SR20DET into a Teg

Post by **9-Four-Teg** » Mon May 05, 2003 4:21 pm

Hi guys,

I'm quite familiar with nissans but ended up with an Integra. So I'm asking if it's possible to swap SR20DET FWD power into my teg, and how the mounting situation for the engine would work. I've posted on team integra but haven't got anything but whining thus far. I'd also like to know how much this costed for you sentra/G20/etc... people.

Thanks,Eric

Hey, first, engine placement is all wrong. Trannies are on different sides, if you try to use the Honda transmission, be warned that the Nissan and Honda motors rotate in opposite directions. It's TECHNICALLY not legal. Being a FWD chassis, you will run into SOOOO many problems.....OK, now that I gave you the benefit of straight talk, now I want to know, what the heck are you thinking??? Either get rid of the Teg, or put a turbo H22A up in that overglorified Civic!!! There are companies that make kits to put the H22 in your car, a built turbo H22A will be able to toss it up with ANY SR20DET anyday.

Yeah the Honda engines are exactly 180degrees different than Nissan or any other company.

I would personally just build up a GSR motor in the Teg personally. I wouldn't put in a H22A. The B18 would just be easier. The B18 will also respond to boost quite nicely.

While I agree it would be about 1000 times easier to build a GSR motor, if you want to drop in an SR, I say GO for IT!!

I'm all about innovation. And with the exception of the comment made on F&F about getting SR's for their Hondas, this would be a first to my knowledge.

The engines *do* rotate in opposite directions, but I don't see that as a problem. I mean, you are replacing everything anyway. You will most likely need custom drive axles, but that's minor.

I know somebody working on putting an SR20 into a metro. So if he can get that to work, surely you can get a teg to work with one. He hasn't gotten the metro running yet, because the project is on hold, but the motor is in....he's just got to fab up some stuff (like axles).

And Cory...Hondas aren't the only backwards motors. DSM's are backwards as well.

Hah, yeah, no intent on doing anything F&F resemblent with my car, we have way too many buckets like that in my school lot as is. Thanks for the help guys, i about got kicked off team teg just for the very speaking of this subject. Of course i wouldn't try using my transmission, i'd order a full package (preferably automatic so i don't have to swap to manual too...). Can any of you tell me where a cheap, trustworty (NOT ebay) source is for an SR motor, just checking my options considering how ridiculously expensive a GSR motor/transmission is...

Thanks again for the help and respect guys.

Well, I hate to tell ya, but that's a expensive proposition anyway you look at it. Cheese thinks it would be cool and original, and I agree, but obviously you do not have unlimited funds to do this. This is a BIG job for you, and it will be even more difficult if you try to put a Nissan automatic in it too. I thought you were talking about 5 speed Teg with a 5 speed SR. No way, lets get real, the TCU for the SR will complicate the install even more. You will need to rewire the car almost completely, except for body related wiring. You would be in over your head. The Teg guys probably can not understand your train of thought, I mean, if you want a fast Teg, why bother with SR stuff? Uniqueness will cost TOOO much. Sounds like you have a non-VTEC Teg, so you should start looking at a 5 speed swap with a GS-R motor. Yeah, I know that is super expensive nowadays, but the SR swap will be 4x more expensive. At least if you are stuck with the Teg, swap out the transmission and try to make your non-VTEC motor faster. They respond OK to header, intake, exhaust and NOS. Other option, sell the car and get a Nissan AND swap in what you really want.

Good Luck, remember, NOS is your friend;)

I think I have actually heard of someone running a SR motor in a Civic but I can't remember where now. Anything is possible with a lot of time and effort but it comes down to what you want to do. Yes it would be cool to see but I the GSR motor would be a cheaper route IMO.

Here's the info on the Civic with the DET:mad: http://www.sr20deforum.com/sho...c+DET

So unfortunately this can be done.

I've even heard of an E30 BMW 3-series with an SR20 swap...I'll try to find the thread on G20.net about it.

I've got a Fast Four's and Rotoaries video tape that has an SR20DET E30 in it. I think it breaks an axle or something though and can't run in the 1/4. It's from aussy land.

dude just do LS turbo, much better idea

Post by **Javier** » Mon May 05, 2003 4:21 pm

tru....u can make a good amount of torque with a LS-T setup.....you can even do a LS-Vtec-T setup and make a lot of power

I completely agree. How much are you willing to spend?

B18. A buddy of mine with i/h/e on his non-vtech B18A runs 15.5's

slowww

Post by **Altiman94** » Mon May 05, 2003 4:21 pm

^ you're dumb. That is quick considering it's .6 liter smaller than our engines and still faster.

Post by **Nathan** » Mon May 05, 2003 4:21 pm

It might be quick for what it is...but in the whole scheme of things it IS slow

Post by **HolyShiznit** » Mon May 05, 2003 4:21 pm

^^ Gotta agree with Nathan on that one.

why not just sell the teg and get a 240? just an opinion....

Heres another BMW

integra has so many options, H22s hate boost, it hates nitrous, and it hates superchargers, it likes to remain all motor, b18c1 the gsr motor likes boost for some reason and can run 8-10 psi with additional fuel on the stock bottom end, and the head will flow because well i think hondas flow better than most engines, regardless say b18c1 with a t3 turbo kit will easily push 300whp+ problem with this is youll snap axles day in and day out...

a buddy of mine had a H22 in a EG broke 4 axles in a month

just a thought, all my friends have hondas one thing i like better is that parts are cheaper

i saw a E36 which had a blacktop sr20det =D running somewhere in asia...
