SR20 Bug....

Post by daveylin »

So my little roadster frame came back from blasting and powdercoating... and im thinking of putting a SR20 into it.... would this engine work? It seems really reasonably priced....

I know I would need to fabricate a few things, but are the major components here? Thanks!

Appears that all the goodies are there. Maybe Spriso can chime in. I have one just like it sitting in the garage waiting to be installed (damn winter weather.)

Yep, everything is there, and that would be a great engine for your roadster!

Let me know if I can help with engine mounts, etc. (See my ad in the Vendor Section!)

And yes, I will have an update on my SR swap into "BOB" later this weekend!

That looks like a very good price. I just bought pretty much that same set up from Dan at DGRFab in San Jose for quite a bit more. He had the clutch and PP redone and is also making up a wiring harness too though. Contact him as it sounds like he gets motors all the time. Nice guy.

Thanks for the advice, do you have contact info for them?

May just pick this up and see how much it would be for them to put it in... any guesstimates on how much labor is to install an engine?

I would give Dan a call before you spend your money elsewhere. He is very well versed in the SR20 and is a good source of info. You can reach him at 408-674-5390. Plus he's just up the road from you if you are in Milpitas. Good luck,
Mike
