I am thinking of starting a Project S13 w/ a red top SR20DET, probably in the near future. I need to know which year(s) would be the easiest to swap a SR20 into. Also, does it matter if it is an automatic or 5-speed? Thanks.
you would be better off with a 91+ model. The SOHC's RPM Guage won't work with the Sr's wiring (ecu). You would have to swap out to the DOHC's guages anyways.

Oregon is ok, it kinda sucks, the only thing to do here is work on cars, and the only real car to work on is my friends dads RX7, but that is handful. I think my dad and I are going to be driving down there for the convention, but we'll have to see. What happened to N/A? you went turbo? 12.5, thats a somewhat decent time :P

why would the 91 and up be easier?????????
please explain in detail if u have an answer............
89-93 is the exact same except for sohc and dohc
and the 89-90 is way cheaper

Now back to your cage monkey.
If you haven't noticed I have a 89 with SR. So I know what I'm talking about.

the speedo on the 89-90 goes to 120mph the 91+ only goes to 110mph and just get jap tach or aftermarket
ps =junkyard or if you can cap it off and it will still be ok. a little stiffer but still drivable
newer car yes true but look at the price difference
the monkey is loose so watch out
I never said anything about the speedometer. The 89-90 tach will not work with the sr. You will either have to swap to the 91 up, jdm cluster, or tach adapter from msd.
yes ps can be capped but why? junkyard will have what you need but yet another small inconvenience.
Older car will have (usually) much more maintenance involved to get it in a good running condition. Sometimes it's worth it to just get a 91 up.
i havent done the swap yet but just from my research, swaping into a 91-up goes alot smoother. if you can do it go with a newer one and the look better too.
<----matt240DET the power stereing is a problem on the 89's????? lol i had no problem getting that outta the way, i just ripped the fu*ker off, i can see power steering in mommies minivan but c'mon now..lol j/k
most of the thing i have read says you can keep your power steering you just have to rigg it up alittle with the lines., as with the radiator, ecu, etc. thing are a little backward since it is a passengerside drivin car ! but it is nothing you cant make work. and if can wait about 3 months, ill let you know how it goes!
