sr20det fd swap Q`s
ok ok i know, im a bad person, its not and rx7 anymore, god will hate me blah blah blah
ok now that i have that out of the way...
im looking for someone who has made engine and tranny mounts for the swap.
either for ideas on making my own..
or idealy having them make me a set..
if anyone can actualy help instead of the normal "but this other idea is so much better" bantering any help would be nice...
thank you

p.S. i have seen many pics of fc`s with sr`s but very few of fd`s so also any pics would be nice for referance.

How did the swap go? Did you end up doing it? Pics? Everyone swaps something from one car to another, who cares, it's your car so it shouldn't matter. As long as it's reliable, fun, and different I am all for it haha

Not sure of the advantages of the sr over the 13b. Don't get me wrong I have had sr's for years but from what I hear about 13b's, there is no real advantage in the sr. What advantage did you see?

I doubt you're going to find anyone here (if anyone at all) who has done this swap before. Most people think swapping a 2JZ or an RB26dett is a pretty inane idea, so I doubt you'll find much on this. If I was you I'd go and make some friends at a machine shop.

the power/realibility factor go hand and hand and you can have a 400whp stock motor drive like stock and last for miles and miles unlike a rotor which will require more maint.

sr20s have serious blow by problems when boosting heavy and aren't as reliable as you think. for the amount of time and money your going to spend to get that motor in there, especially in an fd, you can probably build something 20 times more reliable
#10
once you have the motor on a picker sitting in the bay i bet there will be lil modding needed to mount. fitting will be no problem just locating the mounts again

Ever wonder why no turbo cars come running 20+ psi from the factory? As boost goes up, reliability goes down. That is just the way it is. Since most people don't drive at full boost all the time this lapse in reliability can be overlooked for quite some time. 13B or SR20 doesn't make much of a difference.
Oh, an there is no way in hell a stock SR20 will make 400 hp. Unless you meant stock internals. My buddies' SR20 equipped 240 needed a bigger turbo and mani, bigger injectors, Power FC, and FMIC. Even with all that he's barely cracked 400 whp.

and yes the SR had stock internals but upgraded turbo/injectors/intercooler
the evo made 410whp all stock minus cams, injectors, pump, exhaust all else stock.
so the realibility is there as long as its done right.

no so much since my old evo ran on 24psi on pump and 28psi on E85 and i drove cross country to texas then arkansas and back and never once had a hicup,

The SR20 weight is similar to the 13b. But the weight distribution will only be as good as the install. And that will very likely not be as good as the 13b.

Cross country for me is about 7k miles there and back. Are you expecting me to believe that you boosted all the way down the highway on a long *** road trip? Didn't think so. It depends on how you drive. I'm talking long term, as in 30,000 miles on the car with weekend auto x events. Then **** will start to fall apart. Besides, were not talking about the evo.

the SR is a good motor, i like them and dont care for rotors others love rotors and dont care for piston motors we all have our liking and its your ride so if you want a rotor more power to you if you want a piston go for it if it makes you happy . at the end you will be the one driving and enjoying it not anyone else

I really didn't want to talk about the evo, because of all the boosted cars out there I think its one of the best.
When both the 240 and rx7 are getting on 20 years old in some cases there isn't much comparison. It's all about preference and cost, and non rotary swaps are usually not worth it unless you're getting absurd levels of power.
