Coworker just gave me a free sr20det… so it begins!

Post by axialflow »

My ‘1600 has been running fairly well the last couple years I’ve had it. Never driven it far, only been stranded(sorta) once; brakes leaked out, though I limped it home with just the parking brake and downshifting.

Always shown interest in an sr swap and yesterday my friend from work came by and dropped off a red top!

The short of it is he has a couple MGs, one of which is completely modded and had an SR20det in. He got a wild hair on his ass that he wanted 400+ hp, found a built s13.5 sr20det, and bought it, not leaving him with an extra one that he felt I should have for my roadster.

I don’t even know where to begin, other than buying a whiteboard for the garage finally lol.

I’m open to all the advise, and criticism!
