sr20det swap
nom I know I might git flamed for this but was wondering who has done an sr20 swap in there fc. I've seen a couple of them out there. I blew my engine and since all I do is drift and beet the crap out of my car I figured I might want to get a engine that can handle being beat the crap out of because it seems to me the rotary and I don't agree very often.

i doubt it would kill his driving, i used to be a honda guy only but by trying new cars/motors found i like a lot of them. i say do it if its just to beat up on anyway. I dont think the engines weight too much different do they? Even if they do you can move weight around if you think its a big seal

I believe there is quite a weight difference between the two engines. I heard you can pull the 13b out with two men while sr20det would probably take a good lift. But can anyone give actual weights on both engines.
You might want to go to www.drifting.com/forums/ and ask someone there. Maybe Tony Angelo will tell you himself or Chris Forsberg? I went to the Pikes Peak Driftoff and Tony told me to get some rear stear eliminators. WHOOPS!

Do you understand that the car is from 1989 and was likely produced late '88. That means this car is over 15 years old. If this was the original engine how could you expect it to take abuse? Its over a decade old. Buy a new car if you don't want problems for a few years, even then most new cars have problems straight out of the box!
Rebuild the engine and i'm sure that will take abuse for a few years given you do everything that needs to be done, properly.

with the price of buying an sr20 and getting it swaped in you could rebuild your enigne and do some mods to keep it reliable or you could open acount and save the money so that when you do blow your engine again you will already have the money to fix it.

I've seen a couple of em done. Buddy of mine did it.
I equate it to the people jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge.
Watched a special on TV a while back about the few people who have survived the jump. They all agree that once you are past the point of no return, no, not half way down, but that one inch too far, they all thought the same thing:
"Oh my god... What have I done?"

That`s your choice and I respect that but different drivers prefer different types of powerbands. Many drifters, such as yourself, may prefer the instant throttle response of an NA motor while others do better with engines that hit higher up in the powerband. It doesn`t necessarily mean that one is definately better than the other. I just don`t agree with your statement about the SR not being good for drifting. It has proven itself many times over and there is a reason why the S13-15 is considered the quintessential drift vehicle.
Oh and yes I checked out your thread. Man did that turn nasty or what? Ego`s getting the better of everybody I think. Build yourself a solid KA and go have some fun. You shouldn`t care what me or anybody on a disscussion forum think about YOUR car.
