Don't be silly!! Why would you want to swap such a tough engine in the FJ with something as not so tough as the SR??? Putting an RB into a DR i can understand but im not a fan of the idea but the SR!! *shudders* YUCKSKI'S!! Leave the SR in the silvia's/poosars :cheers:

Id love to do the SR20 conversion. Mount it way back so its like a front/mid mount engine and it weighs nothing compared to the RB being all alloy (as far as I know). It would make the car 50kg lighter and turn in and braking would be fantastic. I would only have to worry about 4 coil packs crapping themselves

(This is purely speculation that has no scientific merit which is by definition, speculation)

Why in the bloody hell would you put an SR20 into something that has the mighty FJ?? Have you seen how much room there is between the firewall and the back of the motor in a DR??? You can have a bloody picnic back there!! Why not just move the FJ back further??? I thinking that the SR should just stay where the SR is, just my school of thought....

BTW coil packs crapping themselves isnt really a problem.......

Has anyone ever mounted the FJ20 back for better weight distribution? What gearbox do you use? What do you do with the mounts?

How much heavier is the RB20 than the SR20?

18kg is still a fair amount and is backed by a six speed box. Its also more common and has newer tech so if you're tight like me it would have to be the cheapest way to go. (Not necessarily the strongest or most potential)

Actually only the S15 scores a 6 speed box outta the SR20 range....

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      By Sxnjeet · Posted

      Oh damn, I have not switched around any wiring on the harness at all yet. I had my ecu sent off to a tuner to tune for my setup and disable the turbo pressure sensor so there's no more fuel cut. Should I switch the pin around for the ring gear crankshaft position sensor? What types of symptoms would show if something is about to go wrong related to that? thank you

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      By Sxnjeet · Posted

      pretty much just finished my rb20neo + t and manual swap...let me tell you, it is a pain in the ass the first time. took me almost a year at this point trying to chase down minor issues. But, I think if I was to do it again, I could probably do it with almost 0 problems with how much troubleshooting experience ive gained lmao. So either +T and upgrade the transmission, or just LS swap it and throw in a CD09 lmao. there ya go

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The small boxes will wear out the input shaft bearings.....if and only if you seriously exceed the torque input that they were designed to handle. It is very common for them to give up after a few years behind bosted RB20s and if you put a 25 turbo in front of them they can't last forever. Behind an NA RB20? Should last forever and ever and ever and ever. If it has died, it is from some sort of mistreatment, or perhaps extremely bad luck.
