G20 Question
Will an engine from an '01 G20 drop into a '91 chassis? It's the engine/transmission/ecu. I'm guessing yes. Any input?

91-93.5 in the G is OBD1, this is a high port motor, 94-96 is a lowport motor, 99-02 is a roller rocker motor, the later 2 are OBD2, you can find plenty of low mileage SR20DEs around, but if you wanna do somethin interesting try a SR20VE, thats what im currently working on putting in my G, the highport motor was changed to a lowport becuase of poor emmisions and idle quality, and also recieved newer injectors. High port versus low port

To set the record straight, 'high port' or 'low port' describes the intake manifold's entry point into the cylinder head. If the cylinder head's intake ports are located toward the top of the head, it is considered a high port head. If the ports are located toward the bottom, it is a low port head.
The high port head was in all NX2000s as well as the '91 thru '93 Sentra SE-R. The switch to the low port head on U.S. Nissan models (I'm not sure about Infinitis) occurred in 1994. All SR20DE engines installed in Nissans from 1994 to present have been the low port model.
If you're *still* not sure whether you have a high port or low port head, look between the valve cover and the firewall. If you see an object that looks kind of like a log (which is the surge tank), you have a low port head. If you see 4 "tubes", you have a high port head.
