Hi guys!
Now that I've decided on what engine to use on th 1200 (SR20DET) I know need to get parts that can handle all the power of an SR20. I will need new, better and bigger brakes, a better and stronger diff (LSD if possible), adjustable control arms, lower arms, etc and suspension (coilovers maybe?).
So far I found a nice website that sells some parts for the B110. It's called Maddat.com.au. They nice parts, but I was wondering if there are other website with more products. The other website I know is Technotoytuning.com. They wave a lot of parts to the 240Z and the B510, but not to for the B110.
Anyway, any websites you guys may know or good parts to use please tell me.
Cheers from Portugal!

SR20DET is a fine choice, many have successfully swapped into Datsun 1200

The lower control arms are perfectly fine for the power of the SR20DET -- no need to change them.
* To handle the extra weight of the engine, fit stiffer springs
* If you want to adjust camber, you can move the top mount or install camber tops. See Camber


The purpose of brakes is to stop the car:
* If you plan on driving faster speeds, it's a good idea to improve the brakes
* If your government requires brake upgrade when engine swapping, then upgrade the brakes
* If you plan on exceeding the vehicle weight capacity, then upgrade the brakes. SR20DET adds about 150kg to the car, which is still within specs (like carrying one or two passengers). But to carry four passengers + the extra weight it would be a good idea to upgrade the brakes
* If you value increased safety in general, then upgrade the brakes -- even if you have a stock A12

Luigi from Portugal is swapping S13 Japan brakes into his 1200. I suggest swapping the S13 EUROPE brakes, which are larger and more common but require 14" or larger wheels

If you want to use 13" wheels, I suggest swapping the Datsun B310 245mm brakes (1200 brakes are 212 mm, so this is a substantial upgrade)

are u after a modern engine do you have pollution laws?
ca18det has been done also by many members here

I often wonder if the SR20DE would have been a better choice over the KA24DE.

you'd run into all the same problems. The SR is a long tall block, so it takes up as much room, and when pushing 350 HP has all the same cooling issues. Some 240SX guys like the SR20, after they spend $5,000 to $10,000 modifying the SR it will then make power than the KA24DE (via high-RPMs)

1200s love SR20DET!

What about the rear axle/diff? That won't handle all the power right? How can I upgrade it? Will I need to use, for example, a 240SX diff and independent suspension?

Quote:The stock Datsun 1200 rear axle assembly won't handle the torque output of an SR20 engine. There have been a few S13/S14 IRS swaps into 1200, but that is the hard way to do it

Most fit a strong live axle, like the 1200 axle but bigger. SR20DET makes 202 to 220 ft lbs of torque from the factory, so you'll need a Rear Axle that can handle it. The H165 can handle this. See B120 axle swap

SR20DET whemn modified can easily make 400 ft lbs. For this you'll want an extra big Rear Axle like the Ford 8.8 swap or one of the larger Toyota Hilux rear axles. A popular swap in Australia is using the strong AUS-built R31 Skyline unit

Maddat is your best source of 1200 after market parts there is. They can supply you with everything for your sr20 installation. They can also modify s13 irs rearends to the correct track for a 1200. There front end suspension / coil overs are second to none.

Thanks for all the help guys!!
To fit the SR20 I don't need to cut anything right? I just need to cut the transmission tunel to fit the gearbox right?
Thanks once again!
