Here's What A $17,000 Four-Cylinder Engine Sounds Like
Here's What A $17,000 Four-Cylinder Engine Sounds Like-May 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:11:13

The Nissan SR20 is the little ball of fury that has powered innumerable Nissan budget and pro drift and drag cars over the past nearly three decades. Usually it’s your best way to two or three hundred horsepower. Here’s what it’s like when it’s pushing 900.

This is Dave Briggs’ SR-powered pro car that competed in Formula Drift a few years ago and is still talked about in the drift community. What people seem to still like about the SR is that is feels raucous, like all of the bolts are coming loose, that there’s danger to manifold!! and your car will explode as you wind out to redline. You get that feeling hearing this thing run.

What I didn’t realize is that this engine could be yours. Briggs’ engine is best known for its Mazworx manifold, and Mazworx down in Florida is where you can buy this whole setup.

For $16,999.

You do get a lot for your money, with an engine taken up to 2.3 liters from 2.0 and the aforementioned 900 horsepower. Full specs are on . Worth it? Probably worth it.

One Aston Martin's Fuel Pump Only Lasted Through The First Hairpin Of The Nürburgring 24
It’s Craiglist’s favorite phrase beyond “no lowballers:” “needs fuel pump.” Unfortunately for the No. 40 Aston Martin Vantage V8, the first lap of the Nürburgring 24 Hours was a bit too true-to-Craigslist. A fuel pump problem brought their car to a halt at the first hairpin of the race. Driver...

Embarrassing ‘Spainish Grand Prix’ Typo Somehow Gets Painted On F1 Track
Embarrassing ‘Spainish Grand Prix’ Typo Somehow Gets Painted On F1 Track
Typos are bad and embarrassing. Why, the very website you are reading once called the then-GOP presidential nominee “” in a headline. So we’re sympathetic to the particularly noticeable typo before this weekend’s race, designing a “#SpainishGP” logo that got painted across the race track. Then some poor souls had...

The Nürburgring 24 Hours Is Too Incredible To Miss So Here's How To Watch
I knew the was a big deal before I got here. They’ve got 15.99 miles of track to run tons of cars at once, and regular enthusiasts routinely go door-to-door with Le Mans winners. But the sheer size and scale of this event is larger than I could have ever...

Leading Porsche Eats The Wall And We're Not Even Halfway Done With The Nürburgring 24
This year’s Nürburgring 24 Hours was looking like an easy home race for Manthey Racing, with two Porsche 911 GT3 Rs in first and second place mere moments before. Their shop’s just down the road, man. They’ll do fine! Sadly, their No. 911 Porsche driver Romain Dumas just crashed at...
