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


Alright and BTW my car is automatic and imma keep it that way until I leave miami and be in more open streets, does it matter if my car is automatic? Do I have to switch it to manuel for this swap?

If you want to go automatic you are best off trying to find a 90s model Infinit G20 and swap everything from that.

I think he should just buy another ga16de and be done with it. Doesn't sound like he really wants a race car, just something good on gas and automatic. Those motors are cheap as dirt and last as long as an SR

Actually I really do want a race car but its just my area cant handle manuel, I can drive stick perfect ive had 3 previous manuel cars but me and my dad shared and the clutch wears out and gears start slipping and i hate shifting in traffic and plus i work far from my home and I ask for right hand drive because ive driven those cars and its so much better for my needs and i can shift way better with my left hand surprisingly but yeah i want a race car

An automatic VE seems kinda pointless since you would hardly stay in your powerband before it shifted

you live in miami? there is no reason traffic would wear a clutch any more than anywhere else if you know how to drive
