ariascarlos1990 Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 anybody know if the SR20DE engine is a good one to swap into a 620? i might pick one up for cheap! Quote Link to comment
Greiggy Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 yes. easy to fit Quote Link to comment
fisch Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 I don't know about a 620 swap, but there are two 521 trucks on ratsun that that have attempted an SR. Again I don't know how much applies to a 620, but can't hurt to dig up the threads to see what was involved. It was alot of work! Quote Link to comment
ariascarlos1990 Posted September 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 i just picked one up for $80 and my old carb. no ECU Gonna start to build it! :D do you by any chance know where that thread is? Quote Link to comment

ariascarlos1990 Posted September 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 i was hoping for a direct link. but, thanks Quote Link to comment
nismopu Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 does it have compression? If so why rebuiild it? I dont know how many times this happens and never gets completed because rebuilds are deemed necessary. peace. Quote Link to comment
Icehouse Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 Is it a RWD SR? The front and rear wheel drive engines are slightly different. There are also no RWD trannys that fit the SR FWD engine. There is a dude that sells a bell adapter thought. Quote Link to comment
yello620 Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 For $80, something makes me think that you got a FWD sr20, and not a RWD motor. What did you get? I have an adapter that mates the FWD motor to an L series trans--For sale. Jason Quote Link to comment
Cuts metal like mad Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 l trans adapter you say??? How much?? Quote Link to comment
ariascarlos1990 Posted September 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 how much for the adapter? i think it did come from a FWD car. i was just gonna get a RWD trany from like a S13 Quote Link to comment
slodat Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 i think it did come from a FWD car. i was just gonna get a RWD trany from like a S13 As stated above, that won't work.. Quote Link to comment
lynchfourtwenty Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 the fwd engine will not bolt to rwd tranny, YELLO U HOLDIN out on me man?? haha whats the price on that adapter plate.. an can you get more.. i've been thinkin about this swap ALOT... i wanna doit.. next year.. hey i have a b13 se-r ecu, yes for a sr20.. i do not have a wiring kit tho.. i'll sell the ecu tho if you need.. if i swap a sr into my truck it will be a proper rwd one... i dont wanna deal with modifying the intake mani (cause it'll face the firewall) if i do do that it will be with enxt years income tax.. this year my se-r gets a sr20ve mmmm VVL :fu: Quote Link to comment
lynchfourtwenty Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 hey you live in portland dont ya... and you bought that sr off craigslist didnt you.. i called the guy today to buy it an he'd sold itl... was gonna put it in my sentra till i get my sr20ve.. if you need to sell it let me know.. i will buy it right now, basicly you might wanna do that cause putting a FWD engine in a RWD truck is going to be a huge pain in the ass... let me know..

lynchfourtwenty Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 i dont think so mike, when it comes to a bolt up operation usualy only SR trannys bolt to SR blocks... (from what i've researched anyways) fwd 2 fwd an rwd 2 rwd.. there are ways of usin "kits" ofcourse.. but if you have a FWD sr20 you really should use the b13 or b15 lsd trannys.. the g20 trannys are usless unless you get a rar g20t lsd tranny.. as for the rwd trannys.. hell if u can bolt it on there some how go for it.. when he decides its gonna be a pain in the ass an he wants to sell it i will buy it.. well i could buy it right now but who knows about tomorrow.. hah.. that is if its the one i think it is.. i jus need somethin to put in my se-r an that would bolt right in w/o mods.. i need somethin with 4 seats to haul the kids around in an i spun a rod bearing on my current engine.. :( Quote Link to comment
INDY510 Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 I have a FWD CA16DE and have no idea if a RWD transmission will fit this: Or if RWD motor mounts will fit: Datzenmike probably has a picture of a S12 transmission, do you think it will bolt up to this FWD CA16DE???? Quote Link to comment
Icehouse Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 Ice, will a CA18ET tranny bolt to the SR20? If so is it the FWD or RWD motor? I haven't tried that one but I doubt it. I tried to bolt the RWD SR tranny to the FWD motor and it didn't fit. The other problem with the FWD SR is that dizzy, it sticks out the back!!! One more problem to add to the equation!!! Yes standalone would work but that just adds to the project. Indy my buddy had a FWD CA18 with a RWD tranny on it, he even rewelded the mani so it would face forward. Now I don't see why the 16 would be any different. Get down to pic a part and get one!! :D We want to know the answer!! Quote Link to comment
INDY510 Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 Does this oil pan look like the RWD pan? Do CA pans hit 510 steering center links? And do you think 620 motor mounts will work? The oil filter seems kinda close Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 The reason I ask is I seem to remember someone saying something about Jeff saying a CA tranny would bolt to a SR, but I could have gotten it wrong. I do have an '85 CA18ET 5spd and it looks really small at the bell, smaller than the L or Z series I'm sure. Here's a pic: BOTTOM http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q251/datzenmike/transFS5W71BfromCA18ET85200sx001Lar.jpg[/img]"] PASS SIDE http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q251/datzenmike/transFS5W71BfromCA18ET85200sx002Lar.jpg[/img]"] Check out the tail stock ribbing like the next gen FS5W71C type. This doesn't show the bolt pattern much. Tomorrow after work I'll get some front shots so they can compare to the SR. Quote Link to comment
yello620 Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 l trans adapter you say??? How much?? Yes, an adapter that mates a FWD SR20 to a L serires transmission. Will try to get you a pic or two, hopefully tomorrow if i get my computer out of the repair shop. No pics on the wifes laptop. It has never been used, was originally purchased for a project that has now been sold. Jason Quote Link to comment
Greiggy Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 i am halfway through putting one in mine at the moment... mine is RHD though so a few thigs would be different, howver the chassis layout is basically the same. theres a thread in projects with a few pics. Quote Link to comment
lynchfourtwenty Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 Greiggy yours is RWD tho an his is FWD.. even with an adapter you still run into the intake manifold facing the firewall and the distributor contacting the firewall.. i wouldnt wanna move the engine forward any cause it would put too much weight in the front of the truck an it'd drive like crap Quote Link to comment
