just thought of something...im sure most ppl already thought of. but ill give it a shot anyways. NA sr20de=cheaper then sr20det. so why not buy a sr20de rwd for cheap and get a bolt on turbo kit that can give u about 400hp out of the whole? im not sure exactly how hard it is to get a rwd sr20de, but it can only be like 500 bucks right? and turbo kit=3k? so for like the same price as a sr20det u can get a 400hp sr20de(t)? .....just a thought...
NA sr20

yeah but why would you want to do that?!? just buy a whole sr20vet from a primera (japanese g20)... the transmission should bolt on. Yeah I know it's FWD but that's why the engine is rotated (ever noticed that fwd sr20det's are mounted 90 degrees different from rwd sr20's?)... so what you do is get FWD SR20VE or SR20VET... and then mount it just like the SR20DET (with an SR20DET RWD tranny) and then you replace the intake manifold with RWD DET manifold (because it will be facing the wrong way (towards the firewall instead of towards the front of the car because of the way the engine is mounted on a fwd car).drkpnoy said:

I dont think the tranmission and the transaxle have the same bell housing. And I dont think the bolts line up eighter. if it did line up like you imagine , Iam sure most people would just get the sr20det FWD engine( becouse it's cheaper) and just bolt it onto there KA24(bigger then SR Trans)
But I have heard that if you get a custom trans made, it can be done..

Well ironically on the link I posted, the guy used RWD DET block w/ sr20ve head... go figure.
I think people don't buy the fwd because they need the rwd tranny anyways (there's no compatible us tranny anyways, not even KA trannies). And then they won't have to mess with intake manifold as I already mentioned. I'm not sure if the bellhousing is compatible but I would bet that the engines are almost identical save the intake manifold. This is just theoretical so don't flame me
BTW note that I never said it would bolt to KA tranny. I was referring to:
FWD SR20VE + RWD SR20DE transmission + custom intake manifold (perhaps rwd SR20DET manifold would fit) because the throttle faces the back of engine bay... basically I was just saying that the SR20 engines are (near) identical and it was the peripherals that changed (intake manifold, exhaust manifold [perhaps], transmission).
