In this thread I will provide the information needed to deal with the problems/issues involved with putting the sr20det in the AE86

First you need one of these

and for the swap i obtained a running and driving S14 with the sr in it and parted it out and got the parts i needed off of it

sorry 20v fans but goodbye to this

E-Brake / Shifter Collision issue has been fixed... cut the handle down, drilled out the pin that holds the lock, shortened the rod and re-threaded it, then welded the pin back in place that holds the lock in the handle

trans tunnel has been cut for shifter, dont worry all removed metal was saved so it could be welded back in later if need be...

front K-Member has been dropped for tunnel clearance, im really not fond of this but evidently there have been no negative side effects from it on the AE2000

I could not find it in myself to use the OEM Nissan trans mount, I got the PEAK Performance unrethane trans mount, it is very good quality , notice i had to trim the bottom corners down for it to work with the SR86 trans mount

stainless braided and A/N fittings for the turbo, mounts are installed, and yes that compressor housing does say HKS

also for those who know me would have already guessed that i've had my hands in the wiring harness... it was hideous... but i fixed it as best as i could without cutting any wires...

engine in the car... painted the valve cover so it doesnt look so nasty

spec stage 3 clutch/flywheel

a pic of the Veilside chip

has to move the shifter bezel back and i cut the front of the center console down so it sits in the original location... these pics are with it in 4th gear and not hitting the e-brake. sorry for the darkness... bad lighting in the car at night in the shop

so the PEAK performance transmission mount was questionable if it would work since the mount kit was made using the OEM nissan trans mount but it worked out perfect, not problems with it at all

i reused the throttle cable from the s14

i was told the clutch slave line would have to be a custom deal... the ss line from the s14 worked

i am using the koyo radiator from the rolla... gotta make the upper line but i cut the lower sr hose and it worked fine... for the upper hose i ordered 2 90 degree elbows and a stick of aluminum pipe

so the sr has a electric speedo... and the rolla has a cable speedo... problem solved... mechanical speedo from a 280z... the sr doesnt need a speedo signal... but the rolla cluster does send an electronic signal if i need to hook it up

the turbo elbow pipe was reused from the 240... and it is a hackjob... here is a look for you to poke fun at... lol

got the elbow pipe bolted on... also just for shits and giggles test fitted the 240 megan downpipe... it lined right up with my existing exhaust, which is the same as the stock exhaust just bigger...
ground clearance doesnt look to be an issue either... acutally fits better than any of the headers i have ever seen for the ae86's... here is what it looks like

installed a 90 degree fitting so that i could run the factory AE86 oil pressure sensor and also can wire up the nissan one to a warning light later if i want, the main reason this was done was because the toyota sensor was too big and too close to the oil filter to fit...

interior is done... everything is in except seats, glove box, and pass kick panel... not putting that stuff back ion til i'm done with the wiring... put a new dash in it that was in better condition, put my momo wheel out of my ek civic in it, the civic hub bolted right up but doesnt cancel the blinkers, and installed the canandian twin cam kouki cluster, the european, australian, and canadian model gauges are plug and play for the US models unlike the JDM clusters which have to be wired in

I used a dakota digital tach adapter and the tach works perfect with the SR20 ignition system

intercooler is mounted and piping is welded... also meter and filter are installed... still have to buy the T3 radiator cooling plate to cover the intercooler when the hood is popped

toyota coolant temp sensor drilled and tapped in the lower water kneck, since it was so close to the nissan sensor i used the wire from the sr harness

Im sure you guys can figure out wiring, here is a peek at mine

Here is what it looks like in there and finished, I have to get my driveshaft made now and thats it

Modified by superfreestyle at 7:28 AM 12/11/2009

Mk1 supra 7.5 inch rear end and T3 custom 5 links for the supra rear end, contact gabe at T3 for this, it is not listed on their site

arp extended wheel studs for the lexus IS300 and extended lug nuts to keep it pretty

T3 camber plates.... check

rota grid offroads... check

also shoping for standalones

How bad was wiring did you mix the harnesses or use the sr and what about motor mounts maybe I missed it

for the wiring i cut the vehicle side plug from the dash of the s14 donor car and used an sr5 firewall harness for the guages, that way there is as little splicing into the my cars dash harness as possible and there is not work done to the sr20 engine harness so later if something were to happen i still have a completely wired plug and play s14 sr20 swap

driveshaft will be done wednesday... more updates then

Also what the camber plates are for if you would mind explaining that too .

Tried googling around but it was just kind of confusing.

Thanks for enlightening someone without this knowledge

the camber plates are to correct the difference from left to right... my car has been wrecked and my passenger side is .2 degrees off, these will allow me to correct the problem

the wires on my nissan harness were not the same as in the pic below but the pic below is to show you which one is which... bot of my wires were small.... the pin with the small wire in the pic below is to the charge light...

i did not use any relays, i simply extended my existing wires to meet up to my harness i made for the sr20 alternator

have you corner balanced your car or something??? let me know im interested in the reasoning

I dont get why your car sits up higher in the front , jus cuzza the weight? are you on stock suspension or coilovers???
