Difficulty of SR20 Swap???? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

cwc2k1 · 06-13-2003, 02:54 AM

Hey guys, I'm new to 240s and an considering buying an 89-94. If I do, I'll fully intend on an SR20 swap. I'm fairly inexperienced when it comes to cars, and I know it will take a very good deal of reading to learn everything that I'll need to know to pull something like this off, so what I want to know is exactly how difficult is a swap like this? I know you're not Honda guys but if you know anything about them then I'll ask this....how does it compare to a B16 swap in a civic/crx? There's not anything insanely impossible involved to where you'd highly recommend that I not try this is there? Thanks

Use the search on this one, this topic comes up often.

first use red button at top of screen to assist you so as to minimize the flaming that can occur on this board

second it is right between a CRX ZC engine swap and a CRX VTEC swap

Research.....last time I checked that was something along the lines of retaining imformation about someone or something in order to learn or gather more knowledge of it....wait....that sounds alot like what I'm doing in this thread.....it is! Thanks but no thanks numbnuts

Even though the search is the way to go, one very important thing. Make sure you have a complete wireing harness and ecu.

Get a front clip, they are usually complete (typing with grease all over me in the middle of a clutch change)

I suggest searching for and reading every single thread you can find on swapping in the SR...

Write down every single thing that needs to be be made, modified, or bought. Also write down any other cruial info (you be the judge) and approximate costs.

Then decide if you have the time, money, will power, and man poer to do the job.
