Don't be silly!! Why would you want to swap such a tough engine in the FJ with something as not so tough as the SR??? Putting an RB into a DR i can understand but im not a fan of the idea but the SR!! *shudders* YUCKSKI'S!! Leave the SR in the silvia's/poosars :cheers:

Id love to do the SR20 conversion. Mount it way back so its like a front/mid mount engine and it weighs nothing compared to the RB being all alloy (as far as I know). It would make the car 50kg lighter and turn in and braking would be fantastic. I would only have to worry about 4 coil packs crapping themselves

(This is purely speculation that has no scientific merit which is by definition, speculation)

Why in the bloody hell would you put an SR20 into something that has the mighty FJ?? Have you seen how much room there is between the firewall and the back of the motor in a DR??? You can have a bloody picnic back there!! Why not just move the FJ back further??? I thinking that the SR should just stay where the SR is, just my school of thought....

BTW coil packs crapping themselves isnt really a problem.......

Has anyone ever mounted the FJ20 back for better weight distribution? What gearbox do you use? What do you do with the mounts?

How much heavier is the RB20 than the SR20?

18kg is still a fair amount and is backed by a six speed box. Its also more common and has newer tech so if you're tight like me it would have to be the cheapest way to go. (Not necessarily the strongest or most potential)

Actually only the S15 scores a 6 speed box outta the SR20 range....

    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
    • @GTSBoy iam not a mechanic so what could typically gone wrong? It can help my mechanic...maybe he just forgot something or something like that that could help. Yeah i thought. I took a LONG time to search for the right one. Yes i read about all of that and i give him a call about that. I look at those slave/master cylinders and they are not that expensive so i will be buying them anyway just to be sure.   @DuncanYou think it can be short? I double checked if that was a right one(it came with the clutch kit) Ok i will give him a call. Hope it is some sort of "little error" and not some "yeah the gearbox needs to go out" one
    • Temporary. Sorry about the inconvenience while we sort some issues.
