Sr20 swaps

[s14/240sask]

hey, i just wondering how much trouble so of you guys had with your sr20. is the sr20 just a straight drop in or does it need a little bit of modification like welding??and im thinking about getting a s14 blacktop for my 95 240.

it will drop right in.

do a search!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

none at all the only tough part is the wiring, use the search luke.

[s14/240sask]

go to the sr forum on the 1st forum page, they may have write ups more readily available and on top of that i'm on my work computer so i have no links to speak of here.

its all lies i tell you!! the engine dont even fit!! people been lieing to you the whole time!! No has ever put one in a 240 it just doesnt fit!!

If you use a FMIC, you have to torch a holes on both sides, 1 on the battery tray and one near the stock airbox...I just made mine biger in fact..No wielding...And if you've ever pulled an engine, the words "drop right in" are really exagerated. I put the motor and transmission in at the same time. It would have been a hella lot easier if I dropped in the motor and the reconnected the transmission..or at least it seems easier... silent drifter..Love the dave.. Good man.

i'm also considering doing this on my brand new (2 days old) 91 240. But is EVERYTHING just straight? I plan on ordering the sr20det from heavy throttle, and i'm sure the engine will swap in, as will the transmission. But my big question is, will heavy throttle supply the parts for the interior of the transmission? isn't there a trim piece and/or shift boot that the auto transmission didn't come with? I think those will be the only real fabrication...making and fitting the interior transmission trim pieces to mke it look "professional" or "finished". I appreciate any and all help.

if that is your biggest problem you are extremely lucky

The sr20det should mount in even with your ka mounts. If you get a clip you have everything you need for wiring, mounts etc...you can get clips for 1,600 from Yana performance. they guarentee their tested motors too. they are at [email protected]

trust me it is way easier to put the engine and transmission in together..... i got my transmission up, lowered in the engine, couldn't get em to go together and drop in the motor mounts at the same time.... ended up taking them both out and bolting them together on the ground.... S14PROJECT: now that it's installed go try and even get a finger or screwdriver on those top transmission bolts.... from under or over, very difficult....
