P11 G20 w/ QR25DE swap... @*#&!!!!

In what may be one of the wildest swaps ever, a friend of mine is working on a 2.5 L (2002 Sentra V-Spec) engine swap into a 1999 G20. This is no normal QR25, he has already fabricated a turbo manifold complete with a modified T04E Drag turbo w/ spearco intercooler and a massive 3 inch downpipe. He had to do some heavy modification to fit the 6 speed tranny. When we figure out all of the wiring, he will have the first ever G20 with a turbo 2.5. He estimates the combo will have at least 300 wheel hp. Hopefully this project will be complete by early 2002.
Estimated cost for all of this- $8500

Where did he get a QR25 from already? I'd like to come check it out. I'm not that far away (Toledo, OH).

wow, that sounds hella tight! good luck! you got any photos of your friend's ride or yours?? they both sound pretty sweet!

So....

Where did he get this engine and gearbox since the 2002 SE-R Spec-V isn't even on the market yet and the Altimas just shipped this week?

good question....

More importantly - how did he figure out how to weld all the mounts required to get that thing in there?

Yeah and I just popped an RB46dett in mine with an AWD kit...Funded by my spree oif bank robberies in the last week :)

No but seriously I need pics and explanations or else to me this post is a crock.

He lives near Gary, IN. And I guess one of his dad's friends is an executive for Nissan in the sentra developement division, and he got hooked up with the engine at the end of june because they were in town for the Hot Import nights in Chicago. Mind you, the car has not ran yet, and we aren't sure if we can get the wiring to work. It has not been completely put into place, just temperarily to see if we can make it work. This is one big experiment and I hope it will work out for him. As for pics, I don't have any, maybe I can have him send me some. Also, I will soon post a few pics of my 92 G20 to see what you guys think of it. It does not even look like a G20 from the back view. You'll see the extreme body mods when I post the pics, hopefully some time this week.

Dshaft, were you at the supershow at the lucas county rec center this past sunday? If you were, you would have seen my G20. I managed to pick up a third place in the import wild category. Also, a good import performance shop in the Toledo area is Defcon Motorsports, they can get almost anything for the SR20.

heheh Well I figured anyhtings possible...some people are swapping wiht motors that aren't released yet.

I was gonna go but things got stupid crazy that Saturday night. You should said you were gonna be in it; i would've been there for sure. I really wanna check out your ride sometime if you're down in Toledo send me an email or post something.

well is it done yet???? you said early 2002, its 2003 now...?

ho ho ho talk about digging up old threads! :D

But I reeeeaaally don't think you will here anything from him! His last log on was 03-14-2002 :)

I call BULLSHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D :flipa:

The swap didn't work, it was getting very expensive and he wanted to get the car running quick so quite a while ago he put in a bluebird DET. He ended up selling the 2.5 engine and carring over some of the parts to the DET.
