If anyone could help me out and tell me what the best sr20det for my 240sx is, or if anyones selling one with very low mileage. Just the s14 sr20det..
or can you tell me a good website or place to get one,?

[yoozef]

i have a built one for sale, but not sure if you're looking for a built one

[Joeysx]

Yes, I'm looking for a built one, was it shipped from japan built?

Whoa... You really need to do some research. Click on the FAQ at the top of this forum and read EVERYTHING, as well as going to every link.

Whoa....

What this man said.

If someone tells you that an engine is coming from Japan, and it's built... they are either selling you a $20,000 Tomei engine or a lie. Some people get lucky and have upgrades on their motors when they come from the supplier, but those are flukes of luck.

[Joeysx]

ok, nevermind that, but how much are you selling the the built engine for? and how many miles on it

Done the swap, bought my engine through Japan Motor Import, and compared to other reviews over other engine dealers, is the best engine yet. I have had NO problems with any of it - Just the stuff I touched So defiantly check them out, talk to Patrick if you can - Really cool guy who knows his stuff. I lucked up and got a lightened flywheel and aftermarket clutch with mine!

[Joeysx]

thanks man i will look that up

[Joeysx]

Transmission: hydraulic? can you please explain this to me. i just looked on Japan Motor Import and a great price for a s14 sr20det but what does it mean when it says hydraulic Transmission

[CRyan]

Ha, I've never noticed that. . .Hydraulic would be an automatic transmission. . .but they sent me 5 speed. I'm sure its just a typo, like I said great customer service and I got a very solid engine.

[Joeysx]

yeah, your probbly right, i should call them first just to clarifly it.. And to make sure it does come with everything I would need to swap it right?

I still think you're in over your head. Swapping an SR isn't as simple as just sitting it in and hooking everything up. You'll need wiring done as well. Most likely, your stock KA mounts are s*** anyway, so you're going to need to pick up some motor mounts. The list continues with:
Walbro 255
Downpipe
Clutch
Flywheel (At least resurfacing)
Either a radiator shroud or some efans.
An SR radiator (I recommend a mishimoto or koyo, but that's all opinion)
A front mount intercooler along with piping. (You'll most likely want to pick up your bov at this point and make sure your hotpipe already has the flange for it.)
This list gets bigger if you plan on doing anything more than stock.
When thinking about your budget, don't forget to count in fluids.

I'm not by any means trying to steer you away from the SR swap. I just want you to understand what you're getting into. Some of the stuff on my list isn't always needed, such as clutch and flywheel. But why wouldn't you go ahead and change them while they're out of the car? It may also be a good time to swap your timing chain. Like I stated before, do some research before jumping into this. I spent day after day reading threads in the SR forum before buying my swap, and I still sit and read for hours.

[Joeysx]

I understand that, but I'm going to do the swap soon. I read a few articles on how to install it. I'm going to get the motor and then see what I need, thanks though for the list, Ill look into it

[Joeysx]

PyR0NiAk, since you know way more then me about the sr swap then i do, no sarcasm at all, tell me should i buy a complete s14 sr20det, and see what i would need after i buy the sr?

[CRyan]

LOL I got this one pyro.

Yes. There are some things that are "preliminary" for the swap, but then there are other things that might be missing, need replacing, etc.

Granted I went quite minimal on my swap to keep it relatively stock, I would also suggest the same things pyro did.

P.S., I sent my harness to Yury with Wiring Specialties. I suggest the same if you are not electronically inclined as myself (still learning). You can't be that, what, 15 years of experience?

[Joeysx]

Lol, To be clear that was a yes to buying the engine? also if that is a yes, should i get it off of Japan Motor Import? also cryan was your engine clean when you got it like no rusting.
