Hey guys whats up? Wanted to start off sayin hi because i'm new to this forum. Anyways, i have a question about swapping in the SR20DET motor into my 98 Sentra Se. The wiring shouldn't be to different right? Would you go with the S13 because you can get that in front wheel drive? Just trying to get some research done on this. Has anyone done it or know someone that has done it?

Among a whole bunch of other things you'll need a new engine harness. So, um, yes the wiring will be different.

i think you're confused

your car already has an SR20DE , why dont you just turbo that?

and just for future reference ... you do not want a S13/S14/S15 ( RWD DET) you want one of the FWD DET's like the Bluebird or GtiR etc .

Hey, I am wondering the same thing. I think that it would be cheaper to swap a turbo engine, into my already SR20 sentra, rather then go out and buy a turbokit for it. I want to swap out the NA SR20 anyways because I am going to build it into an NA motor then get a new chassis for the NA as i complete the build up. So I am looking for Turbo SR20 to swap it into my sentra. Well that's my reason. Anyways would any bluebird motor fit into my car? ANd would the swap be pretty direct? 1998 Sentra SE with NA Sr20de.

the se is not a turbo and the s13 is a rwd you need a b14 s-er (sr20) lots are needed,, all wiring new gauges new cluctch drive lines maby tranny, and that is just for the engine and the turbo will toltaly change that, get a ser at a junk yard for parts, youl need em. but your lookin at several large to pull this one off

okay well i have an se-r but to turbo the existing engine would be a pain. Were talking forged piston, crankshaft, ect. right? Plus you have to lower the compression, and get an ECU that works for the vehicle. So would it be easier to swap than turbo the existing? Cause I want to do the same.

IIRC, You don't need to do anything to your SR20DE to prep it for turbo. Everything in that motor should be able to handle a turbo setup, with mild boost. If you're looking for 300+ HP just by adding turbo, IMO it's not going to happen. I would imagine that you would then need to worry about the bottom end of your motor.

My $.02

so just to turbo with mild boost like maybe 5 to 10 psi, my motor can handle that. Like i don't need to change out the crank or pistons or even the head gasket?
