SR20DET Swap. Need some info.

I am new, and not to familiar with nissan. I have been more of a Honda/Mitsubish guy myself. But I have just recently started to have thoughts and emotions and some unknown force pulling me towards turbo'd and rear wheel drive...and I like trucks. I know the sr20det is a very easily done swap for a 240sx. I have searched the forum and found posts about swapping the SR20DET into a nissan hardbody here and there. I have found people say that "it can be done easily"...."the engine compartment of the hardbody is the same of that a 240sx"...."it has been done".....this and that. And I am about to ask the same questions a lot of people have already asked, and I know they have been answered, but i have not found quite the right answer to satisfy me. Well just to get to the point...

1. EXACTLY How easy is the swap to do. If easy at all? SR20DET into a Nissan Hardbody?
2. Is there any type of fabrication that needs to be done, such as cutting, welding, hand made, one off, etc etc?? I am not to interested in trying to make my own, or piece together, or find a bell housing for this tranny or that tranny or to fit the block, or get some mounts fabbed that will work. I want it plain and simple, just drop it in type of thing.
3. Now, the fab question right before this one, that question does not influence the idea of intercooler pipeing, or making a front mount work, or getting the exhaust to work, and the wiring. Obviously I know I will have to get custom made intercooler pipeing, possibly custom made down pipe, and hand wire certain areas of the engine...when I said Fabrication, its mearly cut and welding and fabrication as far as motor mounts or relocating..I dont want to have to do any of that. So to get to question 3.... Will I have to do any exstensive wiring, or electrical work as far as rewirng the coils? injectors? etc etc.
4. Rear end and drive shaft. Will I be able to retain the stock drive shaft? And the rear end I would assume i could keep, but would not be a suggested? Perhaps a 240sx rear end?


If everything seems like it could go over smoothly. I plan on getting a full swap. ECU, harness, block, head, tranny, etc.

Now, no offense to anyone at all..But if you CAN NOT give me a precise answer of whether it can be or can not be, with evidence and facts to back you up, then I do not want to read something that says "I think" "You might" "Possibly" "Maybe" "This guy did it"....you get the idea. I just want it simple. Yes it can be, or not It cant be, with the facts to back up your answers. Thanks.

welcome bro glad that you gave up hundah! If you get one make sure you find the ka24de model. change the bell housing out of the ka to the sr bell housing. http://www.jgycustoms.com/motors.htm Change your motor mounts(I believe). Replace you Ecu with the sr20det ecu. you might as well change out the rear to the lsd one. If you dont believe me than check out the nissanminis.com forum. Theres always is a discussion over there about this swap Its the most popular swap over there.
