Does anyone have experience installing a Nissan SR20DE or SR20DET RWD motor in a Locost?
i've seen it discussed, do a search for either wotsot called now, dett or se thingy. You'll know what i mean...!
they were RWD in most cases anyway weren't they? so *should* be very easy to do.
Someone was on about a skyline engine...

The SR20DE in my primera is fwd, sadly.
and getting rather rattly and underpowered now, done 95k. boo.
It's true, my 1.4 K-Series rover keeps up and it's supposed to have 20 less bhp. It is geared lower though.
Nissan Silvia and 200SX were RWD and have been discussed on here before. Both good motors, particularly the 1800's whose bottom ends survive
longer.
Look for CA18ET, CA18DET or (for the 2 litre) SR20DET.
The other SR20** engines from the rest of the Nissan range are much the same but being FWD obviously have different sumps etc. Without turbos they
aren't much to get excited about though!
