Sr20 in Rx7
 

Sup fellas,

My engine blew 2 times in the last 2 years =/. I can get a sr20 for about 3 grand less than a rebuilt engine that i wont have to baby. Did anyone already try this set up? i know the sr20 puches about 205-230 i think it was. Can someoen justify if this set up would work? dont mock me i havent driven my 7 is 4 months im getting kinda desperate here.

..

man...i think this gets asked EVERYDAY!!! there is plenty of info here...just look a couple threads down in this section.

Damn G thanks my very first post and i get mocked. Thank you for giving me such help and making me feel very welcomed!!! never 4 get this experience

i dont see why you would go with a sr20, the $$ for the swap for a marginally better engine

why not a LS1, hell get a LS1 and put a LS6 conversion kit on it
405 hp

LS1 = corvette? have you seen this conversion done b4?

again...for the ls1 comment --> just look a couple threads down :-p i'm not trying to be mean...but this info is on the first page of the "other engine conversions"

Why not do what 90% of most people on this board do when they drop the 13B, and go LS-1 or LS-6 ? You'd be making much more power than an SR 20 would ever put out (not to mention the aluminum block), its more commonly done, and there are handfuls of shops who specialize in stuff like that.

One question tho, why the SR20? I mean, if you look at the cost and compare it to any other "reliable" options out there (including engine tuning, radiator, etc etc), why go for that motor? Not trying to sound like a dick, but I honestly want to know why people are sooo impressed by the SR20?

LS1 conversion is very comon place, especially here on this board. many people have even thrown them in 2nd gens and Miata's. run a quick search, i found over 7 threads on the first page alone with my first try.

one of the most common ive seen on boards

im not sure if the LS6 conversion kit is for all LS1's
they have the LS1 to LS6 kit at jegs

magical DORIFTO!! engine

Kind of like the magical nissan 240 drifto car....I don't understand how certian things get trendy. Maybe I don't play enough video games or something.

BTW....My little brother bought a SR20 engine and trans....Has had it for maybe a year. Hasn't done anything with it....Guess he just needed some of that majic in his shed :)
