CA/SR Conversions into AEs and KEs

[bennyq]

This thread is for all questions regarding the install of CAs and SRs into AEs and KEs.

Questions in regard to S13 struts go elsewhere.

Its not that bad mate
after you weld the mounts in - no firewall bashing/cutting= fits shifter location but engine sits far forward or cut the wall and better balance? up to u
i also hear the R33 non turbo gearbox makes shifter location so much better which means less cutting into ur shell.
Heaps of guys on the forum has done it already, just search around. I'm in the middle of working on one with a mate also.
I'm not too sure how much extra or if its worth using the Pulsar version justr because its FWD and for 20v 4age (FWD) to RWD cars, waterpump/lines and dizzy needed to be converted
and the lack of power without the turbo probably not worth the work?
If possible, i'd sell the SR and probably buy a 4age to bolt in without any fabrications. (but thats just me)
Other guys who'd finish their SRbuilds would probably have a better understanding of the difficulty

not hard have done one in my ae86 and one in my ke70, used the 86 engine xmember in the sprinter to retain steering geometry and used teh s13 engine x member in the ke70 which makes it realy a bolt in affair

cheers for all the help guys. i had a feeling the fwd sr20 was going to make this difficult, but im optimistic and believe it isnt impossible. i dont see pulsar sr20s go for much, so i cant see the point in selling it really.
ive done a little bit of reading and seen that rb20 gearbox's fit well for the conversion? i didnt think they would bolt up to an sr20?
i was planning to get the gearbox out of a wrecked silvia or something like that...

pulsar = distributor at back of head like 20v. Throttle body is at back of motor no? Does RWD manifold bolt up? If you bolt a RWD head on, one of the bolts on the oil pump/timing cover is in the wrong spot(not hard to deal with).

fwd is wideblock isn't it? I dunno what that mean in relation to rwd'ing a motor though.

To run RB20 transmission, you need to swap the front housing off an SR20 trans. Only advantage to this is it brings the shifter 50mm closer to the engine (and away from the handbrake).

I think that engine has quad throttles

anyone want this to be a universal sr20 conversion thread? I can make it a sticky

[bennyq]

i would like for it to be a universal sr20 conversion thread the more information the better i say! cheers.
