: GA16DE to SR20DE swap
dono200sx 06-13-2002, 10:25 AM What all is likely to need to be replaced if I were to convert me GA16 to an SR20? I'm trying to figure out what will save me the most money. I'm either gonna do the conversion like I have talked about doin since I joined, or just sell my SE and get an SE-R?
Are there any good SR20DE vendors in the area that can get me the motor reasonably cheap? Or am I going to have to ship it?
Chris Garrison 06-13-2002, 11:18 AM TALK TO JAMES VICK HE CAN GET YOU A MOTOR FOR A REAL CHEAP. IF I WERE YOU I WOULD JUST GO WITH THE 11/1 JDM MOTOR.
dono200sx 06-13-2002, 12:12 PM will do... btw, why do you reccomend that motor? i'm just curious... dont know much about the various motors...
Benny Boy 06-13-2002, 01:07 PM Don't talk to me. I know nothing! :D I'm still in the middle of my GA16 to GTi-R SR20DET.

tommy 06-13-2002, 01:12 PM Ben, when is that thing gonna be running? How many years has it been now? ;)j/k I have been waiting very patiently to take a ride in that thing.
By the way, are you going to be at that Austin meet on the 22nd?
dono200sx 06-13-2002, 01:28 PM Hey what do ya'll think of converting a 94 240SX over to the SR20? I'm thinking RWD...
Mike sr20de 06-13-2002, 01:31 PM now that would be a better swap. talk to the guys over at Boost factor. they know all about it.
dono200sx 06-13-2002, 01:45 PM lol. ya thats the impression I got from the last rally over there...
dono200sx 06-13-2002, 02:08 PM What are some advantages/disadvantages between the classic SE-R and the 200SX SE-R? I know I can get the classics cheaper, but is there much of a difference in performance? As of right now I am think about going with a 95 or 96 200SX SE-R. I personally like the looks of those better than the classics, but looks are a minor detail. i'm all about performance...
Chris Garrison 06-13-2002, 02:17 PM THE CLASICS THAT INDEPENDENT REAR SUSPENTION AND I THINK THERE LIKE 200 LBS LIGHTER. IF YOU ARE LOOKING JUST TO MAKE A CAR GO FAST THAT BUY A CLASSIC I WISH THAT I HAD INSTEAD OF A B14. YOU CAN FIND A CLEAN CLASSIC FOR LIKE 2000 BUX.
Dswtflip4u 06-13-2002, 02:20 PM i say if you want to go really fast, go with an s13, s14 RWD.

Are you just looking for a regular ol' SR20DE?

Its going on two years now, but whose counting right? ;)
And if the meet is the one in the park off 2222, I probably won't be there. A friends b-day party is that night and we're either going to sugar's or having a party all day on the lake. As much as I love Nissans and you guys, its hard to pass up boobies! :D

dono200sx 06-19-2002, 09:37 AM Well it's looking like I am going to be trying to buy an SE-R instead of doing the swap. It's less of a hassle that way. But I am still trying to find some vendors in the area for a newer engine... like less than 50k on the engine/tranny. I'm wanting to rebuild that one from the ground up... tighter compression, bigger feul injectors, polished heads, etc. I want to tweak as much power out of just the engine as possible. By the time it is done, I am hoping to have something else for a daily driver i.e. G20/G35. So comfort wont be an issue. The end of that is a year or two off though...maybe more.
tommy 06-19-2002, 10:51 AM Why do you need a newer engine if you are going to build it up? You might as well use any engine then.
dono200sx 06-19-2002, 10:55 AM i'm thinking less strain already has been put on the block and trans case... i figure i would be less likely to throw a rod or something...b/c i know once i have it rebuilt she's gonna want to go all or nuthin. (not to mention me) :D but as is the case with just about anything, that is subject to change without notice... other than that, i can't think of anyother advantages

I've got a SR20DE in my G with 60k would you want to buy it?
97SENTRASER 06-19-2002, 08:26 PM MY car was a swap from a GA16 to SR20. MY friends did it while I was at work one night.. Nismodriver here on the forum was there and he would be more knowledgeable about it that I am. I know there are a few wires that need to be redone but other than that it was pretty much and in and out procedure.
I've been swapped for over a year know trouble free.

wow you have some pretty cool friends, damn I have some friends that bitch about just helping pull a motor out of a trunk of a car and into the trunk of another.

tommy 06-19-2002, 10:18 PM Wow, you do have good friends. I got totally raped by the shop that did mine. They charged me for parts they didn't even use. How's that for service? They even used my old GA16 ECU!! (even though they had me pay for an SR20 ECU)
