sick ass engine swaps

[MXDesa]

not exactly what you want but they put sr20's in fwd sentra's so im sure if you check out some of those swaps you could figure out how to do it to your car or better yet just do it to a sentra then its lights and gotta nice motor.

Is it me, or are people that dont know how to used periods and commas becoming more popular on this board? WTF??

 

[phyregod]

Who needs periods and commas i mean seriously what use could they possibly serve i'd say to scrub the whole idea because its way way too much fabrication which translates directly to cost in dollars changing a front wheel drive vehicle to rear drive is very difficult becaust the chassis isnt meant for that kind of torque it was never designed to handle those stresses just buy a light weight rear drive platform and slap your motor in it hell there are several nissan candidates to choose from

just my two cents

I don't think you have a budget big enough. The fab alone in the engine bay will run 2 g. Don't forget that a full harness swap will be needed as weel ascustom mounts and tranny tunnel, tcase mounts. You will also spend 2g or more to convert the front suspension over, and prob 4g for the rear supension to get fabd. I mean its gonna cost 10g without parts is it worth it?

has anyone ever seen the video of the crx with the 350 in it, and big slicks on the rear?

 

[adonis]

well outlaw its really not all that possible. ok basic i know why uwant to try a crazzy swap. but start smaller insted of trying awd how about a k24 from a newer honda its a proven swap and makes more power than any b-series swap[stock]

One question.
Why?

If your so much a nissan lover go get a fucking nissan!!!

 

[hazzardboy95]

I dont know why everyones up in a fit, he's not going to do it and thats that. This was a nice thread but there is no purpose for it anymore. He is going to puss out and probably buy a nissan anyway and this isnt a nissan forum last time I checked. If he is serious he will start up a new thread once he starts. Lets just leave him alone and see what he does, almost like a mouse in a cage.

bastard!!! that would be flippin' sweet to have seen.

It was in some of the tuner mags a while back, I remember reading about it. Import Tuner? Super Street maybe?

I like the picture where you can see the Honda logo on the valve cover and the TRD logo on the tower brace.

you could always buy a 240sx and then strip it down to the weight of a civic?

thinking mounting the engine in the bay, not that hard, engine wounts are easy to fab assuming you have a machine shop.

there is an exhaust tunnel, with some creative shift linkage (maybe the 240's are cable which would be easy to manuver around) that would mean minimal cutting for the driveshaft.

rear suspension? you would have to integrat ethe nissans and the hondas. Keeping geomtery uniform and in the realm of what you need to be drivable and safe would be very difficult.

front suspension would need to be sealed some how since there are no axles up there to prevent water from getting in to the bearings, unless you want four wheel drive then that presents a whole new set of problems to get around. like finding a nissan fwd system that would actually fit in a civic without need to bulge everything out.
