Originally posted by YotatoySoarer95 View PostThis is a pretty uncommon swap for most cars other than a 240SX(US spec never came with SR20DET) but more and more people are doing it. I had an SR20DET with a GT3071R and HKS Fcon in my AE86 when I was sliding it, and I meet a few guys on the east coast that had them in their Corollas as well, we never really had alot of E30 guys at the events but most of the guys that did have them either had SR20DET or the RB25DET swapped into them. I never liked the weight and iron block on the RB25 so that is why I went with the SR, that and as far as a balanced engine 85/85 bore/stroke is about as good as it gets. You will love the responsiveness and reliability of that engine and it will throw your car around better than any other swap out there. Cant wait to see a vid of this thing rolling, makes me miss my AE86....lol

Well if you don't mind welding you could always fab the intake elbow to fit, the manifold though is a bit more in depth. I never had to mess with those because the engine I bought had already come with a top mounted GT3071R and external wastegate so it just dropped right in. In the end what you put into it will be worth it, you might catch a bit of slag from hardcore Bimmer guys like I caught it from hardcore Yota guys but eff em! ****** gonna ****.

Originally posted by Dutchy View PostDefinitely do able, no doubt, but would take me a fair bit longer I think. I'm enjoying the challenges so far, I'm hoping to have it done and driving within a month, but we'll see how parts go I guess, waiting on them sucks.
Edit: I was deployed last year when I ordered all those parts so accounting for tracking was the hardest part.Last edited by YotatoySoarer95; 02-11-2011, 06:41 PM.

Originally posted by ill roller View PostAwesome stuff man, I've been slowly gathering parts for my SR swap for the last 4 months or so, glad to see someone else that's tackled the job... What'd you do for brake booster/master clearance on the exhaust manifold and stuff?
Originally posted by YotatoySoarer95 View PostTell me about it.....when I did my five speed swap in my SC400(4.0GT Soarer) some parts came from Australia, some from California, some from Lexus factory in Texas and others from members on other car forums from different states.....the swap itself was about 4/10 difficulty but waiting for the parts was a 10/10 annoying....lol.

Definitely stoked to get more clearance, more loww!!!

Lookin' good! I'm curious to hear a slightly less distorted sound bite, but that sounds pretty good so far. Great build mate.

Unfortunately I had some problems with the car this past week, anddd alot of fun
Drove it the whole week boosting quite a bit, but unfortunately the clutch fork pivot broke. So friday night I dropped the trans, replaced the pivot ball and retaining clips, and put it all back together.

Unfortunately that meant no progress on exhaust and cleaning up the bay, but I'm hoping to get that done this week. Hopefully finally get some update pictures.
