Ok i found a guy in my town that will sell me a complete sr20det engine/tranny/ecu...for $1600.....Is this good deal you thing?
Also the mechanic at the local nissan dealer here, said he will swap it out for $1000, that means im looking at $3000-$3500 just incase more parts are needed!

The ECU won't work unless you change the harness too.

Damit i knew something would go wrong.....well were or how do i get a new harness?

oo that is a good deal tho... cant you just get a JWT ecu for umm 600 or so? however much they go for and problem solved I belive???

Yes, i think i can use JWT...But i would like to know if I can use the JDM ECU...there has to be some way. How do i change the harness?
Also, what do i do about my gauge cluster, switch out to se-r guage cluster?

1600$ for an engine, sounds like a nice deal, is it a used engine? and if so how many miles on it

Mar 29th, 2003, 10:41 PM

yes its used, it has 32k mi on the engine...and its 4 yrs old

AlphaSpeed · Mar 29th, 2003, 10:42 PM

where could i get proformance axles and how much torque and hp could they handle

Ok, let me start from the beginning. $1600 for the engine isn't bad. I can get them for $1500 plus shipping.

You won't be able to use the ECU, or Tranny. So the engine is really all you will be buying.

You will need to buy a FWD SR tranny. Those can be found for around $500

You will also need several other things such as ECU, axles, and I think motor mounts. As far as the ECU goes, I would just invest in a JWT remapped 95-97 se-r ECU. That's another $600.

You're also going to need to take care of cooling. Figure another couple hundred on upgraded radiator.

Now to the DET part. You will need some sort of downpipe. JGY makes a nice one for $175. Then you're going to need exhaust. You can get a 3" crush bent made at a local shop for around $300. If you go with the BB SR20DET, you can run the TMIC for a little while, being in Florida I don't recommend doing it for long.

To sum it all up. It's not cheap to do a DET swap. ESPECIALLY going from SE to DET. I'm about $3000 into my conversion, and I don't even have the motor in yet. And I have a se-r.

That's a lot different then the $3500 you mentioned in your earlier post.
