I was considering swapping an sr20det into my car. How reliable are these motors and their tranny's? Are parts such as gaskets, water pumps, starters, alternators, etc. difficult to find. Which parts are interchangeable with the U.S. sr20de?
Uhh Mike, speak for your DET. Half of the stuff for the N/A sr20 don't fit onto the GTi-R engine. We tried putting on a Unorthodox pully set and it wouldn't fit! My dad got it to go on but they were all rubbing on the block. Also the GTi-R valve cover is made only for the GTi-R and can not be changed to another one, which is crazy!<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">Originally posted by Mike Gosselin:
Interchangeable parts: Everything. Use all the stock DE parts you can get your hands on. The only diffrence is the pistons,oil cooler,pistons squriters and of course the manifold with the honking turbo on it.
