SR20 in a 240?

[CKDezines]

Does anyone know how tough it is to do a SR20DET swap into a '96 and newer 240SX? And is the SR/240 combo smog legal in California?

[mjjstang]

OH GOD

just so this isnt a senseless post I will refer you to a site that will explain it all, www.zilvia.net then go to forums, then search,

and no it is not legal

btw not to be an ass but If you really did have to ask that question, you might want to lurk around here a little more before diving in to a swap.

welcome to the forum and lemme guess, you're new in the 240 scene right?

search button will answer your questions.

but im going to answer it anyways since im a nice guy.
Es Ar Twenie is not smog legal in cali, there has been some cases where it can pass smog but I havent seen any real proof of that. plus, i dont live in cali so i dont really know the details of smog or whatever.
Swapping an SR into a 240sx is pretty straight forward. Last time we did a swap in a 240, it took us 2 days, and thats because we slack off too much.
as long as you have the wiring harness/or at least got it figured out, you're good to go. everything else is pretty much straight forward.. just like any other motor swaps.

Dunno. :( Mjj hit the nail on the head.

[FastBack 240]

Using the search tool is usually your best bet. This topic has been laid into for the past 3 years.

Sorry about the double post. Went to remove it and wouldnt let me. :rl:

[FRpilot]

do it. you can be the first to do the swap and let us all know how it goes..

Thanks Bbandit for providing a some help, the rest of you are a bunch of dicks. Yes I am new to the 240 scene, I'm new to the whole import car scene in general. I drive a '95 Camaro and a '71 chevelle but I like all cars. This thread is the exact reason that domestic guys hate import guys, almost all of you are so quick to talk trash or put someone else down instead of just being civil and providing a little help. I just asked a question to try to get a little help getting into imports and all I catch is BS. I could go on for hours about how stupid you make yourself look by dissing other people but none of you are worth it.
Thanks again Bbandit

[Dutchmalmiss]

it's not that we're dicks...it's pretty much common sense

if u havent read about a sr20 in a 240 in a magazine online or heard someone talk about it even in a game or something... iono what to tell you.. 240's and sr20's are like bread and butter and is the biggest bandwagon of the import scene... i have nothing else to say...

[TheTimanator]

you gotta understand though...
these topics have been covered a million times plus we are getting a lot of stupid questions lately for instance "how to remove hubcaps". You will get just about every question you have answered just by searching. Anyway, to help ya get a start, checkout www.srswap.com and go to there FAQ sheet. Good luck

[Bbandit]

No problem man, im glad that you're open and willing to try new stuff. I myself will be getting an F-bod whenever money allows lol.. man.. that adds more stuff to the car i want after I graduate..
Anyways, dont take people's comments (especially here) by the heart. Zilvia = tough crowd. just laugh it out, smile, and keep on browsing lol.
Have fun while you're here. Zilvia archived so many good informations.
oh and Another way to get around zilvia is PM or AIM.

[ZK]

Well, the other people have already answered your question but...

It is not legal.

I think everyone is just tired of people asking the same questions 20X. :)

this is the kind of thread a troll would start

Wow, one person sees a problem and everybody has to get a hit in. This swap may be common sense to all of you who have the cars and have done the swap, but to people like me it's all new. I could swap a 350 chevy into just about anyting but I have never worked on anything with less than 8 cylinders or two rotors. I have always been giver the best information from talking to people who have done what I was trying to do, not reading the spec sheet in a magazine, that doesn't help you to know what works best or what tricks there are to make life easier, and it sure as hell doesn't say if the swap is legal. So give me a break. Sorry I asked the question but I guess I'll just have to sit and wait for each and every one of you to creep out and take a pitiful shot at me so you can feel a little better about youselves.

[Demik]

lol man chill zilvia guys are asses ( no affense guys).. the sr20det swap is pretty easy in my opion.. i have dont a couple already IM me if u need any help EPIDEMIKSX

I'm new here too, and I know this 240SX stuff can get overwhelming, but take a look at your quote I edited above and tell me that your domestic boards wouldn't have a field day ripping the person who posted it a new hole.

(now the car/engine combo I used may not be correct, but you get the point.)

The reason why everyone immediately freaked out on you is this question is probably the most common question asked on these boards, and it's asked damn near every day. Anyone who has been on these boards for a while just gets tired of hearing it, especially when there are a TON of resources on the swap.

My point is, don't get so pissed at everyone so quick. If you are new to the import scene, chances are you are going to need these guys' help, and if you start out by blasting them, they aren't going to help you.

So do like I do, search and read mostly, and if you have to post to get your question answered, don't take the responses personal. Sometimes people forget that we all start off as newbs.

SR20 Swap Legal (http://www.zilvia.net/f/search.php?searchid=92398) <----Click here. These are the responses I got by Searching using those key words. If you don't find what you are looking for, try a few other variations. The search key can be your best friend and keep you out of the line of fire. Welcome to Zilvia, you can either stick it out here, get flamed sometimes, but also get outstanding info. Or you can go someplace else where everyone is buddy-buddy and learn how to hook up l.e.d. windshield squirters. (Old_S13, no offense to the proper use of l.e.d.'s) :D

[ledzeppelin240]

Search Zilvia extensively then ask questions. You will find that by searching 95% of your previous questions will be answered. Other than that Heavy Throttle (http://www.srswap.com/) will be the site to go to...rwD owns...

sr20 is not legal, sr20 + socal = bad new, 240sx= great car, sr20+ 240sx= great car, 240sx+ka24de= great car, 240sx+suspension = mad pwnage.

lets put it this way, sr20 is the japanese motor that came in the 240 in japan also known as the 180sx/s13/s14/s15. ppl have also put skyline motors(crazy inline 6) in 240's supra motors v8 nissan motors and crate gm motors. u can do anything with money and resources.. if u have question plz search first ppl do get anal just bcuz they get tired of answering the easiest questions. if u cant find an answer pm me and ill be glad to help with what i can or point u in the right direction.

[phrozen]

most demestic cars are known for straight speed not handling. so thats somethign to think about 240's are known for handling and sr20's if ur looking for a fun car with some speed id go suspenion first then play with speed,

[RBS14]

no shit?!? you can put sr20det's in 240's??? i'm gonna get me a 240 and one of those jmd sr thingamajigs asap!!



sorry, couldn't resist.

[zaneithan]

no offense man, but part of learning about something new isnt just blurting out questions to a group of people that have been around for a while and have probably seen the same question 50000 times, doing a little research beforehand will save you some face and allow you to ask much more difficult questions besides "will a nissan motor fit in my nissan car"

btw, good luck with whatever you have planned

ppl here are just sick of the typical riceboy (which you don't seem to be). the sr question has been asked hundreds of times since my one year on this board, so ppl get a little irrate at seeing it.

i'm probably covering alot of what other ppl said, but anyway... the sr20det is not legal. some have claimed to pass smog with it, but it is by no means a legal engine and won't pass visual inspection (assuming the inspector knows what hes seeing).

240sx modding is typically less about straightline speed and more about what you want to do with it. suspension and chassis stiffening is where most start. the ka24de is usually decent enough for beginner autox and drift events, at least starting out. after they get better ppl either turbo the ka or go sr.

[mjjstang]

When I was a noob I asked some pretty fucked up questions and about left and said F that cause people did the same shit to me. but I took the advice and searched around before asking questions. sorry if I was a dick to u though.
