i was under the impression that this was a technical forum does anyone

[fafdadsf]

does anyone know anything about doing an engine swap for a nissan 240sx from a ka24de to a sr20det.

[AZhitman]

You're correct. There's more info here on KA > SR swaps than anywhere on the web.

Start here: http://www.240sxTech.com, then read the SR engine forum...

[redtop91]

LOL. Maybe the bright red button is too technical for you?

[fafdadsf]

i am having an ignition problem with the sr20det i only have spark on number 1and3 but all my coil packs are good i need to know where the signal comes from to trigger the coil packs.

[redtop91]

All signals originate with the ECU. Are you talking about the distributor?

[fafdadsf]

the engine doesn't have a distributer there has to be a pickup from something like a cam sensor or crank sensor to tell the coil packs when to fire the computer has to get its signal from somewhere.

[redtop91]

I'm pretty sure there is one and if you don't have one that would be your problem LOL.

[fafdadsf]

maybe this is too technical for you. how can an engine have a distributer when it has a seperate coil for each individual spark plug that is why they call it coil over. distributerless

[fafdadsf]

that is a picture of a cam sensor not a distirbuter a distributer distributes and directs the power

[redtop91]

LOL. Too technical for me? Are you sure your CAS is plugged in there cupcake? You can start by RTFM if you are going to be an as$. http://bumnah.com/fsms/S14/S14_SR20DET_FSM.pdf

[fafdadsf]

do you know of any way i can test my ecu and ignitor chip with out putting in in another car mine is the only one in my town with this swap

[redtop91]

I have a spare ECU that you can test. You just have to pay shipping both ways. Any mods done to the car?

[fafdadsf]

no just the engine swap

[redtop91]

My ECU is for a Z32 MAF. =/

[fafdadsf]

I have a few maf sensors so ill have to check if it matches your comp do you have an email address i can email you later on?

[redtop91]

[email protected] I'm getting off work now though.

[fafdadsf]

okay thanks didn't mean to be so rude you are the only one so far that has been able to help me.

[redtop91]

The tech forums don't get much traffic. The RWD SR forum would be your best bet. I had originally assumed you were talking about a KA. Ionno. Long night.

[fafdadsf]

ill try that other forrum thanks but i will probably email you in a few days if i could use that ecu.

[180fan]

if 1 and 3 are firing, i'd suggest doing a quick continuity test across the ignitor.

People get tired of telling other people to search.I guess it`s my turn...SEARCH using the search button. Most all questions have been asked at one time or another from 2003 on.Ask the right questions and you shall find your answers. I did my swap using "project car magazine", google, and searching this and other forums and of course a lifetime of doing my own mechanical repairs and maintenance.

[Fahaka]

I had the same problem on my car after the SR swap and it was the ignitor...but also check to make sure the ecu harness/socket/plug is tight.
