hey all, just wondering, what engine does a 92-3 silvia have and can it go into a 1200 easily?

my friend has a wrecked one but the running gear is all good, thinking evil thoughts about engine swap...

any info appreciated
thanks

92-93 silvias have an SR20DE or SR20DET depending on whether the are q's or k's series, I believe that the engine can be fitted in fairly easily (as far as retrotech engine swaps go) but if it is turbo (SR20DET) you will probably not be able to register it for street use, but the NA version is ok, but it all depends on your states transport laws.

hey "new_to_datsuns" fill in all your details like your location and that so we can help you better, it's easier to tell you who can help and what you can do if we know where you are

ok cool, it is the non turbo, automatic trans.

oh and most of my details are there now, thanks

does any of the other gear fit in the 1200s? I know the s13/s14 brakes will fit on hubs and rear conversion to disks is ok but what else? Is the suspention swapable its Macpherson isnt it?

I'm thinking of doing this conversion as well but into my sunny 81 sedan
i dont wanna go turbo... too much hassle and $$$

hmmm, does anyone know any specialist workshops in Perth for datsun?

i wouldnt have a clue, but I wouldnt put an auto box behind an SR20DE, it will be pretty boring unless you trick up the trans a bit
