Dropping an sr20de

[Darlo Neal]

how hard would this actually be and is there anyone on this forum that would do the work for a price? also what things are needed apart from bigger brakes, a 2.0 engine and basically a micra? is it recommended to get the crossmembers strengthened? what is a rough cost on this as im considering doing it before i go out and spend money on enhancing the performance of a 1.3 engine

Also is there any other engine transplants? I've heard about 1.8T bluebirds but there hard to come by... anything else?

http://www.nissanforums.com/ga16de-1-6l-engine/1760-engine-weight.html for the weight issue. this it has a cast iron head and block where as the sr20 has an ally head. dnt take my word for granted as it was long ago i looked into it. but im sure the 16 is heavyer then the 20
