A wiki page or section for the SR20DE swap would be really helpful.

Well, I started a place holder in the tech wiki for the info. Now, we just need to populate it.

What I'd love to see is a bulletted check list of things/parts to think about. I know every car and swap is different, but something like:

* Radiator
* Engine mounts
* lower water neck
* alternator
* gauges
* etc.

With each linked to different options.


EDIT: oh wow, you're already on your way to that. Nice!

Bottom radiator hose is actually a 3 piece. A rubber elbow from stock thermostat housing, 6" section of aluminum tubing beaded, then another elbow to the Ron Davis radiator. Looks mostly like a factory install because there's so much stuff in the way down there you can't see the intermediate aluminum connector tube. No temp switch, I'm using the S14A ECM fan on /fan off output to drive the fan relay. So no modifications to the thermostat housing.

Regards,
Steve
