sr20de arrived today

[shant67]

I used parts both from a 2000 civic gas tank and a 1997 integra gas tank to modify my fuel tank. I used the integra fuel pump and the civic fuel sending unit

Can't wait to see it Shan't. Give us notice when you take it to SuperCar Sunday, and a fun run would be neat also.

Shant,
Great progress! This is also inspirational for folks that might feel an SR20 swap is a "costly" alternative. Mods can you please move this to the Engine Swap section?

I had originally planed to spend 3k on my swap but I fell 1.5k short. here is my sr20 swap in a nut shell

engine trans and ecu $1300
wiring harness $500
engine mounts $350
engine jig $150
alternator bracket $250
alternator $65
exhaust manifold $75
civic aluminum radiator and fan shroud $150
fuel tank mods and welding $500
battery relocation $100
fuel line and tools to complete the job $100
also add $300 for miscellaneous parts

I still need to purchase
mass air flow sensor +- $200
drive shaft +-$300

this is not including many hours of labor

[shant67]

Update: i have finally finished the swap on my car. I am super happy with the results so far, the car feels super responsive with plenty of power. I will add some more photos and videos soon.

[Linda]

Yay! Good job!

[Alvin]

Wow that was fast Shant!
Looking forward to your report

[shant67]

Thanks guys I guess 11 weeks for a first timer is not too bad. This was also my first time welding and performing any kind of fab work.

[shant67]

during that 11 weeks I also sold and installed my old complete motor and trans to a friend ....

[nismou20]

Shant, great! I'd like to see it. Tell us when you can come out and play.

[shant67]

I'm hoping to make it out in 2 weeks ... See it !!!! You are more than welcome to test drive my car

[Alvin]

Shant please post that acceleration video, it made my day!

[inline4]

so what parts did you end up underestimating?

[shant67]

@inline4 at first i figured all i needed was the engine and trans $1300 mounts $400 maf $200 rad $150 engine harness $500 and $500 for extra parts. Then there were other expenses that i didn't calculate. I figure $4500 is the bare minimum to install a sr20de if you can perform all the labor.

@Alvin Im going to make a nice video soon ...
