How difficult would it be on a scale of 1 to 10 to drop a FWD SR20DET into a 1990 Sentra 2 door? Could it bolt in or is there a lot of fabrication work involved?

Should be a pretty direct bolt in, as the SR20DE was in the SE-R just a year later, and the added T wouldn't change much. I could be wrong. Good luck!

Yeah, my friend has a 90 Sentra with an SR20DET in it. Car is a beast, like 400 HP. He lives in New Orleans. His is a 4 door though.

Yeah, he let me drive it around the track at the 03 SE-R convention. I was having problems grinding gears....he had mentioned something about getting a new tranny soon. Glad to hear he got it.

BTW....he's probably mentioned me before....I'm the one who gave him a ride to Phoenix for the 02 SE-R convention :)

I've been at every convention since 2000. I had the silver Spec V running in the instructor class.

Well, I'm not sure which track it is for sure we are using, but the official hotel is in Lancaster, CA (for the track event), and then in Arcadia, CA for the rest of the weekend.
