i've heard the GA16 swap and the CA18DE swap are fairly easy. the E15 turbo isnt worth the hassle it would be to get ahold of the parts as it was never sold in america. so unless you live in europe or have connections to someone over there, the E15 turbo isnt a viable swap

 

The E15 turbo was sold in the 83-86 Pulsar in the US along with the E16S. That said, I still wouldn't go through the trouble of using the E15T for an engine swap.

 

Ya, I see what your saying, thanks. Do I need to swap trannies for the GA16 or not.

 

Yes, GA16 uses a different transmission from the E16, and I think you would have to change out the front spindles and brakes so you could use the CV axles from the GA's transmission

 

Ok thanks for clarifying. I looked at your car domain, would the suspension upgrades and front brake bolt on you did fit on my 1983 sentra? I know it's a whole other topic but I need to upgrade my suspension for SCCA solo.

So to everyone: If I don't go with the GA16, and just had my E16 cleaned up and refreshed for now what all can I do to add more power? It's stock currently to the best of my knowledge. I just don't think I want to take on that whole tranny swap, etc. If I found a parts car I might go for it though.

 

So if I GA16 swapped, then that would let me put the bigger brakes on because I'd be running Ga16 axles? I would just need to get B12 hubs for the front?
I may be able to take some pictures under my B11 and you can see if the sway bar would work.

 

Easiest is the GA16DE swap!! Keep your hubs, you can still use the B11 Tranny on the GA, Good luck!!!

 

Would you know where I can get detailed information on how to do this swap?

 

Let me know what you need!!

 

Im about to do a similar swap.
Im putting a GA16DS into my B11 Sunny which had a E13 as standard.
Got the engine, gearbox and axles for $100 (NZD) so I thought that was pretty fair
My questions are:
Do I use the original gearbox that was bolted to the E13? Or will the GA16 box bolt in?
Do I need to upgrade the front brakes to something larger?
If so, whats my easiest bolt on option?
Are any mounts different between the 2 engines and gearboxes?
I would be really grateful for any info

 

Either transmission should bolt to the GA16, just need to use the respective clutch and flywheel for them. I'm not sure about the mounts
