Question for 03 Spec-v engine swap

SuperSpecV · Aug 14th, 2006, 01:11 PM

I have really important question for anyone who would know about this kind of thing. I have an 03 Spec-v that is pretty much fine. There is about 50k miles on it. When i used to be a delivery driver i really didn't pay attention to the oil changing. So i went to long without changing the oil. This caused one of my hydraulic valves to become flawed. Now my engine clicks whenever you excel in it.

Now here is the question. If i were to find an SR20DET engine would it be possible for me to put this in my car. I know that the silvia, which is the car that this engine comes from, is a rear wheel drive car. So I didn't know if you could put this engine in my car since mine is a front wheel drive.

I would appreciate any advice and knowledge from anyone who would know. Thanks

You can't easily swap a 20DET from a silvia because the engine case is formatted for RWD.

There is a FWD version of the 20DET in Japan. The car's name escapes me at the moment. When you see a pic of the fwd verision, the stock intercooler is mounted over the valvecover.
