motor options?

[NismoHead]

im thinking of starting my own 240sx project. i dont have a large budget to work with but from the info i get on the forums here it doesnt sound like its too far out of reach. i have my eye on a 91 240. my question is can i use a sr20de out of a sentra ser or an infinti g20. i know we are talking FWD vs RWD but would just the motor it self swap over. i know its ideal to have a red top sr20det but the sr20de seems to be alittle more plentiful. thanks for any help you guys can offer.

Why do you want to swap a sr20de?

Why dont you use the search button this has been covered.

Also, if you are replacing a motor then that would be electric, but if you want to swap you engine then go with a ca18det rather than an sr20de with no power. Ca18DET costs under $1000 for entire engine swap. If you need to replace a motor, there are at least 10 that I can think of as we speak ie; wiper, headlight, rear wiper, mode motor, air/mix motor, blower, sunroof, window, condensor fan, seatbelt retracter. Those are all motors. The engine is what you are looking to replace...

No, trying to put a FWD sr in a 240 is nowhere near worth the hassle.

i meant the engine. i am an electrician by trade so i often use the term motor. i didn't think it would be so critical specialy since i used the correct ENGINE names. there is usally alot more help on here than critasizum.

Again, why do you want to put that motor in? I would just put in another ka.

south windsor, eh? i'm down in meriden and if you have any specific questions or need any help, i'm usually available. that, and our little ct/new england crew is always open to new people helping us keep the beer industry alive e-mail is in profile.

I could only imagine how much work trying to fit a fwd DE into a 240 would be....

And all that work for something that's close to a stock KA? Don't even bother dude. You'd be happier with the torque of the KA.

Was trying to be a bit sarcastic, but that gets lost in translation on the interwebz. Although, to save yourself anymore headache search sr20de, and then to narrow your search, choose the 240sx/silvia section. This has been covered several times and sufficiently enough to find your answer.

i get what ur sayin i get so much critisizum on all my posts all im lookin for is some ppl that know what there talkin about you could swap the sr into ur car really there isnt much difference in a front wheel drive to rwd jus orientation really

Locked, the SR20DE in a FWD is not the same. I don't know why Nissan doesn't assign engine codes that arent shared.

But yeas its an engine not a motor, without a hassle you cant use the engine.
