1996 200sx se questions

1. what engine did the 1996 200sx se have?
2. What did they run in the 1/4 mile?
3. Would a bluebird sr20det be a direct drop into the 200sx? or would i need new motor mounts etc.?

thank you.

anyone??

all 200SX SEs have the GA16DE (1.6L) engine. i don't know what they run in the quarter mile. as far as the SR20DET swap goes... i am currently researching the same swap for my car. i believe you will need SR20 motor mounts, axles, transmission, ECM, etc. like i said, i am still researching this swap but i think if you don't have a US SR20DE then a front clip would provide the easiest installation.

yeah I have a 96 200sx se it has a 1.6l GA16DE and the stock car runs in the low 18s in the 1/4
and yes the BB sr20det will fit in it but you need alot of work and the ser drivetrain. I'm doing this swap right know and its hard to find all the parts.

well then, i am very interested to about your swap 200sux. what have you purchased so far? and what parts do you have yet to buy to complete the swap? lets share notes :smile:

well I'm working on the ser parts I need first. I have an engine for around a grand(sr20detBB) that was the easy part the hard part is getting the ser trans,axles,ECU, harness and mounts. But it looks like I may have found a guy that has this stuff for me so I hope to have most of this by next month.
do you have any thing yet or are you just playing with the idea of a det swap right now. I would say its the way to go these car are quick after this swap. I just sold my 03 WRX(with mods) for this car because it can be a sleeper and fast.

To the best of my knowledge, this swap will require me to purchase the following parts (note - this is without the front clip available):

1. GTi-R SR20DET engine
2. FWD SR20 5-speed transmission
3. SR20 motor mounts
4. SR20 axles
5. SR20 ECU
6. SR20 wiring harness
7. High-flow fuel filter
8. High-pressure fuel pump
9. High-flow cat-converter
10. High-flow resonator
11. Mandrel-bent 3" pipes
12. High-flow muffler

let me know what you think...

I would say your right on track but you might want to think about your engine selection the GTI-R has a little bit diff. turbo config. and is harder to swap. The sr20det blue bird with the other oarts you listed will fit right in the GTI-r has a little more power but the BB can give you the same and for the $ you will save Its worth it plus you will need a Jim Wolf ECU if you use the ser ECU they reporgram them and its around 500 bucks but well worth it these set ups are putting down well over 300hp with a little more mods and some tuning....nooch

here check these guys out they are one of the best nissan swap places.

what if you had a 1996 200sx SE-R would the DET BB swap be alot easier? cause thats what i am buying.

Right now i have an Automagic 1994 Sr20DE Infiniti G20 (Wish it was a manual :(

the G20 and the SE-R are much easyer if you want to do BB swap. You will still need a ECU upgrade and a fuel pump at least.

if you buy from www.total-boost.com it comes with Tranny and ECU....or at least that is what it says in your cart when you press "Add to cart"

If u have a 200sx se you are a lot better of selln it and buying an ser. the fabrication and custon work needed to complete this swap is not worth it. I have owned an 200sx se and i contemplated doing this also i talked to alot of people about it and there is just to many things required from an ser to pull it off that it is not economically worth it. thats why i said screw it and just bough an ser.

GA16de. Also you will need motor mounts for SER and tranny. The axels are also needed because the little star side of it that goes into it is different. ECU will be needed and maybe. Also an exhaust.

why do u guys think the Gtir is a hrader swap? the same things you need for the BB are the same things you need for the Gtir!!! we have both engines in every sentra...4 door 1.6 200sx 1.6, se-r g20 we were about to put it in a b15! and jgycustoms.com are the most knowledgable on the nissan and swaps. and JWT

The 200sx 1.6 is not an SR. It is a 1.6 liter GA16DE. You need alot more parts to convert it to the 2.o. B14 SE-R Wiring Harness, SE-R heater Hoses, Axles, Axel Carrier Bracket, Passenger side bracket, rear mount bracket, SE-R radaitor, SE-R Tranny, SE-R Flywheel, and the SE-R clutch.

dont need the radiator and the heater core hoses and the rest is simple. same shit you need for the Bluebird you need for the Gti-r thats all i am saying. i have done this swap in a 97 200sx se and a 91 sentra 4 door 1.6. all that stuff that you mention can be had from your local junk =yard for little and nothing. and me being a part of one of the biggest se-r/ nissan clubs in the northeast helps. check the website www.teamserious.com there are at over 20 swaps from 1.6-gtir, 1.6-BB, 2.0-20VE and 2.0-1.6VE, 240-rb25/rb26 etc.

Hey guys, check out this website for your swap.. it may save you lots of headaches... www.totaljdm.com. These engines come with the ECU, HARNESS (extra $100), TURBO AND INTERCOOLER. All else you will need is the trans, mounts and drivetrain (try searching junkyard websites -- lots of them have inventory systems you can search). Then you could be a short drive and the help of a few friends away from a successful swap.

I have the SR20DET GTi-R swap planned and scheduled for next summer. I have an SE-R so it will be a little easier for me. Though I'm very intrigued by the fact that the engine comes with the 4WD transmission and I might step up to the challenge of converting it to 4WD instead of just throwing my old trans onto it.

Anyway, good luck, hope this helps.

i did the swap it was fun... learned a lot just go for it and have fun...also if need got and sr20de ecu for sale...

What do u guys think a 96 200sx manual with a cat-back exhaust and cold air inake would run in the 1/4 mile? and what about 0-60? also whats the stock HP off one of these? and what do u think it is with the upgrades?

well assuming that your talken about the se-r (i have one with a catback and cold air and alot of other stuff for sale) the se-r runs a 15.6@91Mph stock and a lil over 140 hp ... with what i've done to my car i'm prolly only putting out 180 hp but i run about a 14.3(was my average 2 weeks ago) and it wasn't expensive to make it fast

not quite sure, its my friends car, he was just wonder what kinda hp he had
