SR20DET

[Mark P]

Hello everyone, I'm new here... I drive a '98 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/nervous.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':nervous:'> (I hope I can post that here. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sigh.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':rolleyes:'> ) Anyway, I'm sick of the damn thing breaking all the time, and I'm seriously considering buying a 240SX and swaping in an SR20DET. What I'm looking for is a good website that has a detailed procedure on how to do this. I want to make sure I know what I'm getting myself into before I make a decision.

How much money would I be looking at (not including the price of the car) if I do most of the work myself? How hard is it to find upgrades for the turbo, fuel management, FMIC etc.? I understand that this engine has a T25 stock... Will the T28 on my GSX (same housing as the T25) bolt right up, or are the housings different? Is there anything else that I should know before I do this?

Anyway, thanks in advance for the help. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

BTW - This site looks awesome.

See the latest issue of Sport Compact Car, they have write-up on the swap.

www.srswap.com is good too.

Good prices on front clips, I will be ordering a S13 blacktop form them in the next few months.....$2,400.

I had a 2000 eclipse that I totaled, I am looking at a S14 (1995) that I am planning on doing the swap in. I was quoted around $600.00 for shipping to FL. So you are looking at around $3,000 to get the engine to you plus odds and ends that you will need for the install (beer, engine hoist, possible clutch, fuel pump upgrade, flywheel, FMIC.....etc. these are just suggested upgrades). Given, I haven't actually done the swap but I am researching it just like you.

I am in the middle of the swap right now and I went through heavy throtle and they gave me for $2650 block tranny smic fuel pump I needed to buy nothing except fabricate a collar to fit the steering pump to the block (if you get a 240 with hicas) and make some brackets to hold the ic piping. &nbsp;Just finished her today and it is worth the money!!! &nbsp;Fast fast fast running 14lbs of boost
