worksnaDELUXE Posted September 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 It's a tough decision. At first I was upset that I did it, but now that it's said and done I'm super happy. The tranny tunnel swap is what hurt the most. But having a car that rips is priceless! From 70hp to 151whp, is a world of difference. Quote Link to comment
dimas1200datsun Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 Trust me I know what u mean.. I drive my car daily and I abuse that a12 engine I take it to Ensenada every other week and top speed in some spots 92 mph. Do u know how much am I going to spend on a swap?? Quote Link to comment
kinetisist Posted September 24, 2015 Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 can someone that has done this swap post what is needed to do this swap besides the engine. radiator tranny rear end any tips or trick learned along the way to avoid wiring issues computer options etc.... thanks Quote Link to comment
worksnaDELUXE Posted September 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 Off the top of my head: SR20DE long block & tranny Custom fab'd tranny tunnel Custom fab'd dizzy (L series/SR) Custom radiator Carb set-up (manifold, carbs) SR20 swap kit (Maddat, or fab one yourself) Fuel system Ingnition system(I used MSD 6AL) Lightned clutch flywheel (optional but recommended) Over flow tanks x2 Custom plug wiring Misc..hoses, parts, etc.. Custom or fitted header(My header was custom made by BP in San Jose) Custom or fitted exhaust (My exhaust was custom made by BP in San Jose) Front sway bar My rear end is stock, at 150/60ishWHP my rear end is fine. I'm doing head work next year, at that point I'll be swapping in a H165 Ute rear-end. Also keep in mind, you'll need suspension as well. If I think of more, which there is, I'm update this post. All together the swap was about 6K. Not including the car. If a shop does it, probably about 8-9K. Performance Inframe Tuning in Napa, helped with a lot of the swap. They've also worked on my SR20VE 510 back in the day. This swap took me about 2 years, maily because I didn't have all the parts collected that I needed, and it took forever to figure out if I wanted to cut my tunnel. Quote Link to comment
