[sil80drifts]

NEED HELP HERE!! I just gotten my 92 240sx coupe 3 days ago and ordered the sr20det engine dont know exactly when its getting here cuz its from japan. but when it does i was planing to do the swap my self but i really never done a swap but i have friends who have to help me just never done the sr20det swap. so i was wondering if anyone here could please!!! help me in anyway possible.. what i herd is that it bolts on just right just wireing is diffrent and things will have to be changed to the opposite side. Well i want to know what problems i would be running into doing this swap and well basicly how to do it lol and if anyone out there can tell me how to do the wireing and what exactly is changed to the opposite side. thanks please help me !

I gotta admit that you sound like you dont know much about cars and are about to get majorly screwed. But thats just my opinion.

Are you absolutely sure you'll be getting everything you need for the swap at once? Wiring harness, side mount intercooler, igniter chip, ecu, MAFS etc...? You'll probably need to upgrade the fuel pump and worry about the wiring the most. Also what SR20DET are you getting? S13,14,15? Here are some sites that may be able to help you...http://sr20.hybrids.jp/http://www.euros ... chinfo.asp <<this is useful because it has the FSM's for the SR20DET and CA18DEThttp://www.eurostreetgraphics.com/srswap.htm

These should be somewhat useful, read up! And if youve already seen all these sites, perhaps your more prepared than I thought you were.

would it be better to order a front clip for the swap? and what does a front clip usualy bring?

[SpeedRacer1]

You just want all the pieces for the swap, clips usually guarentee every piece(with the possible exception of a full wiring harness). You want the MAFS, SMIC, IG chip, ecu, basically if you can get the engine with all the pieces that arent usually available when you just buy the engine then get the engine and those pieces. Front clips do NOT have the body panals most likely. Though they may have brakes and front suspensions (and sometimes if your lucky a few aftermarket mods like a BOV, though this in itself tells you how the previous owner may have driven it).
