I can't believe it... srep 3.2 is the solution.

srep(3.93)+4x4/lzma -> 20.3GB

srep(3.2)+4x4/lzma -> 19.4GB

but in decompression srep 3.2 doesn't work for me, so I tried srep 3.93 in decompression and works.

Don't use delta, it will only harm your ratio. Not useful since many years (if ever).

SREP 3.2 is always a good shout for especially buggy data too.

i normally use srep_3.92.exe -m5f -l128 -c64 $$arcdatafile$$.tmp $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp for srep but recently have been getting a lots of error: general (de)compression error in srep. and all those were unity games. it fixes if i remove -l128 and -c64 parameters. what could be the reason here ?

Not exactly. There are data samples which give better compression with delta. They are very rare and usually are found in obscure game engines, but still.
