canada RULES

[nismon14]

this is my 1988 pulsar it has a motor out of a 1994 200sx slamed into it the thing gos like hell its been droped 1.5" has cams jwt ecm port and polsh over sized valves stock 5 speed with lsd just had it repainted can't wate for summer

[Matt]

Umm dude where is the picture?? :hitwall:

[BENRYS]

that is impossible

1. the 200 sx is rwd...
2. the engine is to big for the exa *correct me if i am wrong*
3. you would never work a rwd engine into a exa without HUGE mods...

[Matt]

This is NOT impossible. The 200sx engine is an SR20DET mounted in a RWD longitudinal configuration. Exas and Pulsars being in FWD transverse configuration would probably require new mounts, manifolds, and adjustments to fit the transmission in, even thought the block is the same. That said, due to all of these modifications required to fit a RWD enginie in FWD, it would be much easier if you obtained a FWD SR20DET (harder to find but easier to intall). Still, the SR20 conversion is still pretty challenging.. just ask Hairball.

[Mervic]

The 200SX in North America is the two door version of Sentra which is FWD. The 200SX in Australia is actually called the 240SX here. He is probably refering to the SR20DE (non turbo) that he installed. Its good for 140hp stock, which is little better than the CA18DE's 125hp. Although non turbo, but with ECU, port &polish job and cams, it can easily get to the 160-170 hp. That is about the same figures for stock CA18DET's.

[Matt]

Gotcha

[BENRYS]

hey man i know that a sr20det will fit in an exa, craig, steve and the like, but what i was saying is that the 200sx motor won't fit... cos its rwd... so thats why, i mean it may work but it wouldn't make the rears spin... thats what i was trying to say...

[Matt]

In america the 200sx is NOT a silvia (the 240sx)

The american car called the "200sx" has the same drivetrain as an Australian N14 NX Coupe & NX-R

Hey Nismon14:

I'm still wanting to see the picture!:D

Also - where in Canada are you?

[nismon14]

Here is my pic enjoy

[Nugget]

that looks like my car, only without the snow

[nismon14]

Here is a nother pic of my car

[nismon14]

The motor i used is the ga16de a1.6l twin cam. shit i wish i could find a sr20 but never the less my motor is good for 154hp(at the wheels)

[Matt]

Looks nice & clean! :D

[nismon14]

thanx man

[NX EXA]

What kind of stuff have you done to the engine? I have an NX 1600 that uses the same engine and I plan to power it up some in the future.

[nismon14]

Do you have the ga16i or the ga16de i know the bottom end is the same the olny diff is the de is twin cam and multi port injection. well any way i started with the bottom end and shot peened the shit out of the rods these are very week rods,then i had custom 4bolt maine caps made this was fucken costely,itook the head had full port work done then i had sr20 valves machened to fit got my hands on some jwt cams then i serched for some pistons the dude at the motor shop found some high compreshion pistons that would work this gave me 12.5:1 ratio then extrude honed the intake and put a sr20 throtle body on custom made a hedder and ready to install motor dont forget to use APR bolts eveywhere.got it all back to gether and because of all the motor work had to call jwt to get an ecm made outher wise the thing would not run right. had the flywheel litened and a jwt clutch installed it one fun honda killer

[Mervic]

Hey Nismon14, your car look sic. Where in Canada you located? BTW what was your original motor? How hard is the swap

[nismon14]

This swap is a pain in the ass you have to mod the right motor mount from the ga16i motor plus because i used a sentra trans witch has a vss insted of a spedo cable witch uses a different diff and drive shafts you got to mix and match drive shaft parts outher wise the right one is to long and will start clicking right a way you also have to graft the guts from the sentra's spedo into the pulsars cluster because the ecm needs a vss single to control the motor witch is easy because the both use 637rpmwitch=60km/h andyou can ues the pulsar gage face and needle. the olny thing is that the trip od dont line up with the hole in the gage face.the sentra's motor wireing is seperet from the car so the rewireing is kinda easy but my car started life as an xe with the e16i motor so there was not a lot of wires witch is really the hardest part even the exhast from the e16i lined up with the ga16de so do all the shifter shit. hear's a pic of the motor harness good luck if i can do it so can you peace shoot worng pic well this is half the harness the outher peace is about the same size you get the idea

[NX EXA]

I have the GA16DE. I probably won't do a whole lot of performance mods yet.....or at least wait until I have turboed my Pulsar. My Pulsar is where 95% of my attention to modding goes.

[nismon14]

nice body kit got any more pic you can send me like of the inside and stuff

Who's?

[NismoPlsr]

awsome


i think ur the first to pull that one off, sounds like a descent swap, with those right mods and a 154 at the wheels is pretty good and will KILL a fair amount of hondas :bounce:

[Mervic]

I guess your motor came from a late model 200sx since it uses the vss not the cable? I heard from a guy that did the same swap that if you have the GA16i and tranny it is easier swap since it is direct bolt in. Like you expereinced, according to him it is the wiring harness that is the most troublesome. I would like to do the same swap since the GA16DE's are abundant in many wreckers and Jap engine suppliers and cost a lot less than Sr20DE/T. You can even get a turbo system for it now too.

[nismon14]

yea the motor i used is out of a 1994 200sx and your right the ga16i is way easer to swap but is about 45hp shy of the de verson plus it does not have the same amount of tuning abilty due to fact it is tbi injection and in canada most pulsars came with the ga16i in them to bad the two use different wire harness and the de loves to rev fast compared to the ga16i

[Mervic]

Sorry nismon14, you must have misunderstood my post. What I meant is that the swap to GA16DE will be easier if you had a GA16i originally, since according to this guy I know, the GA16DE motor will bolt on to the GA16i tranny it came with. I have the GA16i and I want to try the same thing. It is still going to be difficult but with one less thing to worry(tranny) about. You still have not said which part of Canada are you from. Maybe this coming summer we (and other of Canadian members) can have a cruise or a meet, something like that. BTW can you post more pic of your engine, I really admire the work you did. Thanks.

[nismon14]

waz up sorey about that what i ment is your right but even know the trans will fit you need a vss (witch is mounted in the trans)to make the car run right heres the catch the spedo drive gear witch is mounted on the diff is different in the sentra so the vss will not fit in your trans with out changing the drive gear (its not that hard to change if you dare dissasemble the trans)but with out the vss the valve avance will not work right trust me i've been threw it man outher then that the dam trans is the same. And i live in kelowna BC Where are you?

[Mervic]

I am a resident T.O. I understand now that you mentioned the VTC feature of the GA16DE.

[gERVs]

hey nismon14,
i was thinking of doing that same engine swap, i currently have the ga16i, but im trying to get muh hands on the de version. I was just wondering what did you need to do the swap, cause i figured all i needed was the engine, since their both ga16's, would i have to change the tranny or anything else, lemme know cause i wanna pick up this new engine sometime this week before my car get resprayed.
:trippa:

[nismon14]

waz up to do the swap you need the motor trans ecm and the wire harness one thing you could try is get the vss drive out of a de car and see if it fits in you trans if not then you goto change the drive gear on the diff or just use the de trans one thing you will see is the motor mounts are different dont wory you ga16 mounts will work you just goto do some moding to the steel bracket that bolts to the right hand side of the head just so it clears the side of the head you will also have to mod the right hand drive shaft if you use the de trans i just uesed the de joints and put them on the pulsar center shaft for some reason the sentra had different wheel hubs you also have to graft the guts of the sentra spedo into your pulsar houseing (becaues you are using a vss insted of the cable to run the spedo this is easy to do and you can still use the pulsar gage face if you got any more things to ask just e mail me peace and good luck

[Mervic]

Hey nismon14, Your last pic attachment, its that a pacesetter header you have? DId you had problems installing the header? I bought a same one last year and still have not installed it yet.

[nismon14]

yes its a pace setter the only thing i did was cleaned all the weld splater out of the inside with a grinder and put 2" exhast on my car. the hedder kinda hurt the idle because it moves the o2 so it olny takes a reading from #2 cill im going to try moveing it down to the collecter but mine really dont idle that bad.try it
