sr20ve swap! if you can afford it you will never regret it

yo might just need a front main seal...

How much is it though? And where can I do it?

19 hours and an oil leak at the top where the pump meets the gasket after all that work, so yes, its possible, no way in hell do i recommend it.

^^ especially with the motor still in the car.

What kind of engine do you have in there already? :o

GA16de as previously mentioned.

Oh, well I feel like a total idiot giving him tons of pics of SR20 shit. =(

Sorry man.


Uhh... How badly do you want to do an SR20 swap? If you're not really interested and don't have the money I would recommend just changing the timing cover with the engine in the car. It will be a total bitch, but it might be your best option. =/

Dont worry about its cool but it was a help to me to see a better pic of a motor but yeah I want the swap badly, I got a job just to fix my car and havent started school until its fixed

Then it's time to gather the parts together for an SR20 swap. IMO you might as well jump to a SR20VE since they are going for around $800 these days. If you want though, you can usually find a SR20DE for $500 or less.

You will also need a transmission, axles, ECU, wiring harness, and possibly other items. I'm sure there is a How-To around somewhere.
