is it possible to put a sr20det in a 1983 280zx nonturbo

 

Dropping an SR in a 280zx isn't going to be much different than putting one in a 240. Just depends on your level of technical/mechanical/fabrication proficiency and how deep your pockets are! :D

They seem pretty pricey, unforunately. I talked to XAT Racing down in the same area (Tampa) and their prices seemed a little more reasonable. Of course, I haven't compared the prices as of late (this was months ago). I'm getting the engine bay painted this week. After such time, I will actually be ready for the swap (I should have sufficient funds). I don't know who will do the work for me, we shall see.

I know that I am and old and all. I can follow the Chevy and ford motor, TPI, LT1, LS1, EFI. But all of the acronym on the Japanese motors I cannot follow. I have no idea of what motor they are talking about in this post. I just wish that when some one list’s a post they would say out of a year make and model, so some of us “old farts†could figure out what is going on.

commonly found in the japanese nissan silvia s13, s14, s15 (240sx in states) and nissan sunny/pulsar (not available in states, but a very cool awd hatchback in japan)
