Minagera Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 I know i am going to get harped on about this, but a friend of mine is building an sr20de (t), and they motor is a pretty stout design. It has a girdle for and it is a DOHC engine run off a chain. There are just as much aftermarket parts for it as the 4G63. What do you guys think of silvia sr20det, silvia trans, with custom driveshaft to conquest rear? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minagera Posted February 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 If you look, the engine and transmission should like up about right for the tunnel and shifter. http://www.a-oktw.com.tw/new%20pics/NEW%20INVENTORY%20A/NISSAN%20UP%20DATE/NISSAN%20SILVIA%20S15%20ENGINE%20PACKAGE%20ECU%20MT%20WIRING%20A%20(2).jpg Sorry for the size Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boostedz Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 Just for that reason, to swap something in that would need much modification and would put out a good amount of power. For about 3k you could have motor transmission and components needed, not to mention your own stand alone through AEM or the like. I think it would be a good swap, and god giving luck to me and a good shell close by, you might see that from me. Good luck if you decide to go this route.

smog Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 Would be a easier swap than mine, and definately a good one. The only thing you might have to deal with is shelding the master cylinder, and I dont know if the sttering box with interfere with the turbo on that.

The only thing you might have to deal with is shelding the master cylinder, and I dont know if the sttering box with interfere with the turbo on that. With that Engine and Trans combo, I would try getting the rack and pinion from a 180sx, or 240sx, and see if I could get it to work. It would defiently be a costly swap, but I don't think the body modification would be that great amount like the 1jz... I am doing more research on it, and trying to find if it has been done before.

smog Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 technically you dont have to do anything but pound the firewall out for a 1jz swap, I just figured I would go the extra distance and balance the engine over the crossmember a bit better. SR should be an easy swap though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SR should be an easy swap though. I don't think it should be any harder than a 4G swap. Maybe the fab work on the trans, but still. Of course if I try for the 180sx (240sx) rack and pinion, which probably won't work without swapping all the suspension, it will take longer.

smog Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 4g swaps are just plain easy, this would be a bit more work since you would have to fab some engine mounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minagera Posted February 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2006 4g swaps are just plain easy, this would be a bit more work since you would have to fab some engine mounts. Do forget the exhaust is on the wrong side of the engine, but yea the mounts I don't think will be too bad. Just make an adapter plate from the block to the stock starquest mounts. There should be enough room. The exhaust it was is going to get me. Probably toast my brake booster. We shall see!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Furious Posted October 5, 2006 Report Share Posted October 5, 2006 sr20s are kinda low on torque 240s can get away with cuz they way nothing but starions are pretty heavy the exhaust manifold and turbo tuck nicely against the engine i think your brake booster will prlly be alright Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starquest86 Posted October 5, 2006 Report Share Posted October 5, 2006 Just for your viewing pleasures it has been done before... http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l264/Starquest86/Cars/srswap.jpg Not to mention it looks like it fits in there quite well...

bigj Posted December 8, 2006 Report Share Posted December 8, 2006 well let me start by saying hello to everybody cuz I am new here. Ok the reson I am here is because My brother got him self a conquest and we need an engine for it. he actualy own this car before and hesold it to a friend about 2yrs ago. his friend took the engine out and let my bro get back the body for free.

MainstreaM Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 No one has done it stateside. Check with www.austarion.com I'd go with Mitsubishi 4g swap since it is all compatable with the rest of the car. The 4g is as close to bolt in as you'll get. SR20 is going to take a lot of wiring work to get it running. I'd also be worried about the weight of a starquest as compared to a 240. Quest weighs in at a hefty 3k lbs.

MainstreaM Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 All your answers for a 4G swap can be answered here:www.projectzerog.com And to answer your question, yes, eclipse came with a 4g63.No it will not bolt up to the stock starquest tranny. See above link for details on the 4G series of motors and what ones will fit. Kane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said before I am not a dsm guy I specialize in hondas. I have heard lots a very bad comments regarding that engine. I am always hearing about how it is always blowing up and that it brakes down all the time. Is this true or is it false or those it have any truth towards it at all.

S5RX7 Posted January 28, 2007 Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 well it depends if you have AWD or FWD. If you have a sixbolt motor or a 95 sevenbolt or anyting later than 95 (still seven bolt). AWD brake more than FWD b/c if you dont have a stout trans (Shepard racing) and you launch it at 5000 the transfercase or tranny is goin somewhere. But in your case your not going to be drivin a talon your goin RWD Conquest. I have a friend thats building a 700hp AWD and another thats building a FWD (I live a couple minuttes from Buscher racing so here its dsm central) Ive seen 2 6 bolts blow up. the first one had an oil leak nad spun a bearing. the other well, My friend was moving so we put his motor from top to bottom together in about an hour lol thier was about 5 bolts holdin the head on, no head gasget, no valve cover bolts, no oil. he had to move it b/c he got evicted from his house and he had to go just a couple doors down. I never seen a 7 bolt blow up, i have a friend that has 300hp+ front wheeler on stock motor 140k (dynogo.com). another (girl) that has 425 front wheeler, has 90k stock bottom end but i think hers is goin to blow up this summer for sure. Due to not done correctly. From my xperince w/ these motors if you have any car pushing alot of HP its not going to last as long as a slightley modded one.
