wat kind of eclipse?

hey everyone juss wondering wat kind of eclipse i should get... i wanna do a sr-20 det engine swap wit it so does it matter if i get a rs or a gt? let me kno plz

It puts a smile on my face everytime I see this. Just in case you are wondering, yes, I am a Nissan enthusiast. The question, though, is why? You must really be in love with both the body style of the Eclipse and the SR20DET to want to do this kinda project. If I were you, make it easy and find an SR20 powered B13 and throw a turbo on it. It would save you money and give you better results. Plus the B13 is just a sexy looking car (call me crazy).

the sr20 swap isnt that much money for an engine swap..... my friend is in the process of doin his own sr20 swap on a 91 240sx.... he spent 8 grand and it got him ALOT of stuff...... but the engine itself with 30K miles was 1800 and that was including shippin from canada to boston..... and its well worth it.... one of my other friends has the sr20 conversion on a 90 240 and hes beatin the porsche 911's with no problem..... id say its well worth it but i never heard of an sr20 swap in an eclipse.....

ya my bro gave me the idea of a sr-20 det engine swap bc he wants to do it and get a 240 too... but iono eclipses are really nice... new and wit a new sr-20 engine it would kick ass to.. so tell me wat u think still

if you can do it and have the $$ do it! sounds like a kick ass plan to me

Sure, the SR20 is a great and cheap motor, but it might not show to be worth the money. The FWD and RWD SR20s show a difference in power. You might be disappointed... The amount of money you are going to spend is crazy, though. First you have to buy the car, then the engine, and depending on where you go it might not even come with an ecu or wiring harness and sometimes not even a transmission. Then you have to make sure you have axles that fit and probably a few other things that I'm forgetting. If this is what you really want and you have the money, go for it. But like I suggested before, I'd go with a B13 SE-R for about $3000 and upgrade the turbo. You'd get better results...

k i hear yall talkin about the b13 and i hav no idea wat it is... motor or car? i kno its nissan but dunno wat else... explain plz.. and i thought that i could do the engine swap and be dun for around 3k... so iono

if Im not mistaken.. its an older model sentra SE-R I want to say late 80's early 90's... I have an '02 SpecV and I think its either at B15 or B16. but it has the QR engine which isn't worth a **** to mod.... you can't boost over 6 psi before you BLOW **** UP.. and they don't make aftermarket internals yet... :(

dude you guys are crazy...... my friend that already did the sr20 swap is showin 347 at the rear wheels on the dyno.... like i said he paid 1800 and that was engine and transmission... and then all the upgrades we stupid **** like a full exhaust system from japan, a 300zx mass air flow sensor, new BOV, just a bunch of little ****..... and he said to put the sr20 in a 240 is real easy he did it himself he said the hardest part of the swap was takin everything other than the engine outta the car...... and hes SMOKIN porsches and vettes and like firebird formulas and stuff like that.....

id get a 240 but i dont really like there body styles.. i really like eclipse thats y i want it done.. u think it would cost more then 3g to do it to a eclipse?

347 at the rear hu! well with the misu motor for about 15g you can get 600HP!! were talkin fast quarter miles! dont say it cant be done becuse ive seen it. it cost alot but well worth it!

it will def. cost more than 3000 to get it done to an eclipse... the engine alone is 1800 then youre gonna need all kinds of **** so you can put the engine in youll prob need a mass air flow sensor and stuff like that just because it is a nissan engine going into a mitsubishi.......

like i said in your other post about this issue....... get the gsx, upgrd the internals and put a **** load of aftermarkets on, its awd, can run an amazing amount of boost, and would probly smoke the other engine, all for less money.........period......

I'm a b14 man myself, My daddy had a 97 sentra 1.6 and it was nice. I saw and fell in love with this 99 Infiniti G20 though, and all i ever wished changed about that car was that it be made in RWD form. But alas, only FWD and AWD...and i hear it's not feasible to change the AWD to RWD the ol DSM way on those cars. But it's still one sexy car. SR20 is nice and all, but the 4g63 can really put out some astounding numbers. Not that i have anything against the 3g cars, but if you wanna be different, a 2g AWD with an SR20 would certainly be different. People are already throwing in Evo engines and 3kgt engines in the 3rd gen cars....being different has become normal now for those cars. 2G all the way! And throw whatever the hell you want in there if you've got the cash. Hell, drop in a rotary if you can make it fit! Just give that 4g63 to me if you don't want it!

yea, ill take it too, im looking to do the 64 to 63 head swap anyway, then turboooooooooooosssssssttttt the **** out of it.....
