Thread: Import Newbie Need help..

hey guys im new here to the forum and new to the whole import scene always had muscle cars this is my first import...well i just pick up a 1991 4dr with a ga16de with aproxx 260,560 MILES haha that lil bastard is about to go any minute know well it actually already did oil and water mixing possible blown head gasket,so now im looking foward to doing a sr20de swap then turboing that ...just wanted to introduce my self and see what feedback ya can give me towards my swap..oh and this is my first fwd swap hope it all goes well...

dam guys read a couple of theads and seem there a whole lot more than just swaping in a sr20de ...is there anything i need to know when looking for and engine im going to the junkyard sometime this week and looking for possible donors...heard u got to get the same year harness for a sr20 as your car..true..?

91-93 harness is the same iirc, 94 harness is different because of 94 being lowport.


mounts are the same, knuckles are same, brakes ae different.


previous owner of my car had swapped in an SR20DET motor, it used to be 1.6.

only thing i can say is if you upgrade one thing you have to upgrade everything, suspension,brakes, etc.

you will also need an SR tranny, all SR20 trannies are interchangeable except the P11 which is hydraulic, but ppl on here have converted to cable

oh and use the search button

Welcome to the forum! Good luck with your build You should post pics in the Member's Rides area, and maybe start your build progress thread there as well

Stay with the muscle, you save yourself alot of money and make way more power.

haha yeah i know man a good nitrous kit and supporting mods( fuel ,fuel pump, ingnition)on and old v8 and your in the 350hp easy..hehe but ive always wanted to build up a import and heres my chance ...


and sure ill start a build thread show everyone what im doing...

dont listen to this idiot hes a waste to the forum the only thing he does is post useless threads and information on this site.

what year is the car, you will need the same year harness from a se-r for the plugs underneath the dash. I also believe if you have a 91 and you find a 91 g20 the harness might work but dont quote me on that.

they are fun if you just read around here a little you will find some good information.

91 and 92 are the same. 93 is different, and so is 94

o ok i went to the junyard today and found a se r with the sr20de motor and trans dont know what year it was forgot to take my book to decode the vin but will go tommorow to inspect more they where closing when i went ,sucks working till 4 and they close the yard at 5...ohh well hopefully better luck tommorow and dam these cars are rare oly found one..in the whole yard the rest where regulars....
