Thread: Curious question ??

nistune was 270 installed from the group buy. plus 160 for the software and 80 for the ecu talk cable.

So how much did you spend on your setup? Or just for a simple but good ve setup

You should be able to get a decent ve for under 1200 shipped, msd switch for 100 on ebay, and then depends if you run a stock de ecu, which car will run fine on, i ran it for a while fine, but then you can spend the extra and get a nistune and be around your 1600. Then if you ever get n1 cams your good to go.

Theres VE's for 800 then the msd for 100 can the car run on de ecu injectors and maf? I just want something really simple for right now then get goodies later

Normally the cost for the swap is

SR20VE:700-900
ECU:300
Header:120
Clutch kit:150
Window Switch:100
Misc items 100-150

its not that much, but you can sure find things on here or ebay,summit,gspec for a good price.

If your interested in a window switch for the solenoids. I have one for sale.

All of the above are estimates on the items. Obviously theres different prices in your area.

Basically just buy the ve. Change the seals, hoses, water hose adapter, and swap it in like the de. Cut the distributor and your set.

Everything bolts on alternator and all that other than the hose thats needed is there anything else that I need?

Glad I found the dash forum, the non-dash version has so much out of date information I feel like I've wasting a ton of time searching just to find stuff that's no longer available (like Calum), etc.

I might be doing a swap soon too, got a few free SE-R's (well in exchange for working on the owners other car, one is a Mexican Domestic Market 1993 2000 GSR, the other is a 96 200SX SE-R). The 96 needs a starter at least and an AC compressor IIRC. The MDM SE-R is gutted, cut wiring harness, but has a good DE and good trans.

Anyways, to avoid starting a new topic I just want to make sure I have everything correct for budgeting (to determine if I want to do this or just part the cars out and junk the shells).

Basically to put everything in the 96:
VE engine
DE trans
Clutch is already replaced with a stronger unit (ACT IIRC) and has a lightweight flywheel
DE wiring harness
DE distributor?
DE or VE MAF, as long as ECU is setup for it
SSAC header (unless those VE specific headers I heard about many years ago actually got produced)
JWT chipped ECU, or Nistune? Or standalone?
MSD digital RPM switch since greddy MSS is disco'd, unless running a standalone of course.
New hose, or adapters? for heater core hoses
All DE accessories (ps/alt/ac comp)

I do have a VAFC sitting around somewhere (old school one), would that actually work if a relay was wired it?

That all sound right? Sounds like about $1,500 in parts?

Might be a fun DD/track beater to save use and money on my other cars.

Weird.. I posted in here but could have sworn the post had to be approved, but posts in other threads are fine.. is only the first post attempt really moderated? Or maybe quick posts aren't?

Okay so other than that for the swap you need to cut the de dizzy and get the dayco line and im good right ? tried searching but couldn't find anything so basically I made the list SR20VE,MSD,DAYCO LINE Im trying to make a basic Ve swap for right now i will get a goodies later and a tuned ecu but I heard the ve runs shitty with just msd switch is that rright ?

Shouldn't activate cams without a proper tune
But if you wish to do so, run 20* timing with the VE injectors and DE ecu
