73DatsunZ Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 My buddy out here has a 1991 240sx hatchback and he's sick of his KA24DE thats under the hood. Theres a lot of problems with it and he wants to put a VQ35DE with a 6 speed in it. I have searched the internet and found a couple of sources like engineswaptech.com and vqswap.com and the vqswap.com has a kit they sell for $1,200 for basic swap materials, and then $400+ for a driveshaft, $400 for an AEM wiring harness etc. I know that he wont NEED the AEM Harness if he gets the whole wiring assembly from under the dash etc. So heres the real question. Should he get a VQ35DE and have 306 NA Horsepower, or buy an SR20DET S14 Black top (back notch) with 205hp? The SR20 will bold right up to basically everything I have heard. Uses the same motor and tranny mounts, driveshaft etc. Any opinions would be awesome! Thanks for reading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdizzy204 Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 plans for the car? if hes going to be satisfied with around 250WHP and good torque then id say go with the vq. but obviously turbo cars have room for improvement so if he feels he needs more then go with the sr.

73DatsunZ Posted April 10, 2008 Author Share Posted April 10, 2008 I don't know a whole lot about the SR swap and what power its capable of on a budget. How much power can it put to the ground with stock internals? I figured the VQ would be awesome with 306bhp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
