How hard would it be for me to do the sr20det swap myself and some friends.and what would i need besides engine,and all the things that come with the sr20det.

Thanks

How mechanically inclined are you and your friends? It is a simple swap (as simple as a swap would be) You have a SOHC 240sx right? The wiring for the ECU is alittle harder for those, but can be done. You will need all the normal tools and a engine hoist to install the engine. Here is a site with step by step instructions. Read over it and then see if you think you can do it. <a href="http://www.eurostreetgraphics.com/srswap.htm" target='_blank'>http://www.eurostreetgraphics.com/srswap.htm</a>

Will me and my friend's my not be the best but we have fix some cars and trucks.I have changed tran's'motor in a boat 4 time's and rebuilt a outdrive volvo 280 leg dont know if you know what that is.
Would the sr20det swap be just as easy as puting in a ka24de engine.

Thanks

For sure. Unless you've done one before, pay the experts.

This coming from the person that has never done one, just pays a shop. If your mechanically incline why not give it a shot? Hardest part is tracking ever single little part you need. Of course you could just be like IceTekGuy and post a question on the forum everytime your shop runs into the tiniest snag

How long has your car been in the shop Ice?

get a front clip and not have to worry about it, that's going to be the easiest way

my240likenoother · 12-20-2001, 08:00 PM

i heard the you have to do something different to the stearing cause its for the 180 and not the 240 but if its me ( i have changed 2  5.0 moters ) but my car goes to the shop if you do it yourself than you dont get the waranty
that you would get from a pro.
my .02

IceTekGuy · 12-21-2001, 12:35 AM

its been there for 2 and a half months, but the point is... i see what my mechanic goes through, while i help him...  and its just a big bitch CA18Guy, so dont make it seem like i sit back and dont do shit...

and the column has to be relocated to the other side i think is what the steering thing is about, well not relocated inside the car, but the shaft or something like that... ill find out if you want

BadBoy · 12-21-2001, 01:04 AM

Maybe i will just put in the ka24de motor when i can find one.It sounds like it will be just a easy as puting in the motor that came with the car.If anyone is selling a ka24de motor email me [email protected] or if anyone knows where i can get one for a cheap price that run's let me know please.

Thank's

P.S ca18guy i like the picture under your name the girl look cool.

hehe Did you go by Brian's yesterday? I was plaining on it but I got a call from the body shop instead. I think you can figure out the rest <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>
