia S12 competed in the JSS (Japan Supersports Series) throughout the 1980s, when many of the top tuners got their start. They featured 15"x10"J wheels under the "Fisco" wide body kit. The JSS S12's made between 280PS to 340PS from the FJ20ET and CA18DET from 1987. The "HKS World Trade Silvia" sponsored and engineered by tuners HKS and Tomei ran in this series. The S13 Silvia
1806-701: The Datsun brand. The name "Silvia" is derived from Sylvia , the name of the nymph who served Diana , the Roman goddess of the hunt. The name also means "forest" in Latin . In 1962, Albrecht Graf von Goertz was working as a consultant for BMW, having created the BMW 507 , and saw the potential of Japanese manufacturers. Yamaha had created the Technical Research Institute to develop their own sports car in 1959, and had built

#17328581126871892-529: The FJ20E over the FJ20ET suggests this was more of a "rally inspired" car rather than a serious performance trim. The Silvia Grand Prix holds the distinction as one of the rarest incarnations of the S12, along with the CA18DET-engined RS-X in Japan. In Japan, a special anniversary model was produced and sold as the "50th Anniversary Version" with the CA18DET. Between 100 and 300 units were sold. It came with
1978-520: The Ministry of International Trade and Industry ; the Ministry of Foreign Affairs requires the use of Hepburn on passports, and the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport requires its use on transport signs, including road signs and railway station signs. According to a survey by the Japanese Agency for Cultural Affairs in 2022, the Japanese primarily use Hepburn to spell place names. Hepburn
2064-541: The SOHC KA24E for earlier models, or the DOHC KA24DE for later models. Both are naturally aspirated engines and are often less-powerful than the CA18DET and SR20DET engines, producing about 140 hp (100 kW) and 155 hp (116 kW) respectively. SR20DET engine swaps are becoming more commonplace due to the many aftermarket forced induction options available for the SR20DET. There are many tuning shops around
2150-488: The SR generation was the switch to a single colour paint job instead of the two-tone colour sets that were previously offered, with only a few two-tone colour options available. On top of this, the SR motor later debuted another variant of the platform known simply as the "blacktop". Identifiable by its black and silver rocker-cover (as opposed to the traditional red/silver cover), it featured
2236-568: The Tokyo Motor Show in September 1964 as the "Datsun Coupé 1500". The introductory model was a hand-built coupé based on the Fairlady platform. The CSP311 was powered by the 96 PS (71 kW) 1.6 L Nissan R series engine . The engine was equipped with twin SU carburetors . Due to being nearly entirely hand made, only 554 were produced, mainly in 1965, before production stopped in 1968. Most of
2322-519: The rear-wheel drive S13 Nissan Silvia and Nissan 180SX produced in 1991 were built with a longitudinally-mounted SR20DET, with some models using the naturally aspirated SR20DE. The engine then went on to be used in a number of Nissan vehicles, including the Nissan Avenir in 1995, the Nissan R'nessa in 1997 and the Nissan Liberty in 1999. The SR20DET (along with the naturally-aspirated SR20DE)
2408-426: The 1984 and 1985 could be had with a foam rubber deck spoiler. In 1986 the foam rubber deck spoiler was changed for a fiberglass version with an integrated third brake light. Some hatchbacks and all Turbo models came with ground effects, as did the RS-X coupés These had a combination of plastic mudflaps (monogrammed as either "NISSAN", or "SILVIA" in applicable markets) and accommodating foam rubber sideskirts, as well as
2494-533: The 2.0L DOHC "FJ" engine (FJ20E) . These models equipped with the rally package were dubbed "Rally Spec". The "FJ" engine series was originally designed for the "DR30" Nissan Skyline chassis, in both turbocharged and naturally aspirated versions. The CA18ET was also available catalyzed, producing 122 PS (90 kW). The S12 chassis in Australia, released in October 1983, was badged as a Gazelle. The Australian Gazelle
2580-642: The 4-year lifespan of the S10, over 145,000 units were produced until production stopped in 1979. Even though the standard car had poor handling, Paul Newman built and raced a 1977 Datsun 200SX in the 1978 IMSA Class C where it won 19 out of 22 races. This iteration of the Silvia (sold in United States and Canada as the Datsun 200SX and in Mexico as the Datsun Sakura , Japanese for cherry blossom ), available as
2666-543: The Allied Powers Douglas MacArthur issued a directive mandating the use of modified Hepburn by occupation forces. The directive had no legal force, however, and a revised version of Kunrei-shiki was reissued by cabinet ordinance on December 9, 1954, after the end of occupation. Although it lacks de jure status, Hepburn remains the de facto standard for multiple applications in Japan. As of 1977, many government organizations used Hepburn, including

2752-471: The Gazelle coupé and hatchback so that Nissan's different dealership networks in Japan could all carry their own variants of the model. There are minor cosmetic differences between the two cars such as grille pattern and taillight lenses. Gazelle was treated as a more exclusive model, while the Silvia was the base and sporty models. The Silvia continued to be sold as the 200SX in North America, with either
2838-410: The Hepburn style compared to other systems. In 1867, American Presbyterian missionary doctor James Curtis Hepburn published the first Japanese–English dictionary, in which he introduced a new system for the romanization of Japanese into Latin script . He published a second edition in 1872 and a third edition in 1886, which introduced minor changes. The third edition's system had been adopted in
2924-486: The Hepburn style compared to other systems. In Hepburn, vowel combinations that form a long sound are usually indicated with a macron (◌̄). Other adjacent vowels, such as those separated by a morpheme boundary, are written separately: All other vowel combinations are always written separately: In foreign loanwords , long vowels followed by a chōonpu (ー) are indicated with macrons: Adjacent vowels in loanwords are written separately: There are many variations on

For example, し is written shi not si . This transcription is thus only partly phonological. Some linguists such as Harold E. Palmer , Daniel Jones and Otto Jespersen object to Hepburn since
3182-510: The May 1984 brochure, the coupé added: alloy wheels, mudflaps, electric windows/mirrors/antenna, a six speaker sound system (over four), time delay interior lighting, variable intermittent wipers, an armrest, carpet kickpads, and cloth headlining/sunvisors/door trims (over vinyl). An option pack for the coupé added air conditioning, power steering, and power sunroof. The hatchback's option pack added air conditioning, power steering, and power sunroof. By

The Commission eventually decided on a slightly modified "compromise" version of Nihon-shiki, which was chosen for official use by cabinet ordinance on September 21, 1937; this system is known today as Kunrei-shiki romanization . On September 3, 1945, at the beginning of the occupation of Japan after World War II , Supreme Commander for
3354-516: The S10 received its first upgrade which included a new trim level "Type-LSE" which got a new L18E engine which had an electronic fuel injection intake instead of the carburetor. This upgrade also included a change to the model name, from S10 to S11. In 1977, the S11 received upgrades including interior upgrades, a body-colored front grille, new wheels, new hubcaps, new rubber bumper corners, a new trim level "Type-G" and more optional parts and colors. The S10
3440-572: The S110 in North America. A CA18ET 1.8l turbo engine with ECCS was added for SE trims, Certain US trims had the S12 equipped with an optional VG30E V6 engine, also shared by the 300ZX (Z31) . The FJ20 was replaced with the CA18DET in the Mk2 revision in markets where it was offered. On the original, pre-facelift model, the bumpers featured matte-finish raised surfaces, and sides featured half-inch rubstripping. Cars featured
3526-501: The S110, the S12 chassis in Japan was badged as both a Silvia and a Gazelle. The S12 Silvia in Japan was available in a hatchback as a basic model only, or as a coupé (notchback) in base, RS, and RS-X trims and exclusive to Nissan Prince Store Japanese dealerships as a junior companion to the Nissan Skyline. The S12 Gazelle was strictly a hatchback, available in regular, RS and RS-X variants and exclusive to Nissan Store locations as

3612-574: The Silvia and 180SX from the S12-chassis and prior. The previous CA18DE and CA18DET engines were deemed too expensive to produce (due to its cast-iron block) and no longer met Japanese emission standards, and so they were replaced with the SR20DE and SR20DET respectively. The SR20DET is a popular choice as an engine swap in North American 240SXs (more specifically the USDM and Canadian models), as they use
3698-470: The Silvia. About 500 units of the Sileighty made by Kid's Heart were produced. The Sileighty was originally created by Japanese enthusiasts for their own 180SXs, and is currently a common modification for both the 180SX and 240SX fastback. A Sileighty appears in the Japanese manga and anime series Initial D (based around the Japanese motorsports of touge and drifting ), where it was featured in one of

The North American 1987 200SX SE V6 was chosen and competed in 1986-89 as a 200SX. Nissan's creation and choice of this car ensured they could sell 5000 cars required for WRC Homologation . The S12 "SE" trim's V6 held the only real appeal to the North American market, allowing Nissan to sell right at 5000 cars to
3870-462: The YX30 sports car. As Yamaha had a working relationship with Nissan, work began on project A550X, but at some point the project fell apart and work was cancelled. Kazuo Kimura and Fumio Yoshida were both working on Project A550X and when the professional relationship between Nissan and Goertz ended in 1964, the work on the project contributed to the Silvia. The Nissan Silvia CSP311 made its public debut at

The European S12 was available only in the hatchback configuration, few were equipped with a rally package that included a rally foot brace for the navigator, headlamp guards, headlamp dust cleaners, with the same 1.8L SOHC Turbo (CA18ET) used in North America, and in some areas
4042-400: The all-new S platform , intended as Nissan's compact, rear-wheel-drive, sporty car platform . Japanese versions were exclusive to Nissan Japanese dealerships called Nissan Prince Store along with the larger C110 Skyline .

Hepburn romanization Hepburn romanization ( Japanese : ヘボン式ローマ字 , Hepburn : Hebon-shiki rōmaji , lit. ' Hepburn-style Roman letters ' ) is the main system of romanization for the Japanese language . The system was originally published in 1867 by American Christian missionary and physician James Curtis Hepburn as
4214-519: The end of the S110 itself. The resulting machine became Nissan's official rally car in the World Rally Championship from 1983 to 1985, with its best result a second-place finish in the 1983 New Zealand Rally. Nissan also briefly competed with the regular Silvia: in 1982 Nissan confusingly homologated it as a bodystyle variant of the Violet (A10) under the name Datsun Violet GTS . This model used
4300-420: The engine remained standard. The CSP311 patrol car was the first Japanese high-performance patrol car, chosen due to being the fastest production car in Japan at the time with a top speed of 165 km/h (103 mph), and due to its disc brakes giving it good stopping power. There was a convertible prototype CSP311 developed, however it was never produced. The S10 was the first mass-produced Silvia built on
4386-563: The first battles in the manga as well as in one of the last battles in First Stage . The creation of the Sileighty was then followed by another version of the Silvia known as the Onevia . Based on the chassis of the S13, the front end of the Silvia would be removed and replaced with the front end of a 180SX . The Onevia was never retailed as a complete car in Japan (though it was in North America:

Digraphs with orange backgrounds are the general ones used for loanwords or foreign places or names, and those with blue backgrounds are used for more accurate transliterations of foreign sounds, suggested by the Cabinet of Japan 's Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology . Katakana combinations with beige backgrounds are suggested by

S13 Silvias were initially powered by the CA18DE and CA18DET engines carried over from the end of S12 production, with an intercooler added to the CA18DET for a slight increase in stability and power. The naturally aspirated engine

The car was redesigned shortly before it was released and the stillborn Wankel power plant was replaced by a line of twin-plug conventional piston engines from the new Z-series range . These included the Z20 and the turbocharged and later the fuel-injected Z18ET, although the latter of the two was only available to the Japanese domestic market and after
4730-466: The mid-life facelift. This took place in late May 1981 and included new bumpers and a reworked front design. Albeit a sporting design, the 135 PS (99 kW) Turbo model received largely the same chassis as regular models and did not have any kind of turbocharger boost indicator. At the time of the facelift, the DOHC FJ20-engined RS model was also introduced. Nissan rebadged the Silvia as

In 1886, Hepburn published the third edition of his dictionary, codifying a revised version of the system that is known today as "traditional Hepburn". A version with additional revisions, known as "modified Hepburn", was published in 1908. Although Kunrei-shiki romanization is the style favored by the Japanese government, Hepburn remains

It is learned by most foreign students of the language, and is used within Japan for romanizing personal names, locations, and other information, such as train tables and road signs. Because the system's orthography is based on English phonology instead of a systematic transcription of the Japanese syllabary , individuals who do not speak Japanese will generally be more accurate when pronouncing unfamiliar words romanized in

As before, the Silvia was exclusive to Japanese dealerships called Nissan Prince Store next to the Skyline. The S13 Silvia coupé was made from 1988 to 1994, overlapping with the S14 Silvia introduced in 1993. The Nissan Silvia used fixed headlights; whereas the 180SX, simply

The resulting unit was fairly unreliable, and forestalled production. Coincidentally, this Silvia shares its chassis code with the Mazda Cosmo , the first Japanese production car to feature a rotary engine. The chassis was shared with the B310 Nissan Sunny and

"ZX" is traditionally associated with the Nissan Z-cars ; the name change was done to avoid giving the car the same name as the Queen of Sweden . The ZX name was also used because Nissan's Swedish importer decided to stop carrying
