510 Wow

[solotop186]

I own a nissan sentra se 92 its a 1.6l

i wanted to do a sr20det swap with my sentra and i was doing some reading

i read something saying a 510 is the best candidate for the swap, i said to my self what is a 510

well i seen a pic and i love the look and style i search ebay and auto trader none for sale

whats the deal with these 510s also what other engine fit in with no problem

thankssss

I'm no expert, but from what I know the 510 will fit the following Nissan motors: L series motors, the KA24E, KA24DE, SR20DET, VG30DE, CA18DET, FJ20DET(not sure of the name), NAPS-Z motors, and Z-series motors (not out of Z-cars). It will also fit the following non Nissan motors: Mazda 13b rotary, various other Toyota motors, and I have even seen Mazda Miata motors, and most impressively Ford small block V8s. I am currently researching the feasability of Nissan VG30DETT, and FWD Sr20DE swaps. If I have forgotten anything, or if there are any other motors, that I may not know about.

the fwd SR swap won't work without a custom bellhousing.
and intake manifold?

When performing a SR20DET swap in a 510, it's best to get yourself a S13 front clip from a Nissan Silvia. This way, you have the engine, tranny, ECU, and harness.

This is the swap I'm planning for one of my 510's.

Here is a 510 swap performed by Kevin Neely, which is one of the resources I am using in my swap.

Kevin Neely's Project 510

It's a great swap to perform, because you get everything out of it that you could imagine.

Mario Lozano of Toespeed Racing is the master of 510 SR20DET swaps.

He is a very busy man, so if you call; use your time with him wisely.

Good luck with your project..

cool.. hey man where are you located? are you in socal? I have a 510 with an sr20det, i know kevin and mario... cool people nice to work with.... i like the corolla too... do u have any monterous plans for the corolla?

Sorry...haven't been on for a while...

I live in Brooklyn, NY.

I'd like to do a 3S-GTE swap in the Corolla, but I need to see how the money goes...

I never met Kevin & Mario personally, but I've spoken to Mario once via email. I've heard great things about them both. For Mario to answer my email was a plus, due to the fact of his hectic schedule. I've also dealt with Dean Sherman a few times, bought parts from him on a number of occasions.

I used to be on the Bluebirds list, that's where I heard about these guys. Too much email though, so I got out of it. If Bluebirds goes to forum format, I'll come back. Lots of nice people there. Very knowledgable and always willing to help out a fellow dimer.

ive seen someone put a honda s2000 motor in a datsun 510 before it fit in pretty good and it was easy because s2000 is rear wheel drive.

That will never happen.

Personally, I prefer the email style. Easier to check whenever I feel like it. And the delete key is pretty easy to hit...

Now if you were reading it online (MSN, etc.) it would be a whip. But reading it in Outlook is pretty quick and easy, even with 50+ emails a day.
