SR20DET in an 86 possible?

[Aniki]

Hey i was just browsing thru the T3 site and came across there purple hachi and it has a blacktop SR20 in it ? is this even possible if so what type of modifications have to be done in order for this swap to take place?

[996cabby]

just remember, anything is possible if you have the money.....SR20's are dime a dozen, that's the inexpensive part....fabrication of everything else is what's killer.....

thats an awesome transplant

that's a really good idea. i was thinking do the same thing,swapping SR20 into my AE86 in the future.

[checkman]

yes it is possible

[Aniki]

alright so its possible would the SR fit or would i have to cut and weld untill it fits? does anyone knwo of anyone who has done this before?

[mr_sinister]

i think cutting and welding is pretty much standard fare when it comes to swapping in a motor that wasn't designed to fit the car in the first place.. just a matter of what fabrication needs to be done..

ive decided to do it after 2 days of straight thinking about it im going for it does anyone think im selling out im just trying to get best of both worlds :'(

sr20det in an 86 eh? I would say go for it if you have the funds and if you know for sure you're gonna put up with it (time, money, problems..etc), also, the bigger motor would upset the balance of the car and the handling chars. I'd go for something like a 20v head and gze block with a turbo, I heard if was possible, just can't find the site right now.

a guy on club4ag just told me that it will desrupt the perfect weigth balance of the 86 im having troubles again arggggggh this is soo streesfull hmmmm you guys know of any other engines that will fit and 86 and will nto interfeire with the balance but will produce lots of power?

u want turbo...turbo the 4ag.
swap in a gze so that u got the stronger internals and run a snail!

why swap in an engine that was never designed to be in the car in the first place? u are just asking for trouble.

i dont see why u'd want to swap the 4ag when there is so much aftermarket support for it. if u actually -think- about swapping in a DET, it means u roll in gold and sleep on cash...if that's the case, bring ur motor to richard white and do formula atlantic 4ag :p

[Aniki]

lol my problems are solved im just gunan run with a silvertop that is not to expensive and maybe kater ill add a snail boro hell noooo i aint getin the formula atlantic i dont have 60 g'z lol

[Aniki]

oh yea nyone knwo of where i can get a silvertop in canada? myabe the GTA is possible?

gze is better for boost because of the strong internals...
