I have a 1994 Altima and I've always had dreams of putting an SR20DET in it and switching the drivetrain to RWD. Has anyone heard of anyone doing this? Is it possible to swith the drivetrain? Would the SR20 work with an Altima if the drivetrain was changed? Please help because I need answers. Thanks

 

why?? but these people didint use a sr20 they use a ka from a 240sx http://www.locustom.com/rwd_altima.htm

 

thanks...I sorta just want something that not many other people really have and I wanted to be able to keep my Altima in the process

 

well if your planing to do dsomtying that noone has donw what dont you swap in a 02 SER from a sentra engine in there! and swap the traning from a 3.5 altima v6 so you wont have close gears and turbo it

 

in terms of money and practicality - its not worth it. if you want something unique that will forever be a project car - go for it.

 

actually, i was thinkin about doing the whole Se-r swap awhile back but last summer someone stole my altima and totalled it so now im looking to buy a new one. mine was a 1995 so thats probably what ill get again.

 

ok, a few quick answers and then i'll try and give some details.

first off yes it is possible to put an sr20 into an altima, and yes you would have to change the drivetrain, but rwd is not the only option

jdm factory makes basically a turbo altima with an sr20 in it. its an atessa aka "bluebird" but its drivetrain is AWD!! the engine, drivetrain, and some minor body changes it what seperates it from the altima

I thought about doing this with my altima but its getting old and id have to put too much money into it for it to be reliable.

anywho in order for this to work you'd have to get the sr20 motor...preferably the front clip. then youd get ahold of a tranny from a pulsar gtir and then of course change the drive train. i didn't get that far in my research but its not like this is that unique...unfortunatly for you. for the one of a kind part. you should be able to find the parts you for the drivetrain from the bluebird..and i guess you probably could get everything from it but you will need the pulsar tranny.

good luck.
