Thread: New SoCal member doing a JDM SR20DE swap

Looking forward learning from everyone here, thanks.

Doing a swap into this;

Kewl. Any outline of your plans or is this all brand new?

Hi there. Thanks for the note.

Obviously these are before pictures - including transmission the SR20DE will be about 150 pounds lighter, and give me about 50 extra horsepower plus fuel injection etc...

My Old Man used to race those TR4s against his 510 back in the day. They are great chassis for sure. This scheme of Nissan engine and the Triumph chassis looks like it can be a really fun car.

Very cool - bet that racing was a ton of fun.

So far it has been a straight forward swap - clutch and flywheel has been biggest hang up. Actual engine fit only required minor triming of battery tray and transmission tunnel. Engine will be lower and further back than the iron factory engine.

Thanks for taking an interest!

What kind of transmission do you have attached to the SR20 engine you are installing?

Hi Kyle - it is a 71C.

Fits well, to a point to where I can use the stock Nissan transmission mount with the stock Triumph ttransmission mounting point.
