With Money being no option, would an SR20 swap be possible? I'm ingorant on this subject

 

i dont think the sr would have enough torque to get the max moving.

 

Your going to have a lot of trouble mounting it properly. Also, you are also going to go crazy when it comes to Electrical wiring.

 

GRacias guys. Pardon my french, it's a bit rusty. DO any of you guys have sound bytes of your rides.? i've been going insane lookingo for sound files or a max.

 

I've got sound clips of my max.

 

Wasn't there someone on here a while ago who genuinely said he'd try to do a SR20DET (or DETT) swap and would let us know how it goes? All this talk about the SR20 has bells ringing in my memory....

 

Damn all these engine swap threads are driving me insane

Now at least this one is interesting. A Sr20det swap into a 3-gen is certainly doable. since it's so much smaller size is note really a factor. Intially I was concerned about the torque but stock these things put out 200hp and something like that in torque. Hell that's about what the VG puts out. Now since 250hp is easy and 300hp+ is certainly possible, it opens the door at least for discussion. It would probably take off about 100-150lbs off the total weight of the car in the best location(the front end)

Of course there would have to be custom engine mounts, possiblity of a bellhousing adaptor and the usual wiring nightmare, but hey if it was easy, everyone would have done one!

If I were to really consider a 4 cylinder engine swap to a maxima, I would have to really consider the FJ20-T. It puts out more hp stock but it's a much rarer engine. It sits at about 300hp STOCK.

Oh and if you have to ask such a basic question as "is it possible?", it's probably ain't for ya. Pony up the dough and pay someone. But wait until they stop laughing first for swapping a 4 cylinder into a car that's comes with a 6 cylinder! hehe. But hey, my buddy put a L20B(Datsun 2.0) into an old BMW 530i or something. That guy was nuts!

 

or just buy a 89 240 and drop a sr20det into that.. and you`ll be running 13-14's

 

How did you get that GT-R in your rear panel?? Is it photoshop?

 

its not photoshopped

i opened it up, took a while to do it

 

So when are you going to do a write up? I gotta know how to open that puppy up so I can put in some Type R badges! No...But seriously, you're gonna have to post to tell us the procedure.

 

yeah that was me and things are still on track for it!

FJ20? Hmmm...what is that exactly? Which car? I'm not familiar with that one....i'm going for unique here....

 

Just do a search on Google or something. You will be amazed.

Ok i've spent a fair amount of time looking , but overall i'm not seeing a huge reason for me to do that over an Sr....Could u give me some more info?

 

I'll agree with Jeff.. BUT like Jeff I also think this one is interesting.. at least it wasn't "can I convert my max to RWD and put in a SR20DETT or RB26DETT... lol...

As Jeff says entirely possible with enough money.. also mentioned is the lightened front weight.... this could be good for overall balance of the car. Also depending on how the SR20 driveline sat it could allow you to have the motor situated further back in the chasis for even better weight distribution..... I can't remember what stock weight dist for the max is.. anyone know? Hmmm summer project?? **** NO!!! I've got bigger/better things to do other than fudge with something like this..... pay me enough money and deposit your car and a SR20DET (FWD model) w/ trans, ECU/harness, etc outside my shop and we'll talk

Hey Be nice! I ain't that bad, i'm well aware that an s?? engine won't go in....i am just doing me part to add a unique vehicle to the forum... But anyways...you own a shop? Hmmmm....where? Got an average of what u might charge to do it (with me supplying all parts of course)? I've got a guy who's going to do it but he apparently is going to be in Cali for the next few months....if u've got the right price....

 

[QUOTE]Originally posted by ObsidianIce69
[B]What I meant.. lol.. I have no prob w/ someone saying something about motor swaps.. but I like them to be "realistic"..... the SR motor is a valid swap that "could" happen.. (well on paper anyways).. there are ALOT of issues to address (which tranny to use? how will it mount? Motor/trans mounts and where to put them?... accessory mounting, etc, etc, etc, etc...).. The shop is "my" toy... a friend of mines place really but I have mostly unlimited access to anything I want to do out there.. including full paint facilities... While I'd love to say "sure I'll do it for XXXX dollars just bring the car" I can't say I would want to undertake that sort of swap.. I've currently got a couple of other projects going that are going to demand some time... (my wrecked 90 max is back together and awaiting paint... I have a 78 mercury thats getting a warmed over 302 roller.. I need to do some body work on a family members corolla.. I'm working on some "products" I might sell to those on .org, etc...... tell you what offer me a nice round number with several zeros on the end and we'll talk...

 

$2.00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000000

Deal?

 

Ahh for you Jeff............. F++K NO!

 

From what i see it will be the sr tranny that will be used but we shall see, rumor has it that there are several similarities between the sr tranny, the VG (not VE) tranny and even the stanza tranny...Accessory mounting? Shoule not be too hard either. Hmmm...full paint facilities ...interesting. Anyways i'm sure there will be a million different issues with the swap , which is why i'm waiting till i have access to another car in about a month here

 

doesnt make sense, why waste the time and money to put a sr in a maxima.. just buy a 240 and put a sr in that.. save you time money and headaches, but if you must.. the sentra fwd tranny will work with the sr20det engine.. if your gonna put that engine in the max.. i still say it wont have enought torque to pull such a heavy car.

 

Its no different than saying "why waste your time trying to put skyline tails in your max or trying to paint your max some weird color..... its all about being original/different.. the automobile is not only a means of transportation (you as an "enthusiast" should know that).. it is also an extension of ones personality...... in case you haven't noticed there are a whole lot of people in the world who like to dress, think, live differently, etc from others... in the world of automobiles its no different............ hell some people just do it because its "fun".... heaven forbid someone should try to do something different than "OEM" and the "norm"...

 

thats not what im trying to say... he can do what ever he wants to his car thats fine with me.. but im just saying that an sr motor in the max, isnt really worth it... a vg-t would be a better choice since a lot of things will fall in place.. a sr isnt Visible, but the vgt is

 

no offense but has anyone ever thought of buying a r34gt vspec-ii and dropping it in a max. granted you would have to custom add the all wheel drive system but if your wanting original you could have a one of a kind. I looked into to it but there is no one in the U.S. who sells just the motor. Now you could buy it in japan with the drivetrain and all wheel drive system. Then send the motor to motorex and they can make it street legal by emissions standards or hope you live where vet isn't required but again you would need a massive acct and it would probably just be cheaper to get a skyline.

 

if you look under the car of a maxima.... there is no room for a drive shaft.. one speed bump.. boom.. you need another drive shaft..

 

thats not what im trying to say... he can do what ever he wants to his car thats fine with me.. but im just saying that an sr motor in the max, isnt really worth it... a vg-t would be a better choice since a lot of things will fall in place.. a sr isnt Visible, but the vgt is [/B][/QUOTE]

Now why do you think that an Sr would be a waste? the engine i'm getting stock has 230 horses stock 209 ft/lbs of torgue.......hmmm...i believe that that's a little more than i have in my VG right now....and more than a VE...and that doens't even count the fact that i'm modding the engine before it even gets into my car..... And who cares about the 300z swap? it's been done before, i want the sr because it's a DAMN good motor and it's unique.

 

This remind me of something. Anybody read last month SCC (or Superstreet, dont remember) ? someone guy(or guys ) put a SR20DETT (or RB26DETT) in a Supra. that's funny as hell!

 

Why did you bring back this old thread!?! Let it die!!!

 

most likely it was o get it in the 4cyl racing class over in japan.

 

would the ca18det be a better choice than the sr20? i've heard you can pull more power out of those than the sr's because the ca's are iron block with aluminum heads and sr's are all aluminum. i don't know, just what i've heard.

 

Don't know, who pay attention to the date of the last post. I just saw it in the general forum the first page (don't know why) and you blame me? you think I read all those threads all the way to Jan this year????

 

I wouldn't want a SR20DET in a maxima, the car is just to damn heavy. Since I'm actually doing a SR20 motor swap (haha) I know what you have to go through. Its not worth it to use a 4cylinder. The SR20 has about 40-50lb-ft of torque less than a VG30ET running the same turbo + boost. Besides hardcore people use custom VG33's in high powered Z31's.

 

Yes, the Top Secret Supra with a RB26DETT. 1000+ hp, carbon fiber body work, 200+ mph on public roads. Gotta love it..

 

Even better when you have 10min of video footage of Top Secret's Supra.

 

True dat. The Max Power one where they try to go 200+ on the A1 in England? Been there, done that..

 

I check and I think is the SR20DET supra also from top secret. 650hp 4 cylinder

So, with money, anything is possible!

 

This is the one Nevin, and I are talking about..

BTW Nevin, your front wheels are on the wrong sides..

 

That's what happens when you let someone else do work on your car.. they **** it up..
