The sentras have SR20's dont they? and i think there are a few more cars, does anyone know of any other cars that have SR's?

Alot of people say if you get the SR20DET from japan then nobody knows how to work on them, and why is that if there are SR20's in bunch of nissan cars here in US so obviously people know how to work on the SR's just not the turbo part?

do you know the years these cars were equiped with the SR20DE's or were they SR's since they came out and were always SR20s? thanks

they dont know how to work on them cuz there different....im sure any mechanic could figure it out...an engine is an engine. But the sr20 here were FWD and parts cant be swapped from that one to a turbo one.

im sure they will use the parts from SR20DE engines, what a bunch of crap, if they would do that i would slap them silly!!...

here is what i said at my other post about thie DE and DET business...

im a genius i tell you, haha if money wasnt an issue that is!! well its not like i was gonna do this anyways, i love my KA engine, just thought id throw an idea out there and see what others would think about this. Because its possible, and its an option, but yes it would cost you. but then again!! AcTUALLY!! I know a place where i can get the SR20DE engine for $100... WHATS UP NOW!!! Sure internals are gonna cost me just like they would cost for any other engine, the engine mounts yea i would have to get from japan.... the tranny from japan as well because the KA tranny wont fit, and plus i would get like a 6 speed tranny if i was gonna get one. The turbo i can get here, and the wiring i would have to get from japan or from a shop down in the CA,LA area where they get the front clips from japan... i might as well get the parts from them as well... so if you think about it... look how much it would cost me....

SR20DE-$100
RODS/PISTONS/CRANK, BEARING KIT - $1,200 about
TURBO W/INTERCOOLER - $3500
ENGINE MOUNT - (guessing like $300?)
WIRING -$500??
5 OR 6 SPEED TRANNY - $1200??

so im looking at about $6800

i know for $5,000 i can get an SR20DET engine installed at this place down at LA, but how good is the engines internals? and im not sure if it even comes with a tranny or how crappy the tranny is, plus that DET comes stock, and if i was to build this SR20DE+turbo .. it would be top of the line internals and greddy turbo, so i would be pushing more than stock DET engine, and it would be all nice and new after i get it all bored and cleaned and crap.... i will be pushing around 350hpw with 14psi if everything is done correctly ... so obviously im a genius... why cant you people accept that!!! :naughty:

can u even turn a fwd engine into a rwd?

zdude
10-12-2004, 10:55 PM
^^^i dont see why not, just get a new tranny, and turn the engine 90 degrees...might need a new intake and stuff so it is the right spot, new exhaust mani so it points in the right direction. otherwise i believe they are the same engines

no you can't..........

and also most mechanics don't work on modified cars... and they sure as shit don't like working on engine swapped cars....for a number of reasons

thats wut i thought... i've never heard of some1 turn a fwd engine into a rwd or else every1 would of been doin that a long time ago instead of importing engines from japan

I was at this junk yard looking at engines and cars with SR20s with front wheel drive and reading up on a lot of stuff lately about this engine SR20DE front wheel drive and make it into a SR20DET engine rear wheel drive. IT IS possible!!! The SR20DE is pretty much same as DET minus the turbo and stronger internals. Here is what you would need to do to make a front wheel drive SR20DE into a SR20DET rear wheel drive.

1.New intake manifold, because front wheel drive is backwards.
2.SR20DET engine mounts
3.SR20DET header
4.Low compression pistons and stronger rods
5.Cam is different
6.SR20DET tranny
7.Wiring harness
8.ECU
9. SR20DET turbo or aftermarket one
10.Bigger oil pump
11.oil cooler

and you got yourself a SR20DET

im sure i missed a few things here and there, but i think i got the basic parts. I would have to look into it more.

but it is possible yes.

If you dont plan on rebuilding the SR20DET that you would go from japan, then go with that because that would be cheaper than making this set up. If you plan on rebuilding the SR20DET then might as well go with this set up and save a few grand. I personally would rebuild any engine i get, because i have no clue what its been through and i would feel much better knowing i have went through the entire engine and know it by hand. just my opinion.

arn't the infiniti G20's rwd sr20's? I'm surprised i haven't seen any of those hooked up yet.

the G20s are front whelel drive..i just looked at one with the SR20DE at a junk yard, its sideways, and i was thinking about pulling the electric radiaotr fan out for my 240...

Dude if it were that easy it would have been done. first of all the USDM sr20de is barely comparable to the JDM sr20det, first of all the none of the gaskets will cross over, the water sleeves are diffrent, the head set-up is diffrent, I doubt the usdm's had 4 throttle bodies. I don't think the motor mounts will be that easy to switch, you'll have to make brackets to bolt the motor mounts up. umm lets see... the exhaust manifold from a sr20det will not bolt up to the sr20de head due to diffrent configurations. Nobody makes an intake mani turned sideways for the sr20de so unless you're one hell of a welder and have the facilities to forge some high grade aluminum or whtever it's not gonna happen. Oh yea and fuel system is no where near adequate for a turbo setup. I know the tranny for the sr20de will not work for RWD unless you're really inventive. And if thats not a big enough list just let me know and I can get some more info.

SRs don't have individual throttle bodies. And you only need to say first of all once.

sorry I was really tired when I typed it and didn't bother to go back and read what I wrote. and yes some SR's have individual throttle bodies

th sr20's in the sunnys have individual throttle bodies.

You can modify them to have individual throttle bodies, but none come stock like that.

Throttle bodies are not the problem.

You are SO WRONG my friend. The FWD SR20 IS NOT THE SAME AND IT WILL NOT BE THE SAME!! It is NOT possible. The block is different! (...but hey...if you want to learn the hard way...go right ahead)
