Swapping sr20de or not ?!

NiS[sX]mO · Apr 26th, 2004, 10:04 PM

Hi everyone, I'm in a very big dilemman right now. I have a 200sx with a ga16de auto. and I want to know if it worths 3000 (Can $$) to swap a sr20de or if it's better to keep the ga16de and just swap the tranny .... I'd like to have your opinions on that.
Txk, Yann

I would say look into useing mods and tranny swap for 1.6 or just getting a sr20de car.If you really want an sr20de look for a 200sx with a bad motor for cheap.

I forgot to mention that I currently know some you can sold his NX2000 ofr that swap (it's the guy who'd do my swap) ... So I have everything I need to do it ...

well then an sr20de swap price is very small why not got for it i would replace some normal wear parts when you have the engine out.

DET or VE is an option too.

I'm in a same dilema too. I don't know if I should swap to a SR20 or just stay with a GA16. I wanted to be a fast daily driving car project. I don't want to spend a lot cause I want to saved up and buy a 350Z. I was thinking about rebuilding the engine with custom pistons and rods....

I thought about it but it's too expensive. And the parts for the sr20ve are rare and expensive ....
sr20det option is like 1000-2000$ more expensive then the sr20de.

all of you guys should do a little searching, these have been discuss way too many times... one if you do a swap... dont just do a sr20de.. that 25 extra hp is not worth 3 grand after everything is said.. and trust me an sr20det swap, even if you install is going to cost you around 5k... a good friend of mine does swaps all the time and with everything from the motor, tranny, ecu, harness, motor mounts, front axle, ignitor switch and any little detail i missed, its gonna cost around 5k...

good advice...

if you want to keep the car, best option is to swap trannys then turbo the 1.6. otherwise... you're wasting money...

agreed, thats what i did and its great. sr20 all the way.

huskya83 · Apr 27th, 2004, 12:23 PM

agreed .. save your money.. and do a whole lot of research.. budget your self..
If you are going to stay w/ the 1.6. do as James has said.. then do what whatever next, cuz its not going to matter since your boosted

Yeah b13 and b14 se-r's arent to expensive like under 5,000 for b14

James · Apr 27th, 2004, 12:31 PM

one thing to think about on top of all this... you're going to lose about 500-1000 on the trade up to the ser anyways... so take that money into account to.

viprdude · Apr 27th, 2004, 02:40 PM

hmm, i gained money when i traded...interesting...about 400 clams
