Guest Figlio_del_Diavolo Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 One of my good friends has a project he is beginning to think about for after his Mustang is back together and the Legacy Wagon gets a Rex 2.0L turbo motor. His grandmother lived in Long Beach, CA, and passed away recently. Apperently she has had this Datsun Fairlady 1600 sitting at her house for as long as he can remember. He is starting to think that he may want to put an SR20DET into her. He says 350bhp would be about what he is looking for in it. It seems to me it would be a very fun car. Does anyone have any idea of how hard this would be? Has it been done before? Any input would be appreciated, even if it is just what you think of the idea. I figure here might be the best place to ask this question even though it isn't a Z. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 Shouldn't be too hard... I think I've seen that swap on the internet. I don't know a link, you may just want to google til you find pics of it. 350hp from an SR20DET is very possible with a nice sized turbo like a GT25R or something. (bolts to stock turbo manifold) You can run it at 350hp with stock internals and it won't blow up for years (with proper tuning) Plus the tranny will still be pretty reliable at that power level. It would be a really cool car to drive, thats for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 81na ZX Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 I've definatly seen it online and in magazines. There was one in sport compact car about a year ago - even though it was a 2000, not 1600. http://www.311s.org/tech/engine/sr20det.html http://www.311s.org/tech/engine/sr20det2.html http://www.311s.org/tech/engine/sr20det3.html http://www.zparts.com/showcase/msSR20swap1/intro.html and just 311s.org is a decent site all together If you can't tell, this is something I'd LOVE to do, even though I prefer 3 seat 1500s But, can't find any in Michigan and I have too many projects already Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Figlio_del_Diavolo Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 That's cool. I'm in Michigan at school right now so I know what you mean about the lack of foreign cars and also what the salt does to them. I see you have a Lotus Europa, how is that?

Guest 81na ZX Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 What do you mean? Presently its in about as many peices as it could be, and I'm gonna have to build a new chassis for it (rust) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slownrusty Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 I have quite a few pics of a SR20DEt swap into a Roadster that I can upload. Great combo, awesome power to weight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was curious how it was to drive, but it seems it is a project at the moment. Good luck with getting her all back together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
