I think your all loosing the point of adding a turbocharged engine to a car . Its not n/a , so why rev the crap out of it to get power ? This isn't needed with correct tuning of turbocharged engine , sure if you do lots of work to any engine you can increase the rpm range .
But with huge amounts of torque acceleration of a light car in any gear will soon have you not bothering to down change , rev the engine for a short space of time before to next gear . All for no gain in acceleration ! might as well stayed in a higher gear and put the foot down . Just compare some lap times where at one corner the gearing is not really correct for second due to having to almost change mid exit . Then next session keep the car in third gear , you will see the difference .
As with the weight of the engine , who is going to keep all the accessories . Has anyway weighed the sr on scale pads front to rear balance ? then add the gearbox and weigh it vs say a 4ac . Very funny results . Then there engine placement , nobody should be adding the sr into the toyota engine position . But every conversion i has seen has been done like this .
As much as you bag the sr20det , in this state the 120y which won improved production had a backyard budget had a sr20det {now imagine the balance of that }.
And in 2 litre sport sedan class the most rounds this year have been won by sr20de powered cars . Even if the engines are in Alfas etc .
At club level the fastest two wheel drive car is a s15 , looking at the times the car has to have about 450-500hp , and if you here it down any straight you will hear its never reved above say 6500rpm . Its times are just a few seconds slower than a 600hp gtr , which on a good day is as quick as the v8 supercars .
SR20DET
CA18DET
4AGZE
3TGTE
Out of the above mentioned engine , what ones are winning in anykinds of motorsport today , not in the past when huge amounts of cash where poured into the development . Add money and you can redevelop again engine to be better , if not good .
But above the engine just engine you choose , just remember its a dated chassis . And that where the most work needs to be done .
Whos car was that your where in Stark ? Since i know mostly every sr ae86 owner i am interested .
