jvillarreal Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 hi, i´m new at this site, i bought a 240z from usa and i want to swap other engine in. what did you think about this set up? gti-r engine with s13 gearbox. on stock have automatic gearbox with l24 stock engine. this s13 gearbox fits the gti-r engine? i want to modify the gti-r engine for output 350-400hp. this gearbox can handle this hp? other option is fit an vg30dett. in my country spain there´s a few nissan models. tell me your opinion guys. thanks for all.

jvillarreal Posted October 17, 2006 Author Share Posted October 17, 2006 38 views and anybody knows anything about? other possibility is put a s14 engine+transmission. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boate Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 Yes, a s13 transmission can handle that range of power. Both a s14 engine/tranny and vgdett can and have been swapped. There is a whole sub-forum devoted to 4-cyl Nissan engine swaps. This combined with the search function will answer 99% of your questions.

alexideways Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 The pulsar engine would be nice if you intend on staying stock as it's the most powerfull stock SR20 nissan has put out but if you start modifiing, I don't think it's worth it unless you don't pay more than another Sylvia SR. + All the coolant hoses won't line up and the harness plugs won't be in the same spot so,you'll have a whole bunch of parts to source elsewere.

alexideways Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 Then again, you are not putting it in an S13 so what I just said does'nt really apply exept for the power output thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Careless Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 im with alexideways on the sr20 engine being a good choice, unless you start to open it up and do some new things to it. it wouldnt be worth the extra hassle, unless you have a transmisison to fit it and a deal for the engine, less the awd setup. the thing that makes the rnn14 sr20 stand out is the itb plenum setup, and the distributor based ignition, i think. and even if that's wrong... if you're modding it, theres no reason to get that special engine. go for an SR20VET from the japanese xtrail =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest REDZ Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 The Gtir engine is the best of the standard SRs. better flowing head bigger head studs, bigger flywheel bolts, better oil pump. solid lifters. The is no reason to look for a different model sr engine. But as carless states you could sell of the GTI'r head and put on a SR20ve or SR16ve head (sr16 has bigger cams) and make an awsome street engine. VE heads are nissans version of V-Tec. Check out the SR20 forum for more info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

serx93 Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 The only problem that I am aware of using the GTI-R engine would be that the block is the same as the front wheel drive sentras and not the rear wheel drive 240's or Silvias. In short it wont work. Just buy a nice S13 Turbo motor(red top) and enjoy. You could look for a S14 put the for the difference in price it isnt worth the extra money. Everything you would change on the S13 you would also end up changing on the S14....so start out cheaper and you will be way ahead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jvillarreal Posted October 30, 2006 Author Share Posted October 30, 2006 a real big problem is the intake was on the wrong direction, goes to the windshield and not to the radiator direction. for the tranny fit i think works well. For no problems i think the s14 swap is best and only 20 hp less from gti-r. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dosquattro Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 not to mention the dist. will be hitting the firewall and you'll have to mod the inlet of plenum to otherside. Maybe just use the head and use the coilpack setup of the RWD SR's and the ecu from it or standalone. alexideways so us some pics of your friends swap. As far as I know the mounts don't even bolt on and the tranny doesn't bolt on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvillarreal Posted November 2, 2006 Author Share Posted November 2, 2006 then anyone knows of someones that install the s14 engine+trany in 240z? swap pictures?? thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexideways Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 I just asked the guy yesterday and he said that he would'nt do it again, he said he did it only because he allready had the engin and he had to fab. mounts and mod. the cross member, used a greedy intake and coilpacks just as stated above so, in the end, he would'nt recomend it. He did'nt say anything about the tranny not fitting though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunar240z Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 i've personally tried to put a rwd tranny [s15] onto a fwd block [sr16ve] and maybe half of the bolt holes lined up... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
