lMaskl Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 I have a 1971 toyota corona and im looking to swap a sr20 into it and im wondering what is the total cost with Mounts and everything. Quote Link to comment
hosestop@msn.com Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 6k for starters. Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 I doubt very many of us here on the Datsun forum have swapped SR20s into Toyota Coronas... theres no way we would know what "everything' would cost. You need to search the SR20 builds here to get a price range that we have and compare it to what you will need for your car. This is no where near a direct fit. Expect high dollar. 6-8K easily to start. Edit: Hosestop beat me to a price. 1 Quote Link to comment
ArmlessMechanic Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 A lot. The motor can run from $1,500 to $3k depending on which one you get and what all you get with it (wiring, ecu, tranny etc.) Plus you have to think about all of the modifications that you'll need to make it work in your platform of choice.

Zeusimo Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 Keep In Mind You Can't Just Swap A Motor And Be Done You Will Need Upgraded Brakes And Steering/Suspension 2 Quote Link to comment
Filthy_ Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 Plan on like 10k, and 2 years of work. 2 Quote Link to comment
Kirden Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 I looked into an SR20, then figured up 8-10k for a proper swap. Another thing to keep in mind is many of the SR20 builds out there have ended up needing a rebuild either before install or soon after. Price a "swap" (~3k for full swap) add custom parts (mounts, wiring, possible crossmember and sway bar,driveshaft, and maybe a steering setup) tack on a rebuild (500-1500 depending on parts available and if you do the work yourself or not) and add all the suspension and braking upgrades. Now factor in how much time you have to work on the car and what work you can do yourself. In the end the cost may not be worth it. If you decide to do the swap get a thread started once you get everything ready. Would love to see this done. Quote Link to comment

Bob3 Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 So does datsun mazdas count. :confused: If I was building a Mazda and putting Datsun stuff in it, I would not feature it here! All of my cars on this site are Datsuns. They have engine / suspension transplants, but they are Datsuns! If you have a problem with my builds speak up, I can feature my work elsewhere! :fu: . 1 Quote Link to comment

I have been wanting to buy a Supra MKIV for this reason, swap the BEAMS 3SG into that car and make it a GT500 replica, since those of you in the know, already are aware that the supra was NEVER RACED BY TOYOTA WITH A 2JZ. it was raced in gt500 with the 3sg beams and the 1UZ v8 EDIT: toyota also raced it with the T engine, inline 4.

MicroMachinery Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 I wanna see this build, but yeah.. it should be featured in the Non-Datsun projects section.. that way it'll be easier for me to find it than amongst the 100s of 510 and 1000s of 620 builds. Quote Link to comment

Dont hold your breath. One post, one sentence members dont ever follow through when asking these types of questions. Id like to see it get built as well... Quote Link to comment

Id like to see it get built as well... everyone wants to swap everything into everything else in the japanese world, even the god aweful LS1. it gets a little old if you ask me, nobody sticks with a stock engine. I mean I can see why in the 240sx (no offense KA guys) cause the stock engine isnt that great, but I frankly dont really get the KA24 swaps into datsuns, arguable the engine isnt that much better than an L series, and I have built them (probably my least favorite engine ever). before you all say "ohh but its got DOHC and crossflow heads" so? so do alot of engines, that didnt make them better either so what makes a KA so great. then the answer is "fuel injection" well you can do that on any engine for cheaper than the swap sooooooo....... yea.......

On the specific topic of KAs they can be had for the same price as a lot of L-series engines. Its also way more powerful than and L-series youre going to find and thats in stock condition. I dont personally see leaving an L in my Dime, but I see the draw of KAs. Its not just a single answer. Its a combination of all those factors you listed. Price, power, attainability, EFI, ease of install... it all adds up to a good swap. But youre correct in the fact that everyone seems to want to swap everything. Like 90% of new members (myself when I first signed up) have SR plans. Its ridiculous. Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 If you have to ask how much it costs, you probably don't have the money :lol: Just sayin Good luck, tho. Better off going with a KA swap imo. Plenty of power. Quote Link to comment

Dirttrack510 Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 I personally would keep this car all yota, but it's your car..... This really should be in the non datto build pages though. I really do like coronas, but this is a datto page. ;) 1 Quote Link to comment
captaingamez Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 yes everyone wants to do sr and ka swaps, idk I like the SR engine, i just am not a fan of the KA. and I like the L better than both. If i was gonna go crazy I would do a CA or an RB. but that would be a serious decision, I like original engine series with larger size, EX. l16 for an l20, l24 for an l28. Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 This whole thread is irrelevant since Im pretty sure that OP isnt coming back. 1 Quote Link to comment
