Hey guys I have a 1992 Stanza with the KA24E. Will a FWD SR20DET fit into this car?? I havent heard much on people swapping motors on the stanzas. Thanks

Research tells me that since the chassis of a 92 Stanza is a U12 it should swap in. It appears that because B chassis guys swap JDM U12 SR20DETs all the time, your best bet is to use either a front clip from a U12 Bluebird or use a combination of B13 and U12 parts to make it fit.

I think you'd be using B13 front axles and an SE-R transmission as well as a B13 SE-R ECU tuned for a BB motor by JWT, you may have to finagle the motor mounts as well, but I'd think it'd be pretty close to drop-in-and-go.
