Im thinking about putting one in my B310 coupe Rally Car, i know of a few guys that have put SR20's in the 310, so shouldnt be too many probs ;)

BigJase, Basically you considering exactly what I was going to do with it - put it in my B110 for racing.
Whilst nothing is out of the question, I desided that was going to be a big (& expensive) job, The SR16, SR18 & SR20 are all different blocks hence you would have to have a gear box specially built, then there is the induction system and any major changes to this and you talking a computer as well.
An SR16 is probably best transplanted into a light weight front drive car.
Sorry to put a damper on you idea - but i was a good one, after all I had the same idea. he he

Do u think it would be harder than a SR20 transplant???? if so i will forget it

Yes, a lot harder, at least the SR20 did come out in a rear wheel drive configeration.

I was under the impression the the S series Silva gear boxes fit up to the engine?? or was i told lies

they are the best starting point, but there is still bell housing modifications required i.e. cutting, moving and re-welding. The there is the clutch & fly wheel to worry about, the SR20 flywheel is really thick where as the SR16 isn't, the cranks are different so you can't just replace one with the other. also the input shaft from the SR20 box isn't long enough to get to the SR16 flywheel & clutch plate.

And the list go on .......

the plannium chambers aren't interchangeable but the SR20 could be modified to suit.

the mounting points on the block are different so special mounts are need e.t.c.

Basically every thing is very close & at a glance looks the same but when you actually do the measurements there is enough differences to be a pain in the butt!

Crap....... Ill give it a miss then ...didnt think it would be that hard. Guess ill stick to my trusty old 1298 hehe

BTW Brent, thanks for speaking up and stopping me from wasting alot of time (and saving whats left of my sanity).


Cheers
