Interested to know if anyone has successfully swapped a 3SGE black top Beams from JDM altezza into their roadster? Pics? Issues?
Yes I know SR20 has been done and in same family, but I would like to run N/A and the beams (on paper) has much more power than SR20DE without all the extra turbo challenges of a DET.
Thanks!

Similar power from other swaps like the Honda F20C (240hp) and Nissan SR20VE(200hp)

FYI a simple cam upgrade on a S14-S15 SR20DE will get you about the same power as a normal 3S-GE and much simpler to swap.ACGarage wrote: ↑Sun Apr 14, 2019 9:10 am Interested to know if anyone has successfully swapped a 3SGE black top Beams from JDM altezza into their roadster? Pics? Issues?

The wishful side of me wants to find a basket case roadster and shove a turboed 2rz/3rz into it with a 6sp frs/brz transmission behind it. Blashpemy and illogical I know. Will likely never happen so don't pick on me too much haha.
