it should but what you going to do about a handbrake

I was checking it out yesterday.... Shouldn’t really affect the handbrake at all

ur sentra is gona catch up to your SX with the amount of mods done

Recently, I was taught a lesson on what a 105 Wkw NA car can do to a turbo car.

I am planning a few tricks on the SR20, I might go with SR16VE pistons, might do a SR20VE head swap might only do split cams.

I personally want to go SR16VE pistons and Tomie Pon cams, That’s a 11.3 Comp ratio with great cams and a estimated 14.9 ish 1/4 mile plus having better fuel economy and power

The motor is out

Just going to give it a nice clean.

Well, I stripped the intake off the SR20DE last night to check the ports and removed the oil.

All, I can say is this motor has one of the worst intake designs, I have seen, I am no expect, I don’t build intakes for a living but this one is bad.

I thought the GA16DE had bad intake heating but the SR20DE is worse, also the ports don’t even match each other plus there is a huge over hang just before the injector plus sharp turns in the runners to the ports.

Then there the head itself, Like, I said, I am no expert but, I can’t see this head out flowing the CA18DE head.

I’m going to try and do a mild porting to the intake and head before Thursday, time is now the issue but, I can’t leave the intake like this

Lower half of the intake, Totally mismatched and a sharp turn just after the inlet

I know the port job isn't the best , But I still need to do some wet sanding

CA18DET Intake ports
-----------------------------

SR20DE Intake ports
------------------------------

The CA18DE port is 55mm long and 32mm high the SR20DE port is 50mm long and 32mm.

I Personally think the CA18DE port will from better at higher RPM, It will
loose out on the velocity of the long runners to the valve of the SR20DE and the low down torque that comes with it.

Wish, I had a flow bench to check the numbers but it up to you to decide

The CA18DE / T intake ports seam allot like the B16 intake ports

You make you mind up

Well Guys the motor is in and, I am beat
My Internet was down so, I couldn't post picture's

This conversion is not to bad just time consuming.

Items you will need are:

Full power steering system
Full air-con system.
Left and right mounts
Clutch cable
Accelerator cable
Side-shafts
Motor
Gearbox
Upper and lower engine harness,power harness
Ect...

If you are swapping a old spec SR20 in it just plug and play with the harness but the new spec has a different F17 connector and needs to be re-wired. This is a real mission.

Thanks, Had help from Sokar

We didn't have the motor up and running the same day though

PPinkfluffybunnys28 Sept 2009, 14:35

Finally installed the CAI and just got an Old Spec branch

Thanks again to sokar of all the help.

Sweet!! Awesome stuff man!!

hhentiebez28 Sept 2009, 17:24

well done PFB and how does the car go

PPinkfluffybunnys28 Sept 2009, 20:54

Sweet!! Awesome stuff man!!

Thanks Dude 🙂

well done PFB and how does the car go

Thanks, Can I be totally honest . I Am NOT Impressed.

Yes the car is stronger then the 1600cc GA16DE , I would damn well hope so but its not really all that and, I'm not just saying this to be an Ass but its honestly how,I feel.

The motor does have a slight misfire that, I need to trace and sort out.

rratadmin28 Sept 2009, 21:28

I think if it is missing even slightly it will affect the performance. Like driving with 3 cil the car can barely drive

I agree with you.

But I did find out something yesterday. The Hillbilly\Monkey that rebuilt the motor before, I got my hands on it has screwed up the Cam timing.

Everything seems to be a tooth advanced; I will try to sort this out A.S.A.P

I’m just starting to worry what else this idiot has messed up

It looks like SA was the only place to get this branch.
The State guys have never even seen it.

Nice Branch!

PPinkfluffybunnys01 Oct 2009, 11:08

Nice Branch!

Can you believe nissan sold this stock

Cool stuff man. Congrats on completing the swop. Hope you get that motor sorted out quickly - it should be alot better than the GA16....

std was something like 105kW IIRC compared to the 70odd of the 1600...
