Boo hoo chump. read it again and again and again. Read all the bitching on this forum that is directed at me. Make up your own mind. Have a cry about me. It wont change me. The fact is its a forum. You can write a sentence and without tone of voice it can have 2 meanings. Have a cry. Have your say. Make yourself look cool. Fact is you showed your true colours. perthute showed his true colours. Like I have always said. Write something on the internet. Dont cry when someone questions you about it. If you are all full of the advive that you try to appear to give - You will simply have no problem answering simple questions. If you cant answer the question, history shows that the next reaction is to cry in self defence.
Get a ####ing life. Cry that I ruin the forum with my words without tones, But i will always comment when i read people writing bullshit advice that i know from experience is bullshit.

Why give advice if you have no experience in what you are talking about? If people think about that, it will make this forum a better place. If you dont want me to post - dont write bullshit. Simple.

Now go back to congradulating yourself. You the man. or is it - You the man

Well, well. Just as I predicted....need I say more.

don't get caught up in not liking the way someone delivers a post too much, an SR20 WILL NOT!!! fit into a standard 1000 ute engine bay.

it is too tall, even a CA18det would only maybe juuuust fit leaving the standard crossmember (new mounts obviously) but an SR no way. the thing that complicates it is that the transverse leaf runs under the the crossmember so even scolloping and lowering the standard one would not work.

i have measured. i have sat a ca18 on the crossmeber and seen how close it is. i have an sr20 to measure

so in a nutshell perthute was giving incorrect advice and was pulled up on it. gotta cop it sweet i reckon

i have said wat i have to say i still think it will fit in the engine bay weather it needs a bonnet bulge or not is a different story just like how kustom the the crossmember has to be

jeezus perthute just swallow your goddamn pride buddy.

personally i dont know why the fuk you'd want a sr20 in something so god dam light and go kartish.
It'd handle like a sack of sh*t.
There are plenty of other good engines out there man. Leave the sr for larger heavier cars that the chassis can actually handle the power.
Poor 1000 would break a leg.

Yep not worth doing.

If you're going to go to all that effort, I reckon an E15ET would be a better proposition.

I still think this would be close to the ultimate engine conversion for a 1000.

Sorry but we need BS detectors, thats to stop many dreaming into the wrong direction. Ive misquoted figures in the past and accepted being wrong and duly apologised. Misquoting is fine but encouraging something that is a waste of time is not respectful and destructive to datsuns such as the rare K.
Critique is healthy to encourage constructive modifications and reduce wasting resources such as time, money and rare cars.

There are a number of late 2ltr light alloy engines available now and the SR is not in that category as discussed and surely will be asked by many noobs to come.

Those that love, respect this forum and datsuns should try to not slander incorrect advice.

As mentioned anything is possible with modifying cars
....but its least the case for logic and common sense.

lots of mods to the car required forget about really getting it on the road though it will basically be a sports sedan. Oh and budget 4-5k for a DE motor. They are good motors I just got one into my 1200 coupe but it took 2 years. Oh it has 150rwhp out of a stock engine. Very reliable horsepower. Will be lots of fun.
It will be a major headache to do in a 1000 but still doable. Anythings is doable if you have the time and money. Trouble is most people give up 1/2 way through ...

hahah god you guys are a bucnch of whingers, lol too much time on your hands ide say. haha. thanks for those that put forward some good points tho. thanks heaps. will probebly end up ptting in a 13 b or perhaps just a hot a15 or something. thx guys but stop being such school girls lol
