SR20VE into SR18DE Primera

omaritech · 07-23-2006, 01:33 AM

Ok guys, this might be a weird one, I finally have my SR20VE coming, just engine, ecu,harness and i want to put it my P11 Primera that has in a SR18DE . Yes a SR18DE. Pretty nice engine, well after all it is a Nissan.

But this is the thing, i want to put in the VE with my current auto tranny, with a tranny oil cooler. Don't want to go manual yet. Just engine swap. Now what problems am i going to run into with swap and the harness, I am not sure how different the SR20 vs SR18 harness is. Everything i have read is about a SR20DE to VE swap, nothing about the SR18 to VE swap. Please Help. Need some advice.

Should i just swap in complete VE harness and ecu and then use something else to activate cams?

U can look at car here,

I don't see any reason it'd be any different from a SR20 conversion. They're the same basic engine after all. All sensors etc should be in the same place.

Never seen the P11 but if it's SR18 I don't see why you can't just bolt up you old trans to the new motor and factory harness.
