What are you doing? Leave the U20 alone (as far as forced induction )The U20 is a great engine that you really don't want to blow up. A well tuned U20 will make a roadster plenty fast (trust me, I know) Stick a pair of 44mm Mikuni Solex carbs on and a free flowing slightly oversized exhaust on it and it will fly. A stock solex B cam is good, with some tweaking and a reground cam, it really goes. Don't turbo it especially if its a real 67.5 2000, and if it is don't put a modern engine in either as you will have to cut the frame.
Just my $.02,

I think you are talking about the SR20DET engine?
If so, TR on this site is the man to talk to!
Nissan never offered a "U20DET". ANd I doubt there U20DETs on Ebay

If it is a 67 1/2 by all means leave it alone!

What's a U20DET?

Just to let you know what is minimully ahead of you...

The only turbos I've seen used dual-floated single SU carb and copper gasket to reduce the compression. This will get you in the 200+ HP arena.

The safest you can ever boost without precombustion is no more than 7. Anything over that, they used used water injection. If you use water injection you can drive very far because you will eventually run out of water.

You can fashion an intercooler but you find that to be a serious task since the intake and exhaust are on the same side and the avaible space is occupied by the overflow tank and washer fluid tank. You can try to put both tanks on the otherside of the radiator...

You will have to fashion a cleaver way to lubricate the turbo after you turn off the car becuase the oil will start to cook sitting in the turbo. Not to mention prelube the turbo at startup becuase the oild has drained down to the pan.
