sr20det Rx7 Fc.. Something a lil different - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

assad112000 · 11-19-2012, 06:36 PM

Just got done with the SR swap into my FC. Definately a fun car to drive and just for anyone wanting to do the swap its actually not too difficult. Heres some pics

Sauce98 · 11-19-2012, 06:50 PM

Wow that sits in there just perfect and looks awesome. Good job man.

assad112000 · 11-19-2012, 07:04 PM

I know right lol. Had to cut the hood a bit but thats about it. Sr sits in there quite nicely except the shift is a lil to the right and not in the center but It still works out well lol. Only custom stuff i needed was driveshaft, custom crossmember, custom tranny crossmember and exhaust. And i just cut up the original stock sr piping

SuperSlydewayZ14 · 11-19-2012, 07:27 PM

How do you like driving it?

KendallH · 11-19-2012, 07:37 PM

Have more pictures? You should put up a full build thread. Car looks good

so basically everything you can think of custom?

lmao just messin shit looks good. I had a sr20 in my mx83 then put a rb in after, all sorts of headaches come in custom swaps but looks clean dude

jeb · 11-19-2012, 07:55 PM

In for a build thread and more pics of mounts and oil pan

Jay Gadsby · 11-19-2012, 07:57 PM

Great work! Makes me miss my old FC. I bet it's a blast to drive with some actual torque

HyperTek · 11-19-2012, 10:42 PM

I would consider this swap . I may be bias because i did swap an sr20 in my old s13. Not a fan of v8 swaps. But a good running rotary is pretty amazing too.

What did you do? motor mounts, tranny mount, and custom drive shaft? Suppose welding skills would be required for the mounts

ComicArtist · 11-20-2012, 11:57 AM

That's what's up! I just did a KA in my FC, not rich enough for an SR. It really isn't that hard if you're halfway good at fabricating, just motor mounts brackets, tranny crossmember, rear sump oil pan, rear sump pickup tube, and a driveshaft. And of course wiring.

1jzjoey · 11-20-2012, 12:08 PM

oh god, why would you put pistons under that hood? you still got the 13b/tranny/driveshaft/ecu/wiring harness?

anyone looking for details on a sr fc here ya go:

I actually just used the stock sr oil pan. Works great. ALthough i will be getting a custom one made as we all know the stock one sucks lol

definately a blast to drive with a welded diff. People always cant figure out whats in it cause it doesnt sound like a rotary lol

assad112000 · 11-25-2012, 09:43 AM

And btw i just moved the steering rack a little forward and lengthened the steering shaft so i could use a stock oil pan

future · 11-25-2012, 09:45 AM

It's funny how people talk shit abou no tq with the sr. And to a rotary guy it has tq for days haha

Clean swap

assad112000 · 11-25-2012, 09:59 AM

LOL ya ive driven a rotary and didnt really like it. Plus straight exhaust they are stupid loud

future · 11-25-2012, 10:02 AM

I think the top end makes up for it. They rev like a Honda

s13coupe92 · 11-25-2012, 11:25 AM

just curious, does any company make custom driveshafts, motor mounts and crossmember that you can just buy?? ive got a buddy who is looking to swap his new fc

assad112000 · 11-25-2012, 12:36 PM

usaully any local driveshaft shop can make it. Thats how i had mine made. And as for the mounts and crossmembers.. Im not too sure a company makes them. Mine had to be all custom

NickIsAZero · 11-28-2012, 03:39 PM

Awesome! Literally just traded my nicely built S14 for a FD and I already regret it..... Hmmm
More pictures?

assad112000 · 01-19-2013, 11:30 AM

Well lil update on this car.. I finally got some aero but only front bumper and sides and found out both of my hatch latches were broken so it would stay locked if closed. This really annoyed me since i have to climb through this small ass car to the back in between my cage every time just to open the hatch for to get stuff.. Well it annoyed me so much that i said screw it took off the hatch and am now in the process of making it into a truck. Works for me since ill be able to haul a hell of a lot more tires now!

assad112000 · 01-19-2013, 11:43 AM

heres some recent pics and ya the rear part of cage looks all wierd cause its not even hooked to the strut towers for right now.. and sorry for the pic quality.. lighting sucked

FCsr20 · 02-08-2013, 07:09 PM

How far forward did you move the steering rack? Have you noticed any bumpsteer at full lock? Im about do start this swap but was worried about modifying oil pan to rear pickup. This would make life much easier.

assad112000 · 02-13-2013, 12:56 PM

moved it forward maybe like an inch. and the oil pan just barely clears it

tylersweat · 03-22-2013, 12:54 PM

hey im going to be doing this swap soon, what intercooler did you use? and did stock radiator from the rx7 work?

assad112000 · 04-27-2013, 03:28 PM

Alright so i guess ill update u guys. I tried making a build thread on here but its been over a month and it hasnt been approved by a moderator so f*ck it. And as for the guy above I used a xs power mid mount intercooler with some chopped up sr piping with a 90 degree coupler on hot side and if u go for greddy/isis intake i used a 45 degree coupler for the cold side. Oh and for the radiator i went and got a junkyard radiator from god knows what. It had both outlets on the left side so it worked for me. And made some custom brackets and some custom radiator hose and it worked flawlessly. Pics are below of it

assad112000 · 04-27-2013, 03:43 PM

So about 4 months ago after taking it to a couple events i spun a bearing and got rod knock on #1 cylinder. I decided to fully build the bottom end which took a couple months. Went with all forged internals, acl race bearings, and arp bolts and also found y i got the rod knock which was from a broken s13 oil pickup. So i went and bought a s14 pickup and all new seals too. here is some pics from it.

assad112000 · 04-27-2013, 04:07 PM

Also started doing a truck conversion as stated earlier cause my hatch was broken.. Got maybe like 40% done with it before my engine went kaboom. So i halted it and spent all my time on the engine. But here is some pics it as it is now

Although after seeing this pic and sourcing down the wing on rhdjapan.com i really wanna get a hatch again and get this wing

assad112000 · 04-27-2013, 04:10 PM

Also did this cause my we had extra dry ice and i was bored lol

future · 04-27-2013, 04:17 PM

Looking good man
