Who's installed a Nissan 200SX engine?
Thinking about fitting this engine to my Locost. Can you point me towards someone whos done it? I naturally have a few questions and would like to
trawl their photo's.

I think that is what graemeMK has in his Indy...
Could be wrong though...

There is no replacement for displacement...

Check the nissan SX200 owners club site for known problems before you buy.
I believe they can suffer from a problem, which isnt cheap to fix (on high mileage / worn engines). Hence buying a good one in the first place will
save you time, money and grief later on.
Excellent engine, my mates son has one. and it goes very well.
1. The point of a journey is not to arrive.
2. Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.

Ditto for the 2.0 V6 FTO engine. I looked at one of these but they can be frought with problems that cost £££ to fix. - Particularly around the semi
sequential gearboxes IIRC.

Check out the PUMA cars in Australia. They fit the Nissan SR20 DET engines. The cars are 75mm wider and 50mm higher by memory to fit the engine and
the alternator has been moved to the other side.
Great engine and good horse power.
Cheers

Scoop,
the SR20DET will virtually fit in a book chassis but we add 2" to the height as these motors are rather tall I have one fitted to mine but its
2"taller2"longer and 4"wider and it all looks uniform and yes the alternator is in the way of the steering column so it has to be
relocated.
Cheers MickA from Australia

I've fit a CA18DET, which is a bit smaller in output (173 HP supposedly) and 1.8 (instead of 2.0) than the SR20, but is a bit taller. Send me an
email or u2u and I'll link you to my picasaweb site.

U2U sent RK. It may only be 173 standard but it looks easy to get a loads more out of it especially when your mate is Dave Green of Henstead
Motorsport fame (if your into turbo'd Jap cars that is)
