Hey man, that company you told me to go with hasnt been responding to my emails about the sr kit

better mpg with the VE swap or without?

so its Sr20Det with VE head or Sr20Ve with a turbo? In your opinion Lunor240z, how will this option benifit you? What are some upgrades seen with adding the "vtec" haha to the sr?

thanks man! ill post up progress ! ps lts talk more on this topic!

LOL! Now this is just turning into a stupid argument. oh well good discussion so far guys! All i was lookn for was some advice on how to go about the swap! Not a english lesson or the rule book on how to post on Hybrid-Z. Thanks to everyone who offered some interesting info for me:p I will post pics up at the end of the month for those who find this swap as interesting as I do:cool:!

i agree that NA feeling has a very beeefy and powerful touch to it. Im not into american cars thats my only thing. And i like to think of myselff as a purist so we jsut differ in that sense:icon10:

common sense is my opinion and theres no such thing as a wrong opinion. I mean anytihng can be put into anything. what so wrong with saying that the sr in a Z is easy, affordable, understandable, and quite differernt? I dont know where that doesnt fall into your version of 'common sense' but it sure falls into mine. The swap goes down on the 23rd of the month, then ill have a real opinion on how it drives/feels from actual experience, rather then words.

Z32 2 door hard top was spec'ed at 3299. thats what nissan says, its ALWAYS DIFFERNT WHEN ACTUALLY WEIGHED. i sure you know that though right?

Everyones saying you can make higher HP with the VG wich i agree with, but whats 300hp when your cars weighs 3200lbs? we can all agree that there is a SIGNIFICANT difference with 300hp when your car weights in at 2700lbs. Thats what im all about, im not about making 900hp street car, or making a huge ass american drag car, or getting on th dyno and wow'ing everyone. Im making a car for the touge and the swap is only common sense.

i own a MA70 too! How wierd lol Z people like old Sups

thats an awesome vehicle.

ive seen r34 touge monsters chaser touge monsters E-R34 touge monsters. those are all heavier then 32s man! and i know theres more to building a car for this then simply weight and power but my love for the Z32 and touge needs to have sex. I dont mind if im not the best in the world. But if you see a Z32 going insane on a mountain at the next touge meet, youll have respect and your pride for the Z cars will only get bigger. Thats what i see atleaste.

So I guess im brining this thread back from the dead. Im going to do it in my Z32 2+0 for weight reduction and gas milage. Im making a touge monster:cool: No one has done a write up on it yet on any forums and the only ones i have found are in japanese. heres a link : http://blog.so-net.ne.jp/grace555/ He has done the swap and I have been translating and taking notes for a few months now. A nice thing that I've found is that the Sr20Det, with very minor modification, can bolt up to the Z32 transmission. Infact, it is frequently done in the Silvia world. This makes my job alot easier. As for now, I am waiting for some paychecks to get my project started. I am planning on using an S14 Notchtop Sr20det. Hope to get this finished. ___________________________________ To answer "mtcookson"s question: I am very happy with my VG30de engine. It is quite a monster, and have much respect for the VG engines. I am fimaliar with the SR20det engine though, and feel comfortable working with it. It is not veryt complex, and straight forward. The VGDE and DETT on the other hand is complex(for me) and is sort of a bitch to work on. Many things to worry about and maintain, plus its not my specialty. Some reasons for my swap other then familiarity is the gas milage and weight. With nice airflow bolt ons and some good at home rom burning and tuning, i can get about 27 to 39 mpg on the street. This is exciting to me. My Z is my daily, as well as my toy, and i will have 2 roms for the ECU, one that is set as economical(basically de-tuning), and one that is set to race(squeezing out lost power). Plus, it is not very hard to get 300hp out of an Sr. The weight, as we all know of the Z32 is beasty. If i were running a 2+2 version i would not have thought about the Sr in the car though. That would have too much weight in strange areas to get a nice weight ratio. It has seemed to me that doing basic interior strip, fiberglass rear hatch with plexiglass, and swapping seats for racing seats has lossend up alot of weight. Some carbon fiber here and there with the engine mounted as far back as possible will, in my mind, give me a nice reduction of weight.
