Yes

Same swap as a n SR20DET with less work.Engine harness need to be rewired and Tach swapped for a DOHC TACH

are you serious?

180SX's and Silvia's also came with SR20DE's they drop right in.

Yeah, but we don't waste our time importing them. The fwd ones are different in head design, mount locations, and bell housing among other things.

Sileighty is right. My friend has the DE in his 95.

But why would you want to? It is hard to find a rwd one and they make less power than a ka that you can get anywhere for dirt cheap. If your planing on building an na screamer that is different, but I doubt that someone who is asking if it would fit would be doing that.

who would you want to put an na sr in a 240 when the ka has more power. the money that you put into getting a rear wheel drive sr (if you can find one and not out of a sentre) you can put toward a ka and have even more power.
