Swap-out

Orphan72 · May 29th, 2007, 08:09 AM

Ok, After much thought and seeing what was happening around town, we (the guys at the shop & me) decided to swap out the baby godzilla (GA16DE) for the SR20VE. Not knowing anyone who has done this or heard of it, (I am sure someone has done it) any help as far as what all we will need to add, replace, etc. . . . None of us are experts, but we are pretty good at fabbing some sturdy stuff.

Plus practice at fixing other people's mistakes helps. Ideas, tips, thoughts? Again, anything. Oh, and if anyone has an idea about the the guages and/or the instrument cluster. Was looking at something aftermarket, but will go with OE. Thanks and take care.

There are lists of parts required for the GA to SR swap on the forum here.
Then the upgrade to VE, you should look for this separately here and on the other SR20 forums.
try the one below, note the Neo vvl write up
