SR16VE/SR20VE Adapter Plate to L Series Trans

[Guest Crim]

Just to be clear, I'm not making these, just cross posting this from SR20Forum.com

The SR16/SR20VE is a Naturally Aspirated 1.6/2.0L 4cylinder motors rated at ~200hp at the crank. They use a 3 stage cam switch setup, similar to honda's Vtec system.

 

Just thought some of you guys might be somewhat interested. Personally I'd considering using these plates with a Nissan GTiR AWD SR20DET (2L 4 Cyl T28 Turbo, Quad Throttle Bodies, Solid Lifters etc..) motor then the NA version.

 

Just a FYI...

The intake manifold is facing the wrong way with the GTIR engine and the compressor housing is facing the firewall and if you flip the turbo around I believe there's a interfernce with the wastegate actuator and block. Also the blocks are different with the fwd and rwd engines so mounts are not gonna be the same.

Not to mention the distributor would be hitting the firewall... Its fairly obvious that if you were going to take on such a swap you'd have to have the ability to fab alot of custom parts.

 

I think the reason they're making these adapters is not to attempt to use a FWD/AWD SR20DET, but have the ability to use the VE engines, which would still have the same problems.

Hmmm you think it's possible to incorporate the iginition setup on the rwd sr20det's then you could eliminate the dist.? That would solve one problem and then you'd have to run a standalone since neither ecu would work I'd assume after that with that setup. I believe some rwd sr20det's came with spark plug wire setup and the others had coilpacks. Maybe if the valvecovers could swap over then use the coilpack setup with the gtir but now I'm just talking out my *** and way over my head with the sr20det info I know It's just an idea I came up with to try to be able to use the GTIR or VE in a rwd application. Possible or no? Also you would need the VE ecu I'd think to run it with it's variable valve dah dah dah... since I'm not sure how many standalones could run that.

Right now I deciding which would be better. A 6 bolt 4G63T or a sr20det gtir. My wife would kill me since I had a GTIR before with a b13 ser I had awhile ago and sold the whole project since I had a bad shell and didn't feel like finding a new se-r shell to swap it into.

I'm sure you're familiar with SR20forum if you have a B13 SE-R, I myself have a SR20DE-T NX2000. Theres some combination of RWD SR20 direct ignition stuff that will work on the FWD/AWD SR20's to get rid of the distributor, however you'd have to search sr20forum to find that information I don't recall it off hand.

I was or guess still am a member of sr20forum. Lil' red se-r was my screen name. So this could be a one problem possibly solve to getting a gtir sr20 setup for a rwd setup. The intake manifold I don't believe wouldn't be that big of a problem as I've seen them used on normal rwd sr20det in a s13. Just a lil welding was all that was needed I believe. I'm not sure there is a spot for mount on the rear side of the engine(under the intake manifold side) on the block since there's just a tranny mount if I'm not mistaken. It's been awhile since I had my gtir..... engine that is. The direction of the turbo wouldn't be that hard if maybe a rwd manifold would be used possibly.I have a friend who also has a nx2k that has a sr20det and posts on that site also. Insane Import is his name and he still posts on there I believe and is a active member.
