Thread: Need an Oregon mechanic

I have a 91 Sentra SE-R with a blown U13 SR20DET and i have had nothing but trouble since starting the swap 2 years ago. The mechanic i had do the work didn't do it right and wasn't able to figure out what was wrong so i'm looking for a mechaninc to swap in a new engine with my turbo, intercooler etc.

If anyone knows of someone who has done this swap before i'm in the albany area but i am willing to travel if needed. I was about to sell my car and give up but its just too much fun so i've decided to stick with it and get it done right.

Also where is a good place to pick up a used SR20DE motor since my U13 is toast.

I might have a spare sr20de pretty soon... I will let you know

im located in grandview wa, which is south central washington, i have a de available. where are you located?

I can swap the motor for you but I am up in the Seattle, WA area... PM me if you are interested, Also I have a spare DE motor too. LMK


Chris

i just saw a de w/ 74k on the portland craigslist.


heres the link: http://portland.craigslist.org/clk/pts/625976327.html

That's a lot for a USDM even with JDMish low miles.


He goes "This is not a Japanese import so no worries on having to order parts from Japan for install." What?


I sold the DE from my 92 for $50 and it was running well with good compression.

PNWSER on the other forum may have a motor, he's in Vancouver wa and Debunk on the other forum gets soko motors. Two pretty good local and cheap sources.

Also I heard there's a classic in the u-pull it in Boring Or. No idea what's the condition.

Damn, thats why I love these cars. Mine will prolly be runnin forever! Good info on engine sources. BTW, what does soko mean?

soko is a very good and reliable engine distributor in california. Forum guys have been getting their motors for years.

PNWSER said he'd work on your ride. He built my car for me. PM me if you want his number. He's in Salem.

^ there you go!

I PM'd you about him on NWN!
