I don't care if they guy is just BSing or, just trying to get some information on what a DET swap entails. I asked questions like that before I even had a car. I don't see any F/I in my car any time soon, but whoever said a little education was bad?
As for the SR20 Vs. QR25 debate I'll stay out of that one this time. The QR25 is a new engine so it still has some time to prove itself to the people that do not believe in it.
Why is the guy getting flamed for this? It's not like he's doing this to your freakin car. Maybe he thinks he'll get more hp out of a sr20det. Maybe he's actually seen sr20dets run 12s, 11s, 10s, 9s. I haven't seen any qr25s running those times. Maybe he knows that there are a million aftermarket parts for the sr20det.
But to answer your question and not waste your time like all the other posts. I don't know if it's been done yet but I had thought about putting a qr25 and 6speed in one of my B13s, until I found out it wasn't all that. Get the 5 speed trans., axles, and motor mounts from a B15 Sentra w/sr20de. I'm not sure how you would want to do the harness and ECU. Maybe get the sr20det with harness and ECU. If you want to use a 6-speed see if there is any newer front wheel drive Japanese or European spec cars using the sr20det and a 6-speed.
Of course you can sell the motor, trans., axles etc. from your car to help pay for the expenses of the swap. Sounds like there is a lot of people needing new motors in their Spec-Vs.
Try it. Be the first to do it.

exitspeed.........why did you post this over on automotiveforums?
dude....we told you all the facts, you need a whole new tranny, new ECU, etc etc...new tranny linkage, blah blah blah...........you should have just bought a different car, because the whole swap will cost you over 5 grand.

Just to clear up my part, I am not flaming you exitspeed, I personally just think that its a waste of time and you should have bought another car...thats my 2 cents and no offense I have respect of your thoughts but you know..if you have the money than more power to you, i just think like a project beater for this plays well in the situation.
I say go for it...that would be one badass Spec V!!!!! yes it will be expensive to do, but the question is do you want to have one of the fastest...or possibley THE fastest Spec V out there? (and it would be reliable too) whatever..i give you mad props if you do it, its obviously possible since the sr20 was put into some b15s from the factory.
There is a guy, on the sr20deforum.com with a Spec-V that is doing a sr20det and converting it to all wheel drive. In Japan there is a car that is the same chassis and is all wheel drive.
Originally posted by superv wow, fuck man converting to AWD, that would definatly be an interesting expsive project hahaha, wish i could do something like that when i get mine
definately pricey if he is importing the parts in. I would love to see the finished product. And once they have finished the turbo fabrication set for the spec, that would be an amazing vehicle. too much money involved though, imo, but hey if that is what he wants, go for it.
