sentra sr20 swap
 

ok i have a 2 door b13 sentra XE 1.6 liter

i want to swap to a sr20de, but im not sure what all i need to do this swap, im wondering if any of you guys know on what i would need. i can say that this will be my first project car, I want to boost it too, but it will be too much probally on my bank account just getting this swap done any help would be cool thanks

Re: sentra sr20 swap
 

boost it now for cheap and swap it when the motor pops

Re: sentra sr20 swap
 

"For cheap" yes, find me a CHEAP ga16de turbo manifold....

also he needs to swap to manual

Re: sentra sr20 swap
 

Show us some of your girlfriends tits and we will find for "cheap" :P

Re: sentra sr20 swap
 

Get your manual ready and some cough sizzurp cause your throat is gonna be sore from the yelling and swearing for asking yourself why did I do this. It's easier just to get a SE-R. I think you may have to change engine mount brackets if I'm not mistaken. Your better off just boosting the GA. Go hit up SR20Forum.net or com. Don't remember since I haven't posted on that site for while now since I got rid of my old B13 SE-R years ago. good luck with whatever you decide to go with.

buy an ser and it will save you alot of hassel, or go to sr20forums.com

Re: sentra sr20 swap
 

ok thanks ill try asking around there and see what comes up
i did hear a swap is a bitch too,i might jsut end up turboing it

Re: sentra sr20 swap
 

I doubt the swap is that much of a bitch, as long as you have a wrecked donor or a yard willing to help you get all the brackets and stuff. I dunno about wiring between GA16 and SR20 though...

Re: sentra sr20 swap
 

I was thinking that maybe this may help you alittle.

Cut the bullshit and throw in a bluebird(sr20det fwd) and throw a TD06-20g and ull ball my boy had one :S

Re: sentra sr20 swap
 

Bluebird can lick my left nutsack Get a SR20VE and swap in the GTIR internals and crank up the boost.

Re: sentra sr20 swap
 

whats the VE from? that's the first I've heard of it.

Re: sentra sr20 swap
 

Isn't there the Pulsar GIiR or something that is AWD and SR20DET? I forgot what it was, but if you have the 96-99, that's supposed to be it.

Re: sentra sr20 swap
 

Buy my NX2000 with the Sr20de in it then you have all the parts you need!!!!!!!!

Re: sentra sr20 swap
 

Yet another engine that never stepped foot on american soil. It'll be like the B16 and it'll be here like years after it be out in japan or just never like the RB26dett or 20b and I could go on forever.

ask you shall receive.

What does Neo VVL stand for?
Nissan Ecology Orientated Variable Valve Lift and Timing

The VE (Neo VVL) series of engines is Nissan's answer to Honda's VTEC. The two systems are nearly identical. They use the same concept of multiple cam lobes to provide a low rpm cam ideal for torque and a high rpm cam optimized for hp. The only difference in the Nissan system is that the intake and exhaust cams are triggered indepedently for a flatter, more consistent power band. You can read more about the VTEC system here.

How many different VE motors are there?
There are five (5) VE motors.
SR16VE - 173hp 5 speed Manual 97-2001
SR16VE N1 - 197hp 5 speed Manual 97-98
SR20VE - 187hp CVT 6 speed Auto 97-2001
SR20VE - 204hp 6 speed Manual 2001-Present
SR20VET - 276hp AWD Turbo 2002-Present

How much power does the VE have?
SR16VE - 173hp @ 7800rpm / 119lb torque @ 7200rpm
SR16VE N1 - 197hp @ 7800rpm / 134lb torque @ 7600rpm
SR20VE - 187hp @ 7000rpm / 145lb torque @ 6000rpm
SR20VET - 276hp @ 6400rpm / 228lb torque @ 3200rpm

How much do they cost?
SR16VE - $1000-$1600
SR16VE N1 - $3000+ good luck finding one*
SR20VE - $1000-$2500
SR20VET - unknown
*Only 500 of these engines are thought to have been produced.
**These are average prices based on availability and engine condition. Actual prices may vary.

What are the origins of these motors?
SR16VE - 1.6L VVL motor found in the Nissan Sunny Lucino VZ-R, Sunny GT and Pulsar VZ-R.
SR16VE N1 - 1.6L VVL motor found in the Nissan Pulsar VZ-R N1 and Pulsar VZ-R N1 SSS.
SR20VE - 2.0L VVL motor found in the Nissan Primera (Infiniti G20 bodystyle), Bluebird, Wingroad, and Autobacs Garaiya.
SR20VET - 2.0L turbocharged VVL motor found in the Nissan X-Trail SUV, and Trailrunner Concept Car.

Re: sentra sr20 swap
 

SR16/20VE would be an awesome upgrade for my Sentra :) The n1 would be insane

Re: sentra sr20 swap
 

Sinister, it's a ------- 1.6, it sucks wet soggy goat balls.

Just get an SR20DE engine out of any USDM Nissan/Infiniti (beware oil pan changes between Sentra and G20) and bolt turbo ---- to it. The NA engines hold 400 to the wheels without flinching.

Re: sentra sr20 swap
 

It's almost like the DSM disease for FWD SR20 setups though. Engine can provide it but the tranny doesn't always deliver. Tranny cases have a notorious history of cracking from anything 300 and above. It's not even a issue of just certain years. Pretty much all fwd sr20 trannies have that problem. JGY offer like 3 different ways of just strengthening the cases if that says something about it. Cyro treating, shot peening and welding the case.No doubt that like getting a B16 to a B18C. I'd opt for the SR20VE if I decided to install one into the Z since they make adapter plates to bolt the fwd sr20 engine onto the stock Z tranny.

Re: sentra sr20 swap
 

Nice :y

I already have the gay16de under the hood, I figured another 1.6 wouldn't be so bad... sr20de can hold 400 horse huh... I think I'd be happy with 200 :)

Re: sentra sr20 swap
 

Yeah, the majority of the FWD trans are weak. B15/P11 trans does alright, very cheap to cobble LSD from one of the cheaper models over. Biggest problem is wheelhop; as long as there is no wheelhop the trans usually holds together for a minute. There is a tendency on the non-B15/P11 boxes to lose 3-4 gearset after exposure to power for a while.

Re: sentra sr20 swap
 

Yup wheel hop is the grim reaper for those things. get that under control and it should last longer if you don't just beat on it that bad. Then there's the normal 5th gear popout but thats mostly on the B13 trannies.
