Okay guys...... seriously considering this swap here. I have a 97 200se SE with the 16 in it. Got some prices on a non turbo SR20DE and can do it. I've read the instructions for an install with the SR20DET (turboed) and it's totally not worth the effort. WOuld be better off selling my car and buying like a 300z or something LOL. So my question is, how difficult would it be to swap my GA16 for the non turbo SR20?? What else will I need besides ECU, harness, tranny, and motor?
Hm..... I didn't ask for instructions, nor a detailed list of parts, or anything that could be found in the search. I a simple question about people that have done it before as to how DIFFICULT IT IS TO PERFORM THE SWAP. Now you try finding that in a search.
These boards have gone to $hit. What is the point of a forum if people can't ask questions? There is no point. Every forum on the web will have the same question asked over and over again.... no matter what. The mods need to chill out. No point in having a forum if people can't ask a question. Sure, if the question is like "Hey, can I put a r34 motor in my sentra?" yea sure gripe about that but geez you guys need to relax on 90% of the $hit you guys gripe about. Get real.

besides...... for your info pal, I have searched before I started tihs thread, and nothing is in the search besides SR20DETs.... that is the turboed version of the SR20 if you even know what a turbo is.

You posted your 2cents once, aint no need to post it again. There is info on the swap, and YES, it is hard as shit! Please don't catch an attitude dogg, this aint the place for it. if someone pisses you off, just brush it off, and keep rollin. If you want more info on the actual swap, utilize the other nissan sources. I believe there is actually only one write up on this. But if you want to talk to someone that does it for a living, hit up www.jgycustoms.com he can tell you all about it.
The non turbo motor is not much different than swapping in an SR20. WHat do you think is different between the DE-T and the DE? You will still need almost all of the same parts.
FWIW JWT can modify your 1.6 ECU to run an SR20DET or SR20DE which will help a bit in terms of swap complexity.
Anyway I don't promoting people to do some research is a bad thing, nor does it make the forums shit.
Personally, since I still have about 2 years to go on my car paying it off, I am staying with the 1.6L for now...It sucks merging into traffic sometimes, but for the most part I enjoy the challenge the lack of equipment gives me...and it does fairly decent.
