Swapping From a GA16DE to a SR20DET or Even a RB20DET

Hey I'm just wondering what the entire cost of swapping the motor would cost. My car is a 1994 Nissan Sentra XE, not the popular SE-R model. I just picked this car up, and I'm just as of now curious about how much it would cost to do this.

1K.

SRSLY, about that much for a SR20DE swap.

RB20 swap is a stupid idea in a Sentra.

It be about 1500. DET engine is around 1k and you need a engine harness, axles, mounts, and Idk if the shift linkage different from 1.8 to 2.0. And litter stuff here qnd there that you might run into.

You will need a 93.8-94 harness if doing a 2.0 swap. Try and get a whole car so you have everything you will need.

Piecing it together one by one is a pain in the ass.

I agree with p10, 1k is about right.
And if your car is an automatic, more is needed

RB20 DET?

are u planning on converting it to rwd?

if your car is auto then you gonna need a long list of stuff:
engine
gearbox
shifter cable
clutch assembly
mounts
axles
brackets
shifter linkages
gas pump upgrade
brake up grade
boost parts - ic, piping etc
plus more

good luck

peace
