Here are some of the pics from my GA16 to SR20 swap project.
GA16 ready to come out.
Ghetto way to remove the engine. We had no engine hoist yet so just dropped that thing on ground and dragged it out. By the way, I removed all front end body parts to prevent from any damage.
GA16 out. bye bye!
Now, prepareing the SR20 to get dropped in. Installed the JUN ultra light weight flywheel.
JWT Clutch with B15 disc is installed over the JUN flywheel.
Opening the VC was a big surprise. I bought Steve's (a.k.a. 98SR20VE) old DE motor. You can see how he babied this thing. Does it even look like has 76K miles on it?
Now I have to show you some dirty thing. It was a major mess. That was the worst nightmare.
Engine in. I (ricer) needed some bling bling.
Finished product. It runs great.
For more detail about this swap, There's a "Progress Report" on SR20DEforum. Take a look.

finally dropping a sr20 in the b14 hope you keep that Black baint intact
Yes.. Finally. I've been wanting this thing for how long?? haha. Sean knows it too. I'm happy.
One question... I'm having the same thing done to my car... what are you doing about exhaust? Are the exhaust diameters similar enough so that you won't lose power?

I already had the Greddy exhaust (2.25in) which is made for SE-Rs. If you have a 1.6L, your stock diameter is 1.5in. Stock 2.0L exhaust is 1.75in. Your car will run with your stock exhaust, but you probably want to change it if you can.

I have a couple years until my project gets underway though....
glad to hear that you are happy with it.
Thank you!! I fully trusted the person who sold me that engine. It came from Virginia, and I couldn't even see a pic of the engine. I couldn't get the compression test result because the motor was already off the car. But he was very honest and helped me out a lot even after I got this engine. This is a bad picture, but it really is spotless. He used mobil1 every time, and this is the result after 76K miles.

hope you keep that Black baint intact
