G'day, I am researching what I will need to do when ripping out the GA16de and putting in a SR20VE engine in a N14 Pulsar/sentra. It is already a manual transmission.
The SR20VE didnt come with a manual box unless its the rare and expensive 6 speed unit. Specific questions I have and hopefully someone can answer are: ~ is the sr20ve computer happy to run without the CVT transmission connected up ~ Confirmation that a GTI pulsar LSD box will bolt up ~ Are the engine mounts for the SR18 in a GTi pulsar suitable to fit onto the SR20ve engine! ~ Hubs , driveshafts and CVs required. Will need larger brakes anyway so what would be the best donor for these!
Of course if you have any other things to add I am eager to hear them. Thanks in advance

My nephew has turboed his SR20 bluebird and makes 300hp+. He says the Nissan brakes are easy upgrade and skyline ones could fit. Them or Maxima ones I would look at first.

hey morrie
Been told those SR20VE motors are thirsty as buggers - watch out for that

Mt I wish you would change your user name. You give timaru a bad name. Where did he say economy was a factor!

Long time no complain Murray - you are right though - he never did say anything of the sort - i was merely stating the fact that was presented to me by someone who has done an sr20ve conversion in a car of theirs - that was all
and to the other person - no "usdefault" or whatever is not me in any way shape or form thanks

im just curious do uknowif it actually makes 300hp, or is that what your nephew said/thinks it makes, cause the 2 are generally vastly different.

Economy couldnt matter less, it is to be in a race car.

hey morrisman.yep, check out the aussie pulsar site regarding the conversion. it has been done before. popular method is buying a front cut.

Well the dyno sheet has 225kw at the wheels and it does 13.68 1/4s at 108mph, with little traction, what do you think!
