Default does anyone sell a swap kit for a fwd sr20 for a 92-95 civic?

my friend has an sr20 in a sentra, and he is willing to give me the motor and everything i need off the car to swap it, just wondering if it is possible and also if somebody might make a complete swap kitor is it all gonna have to be fabricated on your own? thanks

He's not going to be able to get mounts made himself, much less the wiring.

Yes it can be done, but no, if you're asking about a mount kit you probally can't do it.

i was just curious about the mounts to make it easier on me, but thats not my worry, the wiring is what im questioning, and what would this motor be equel to swap wise? and do u think its worth the hassle even though the sentra is free of charge, all i forsure need is a new clutch

This is going to end up being a huge headache. I wouldn't touch this with a 100 foot pole and I consider myself to be one of the better mechanics on here.

ok thanks, thought it was worth questioning since it would be free of charge, not a practical way to get a car up and runing to drive to and from work anyways, might just buy a junk civic to fool around with in my spare time

With enough time and energy anything is possible, but there's a reason you don't see many of these. You can buy a Z6 or a Y8 swap for less than 500 bucks and have a decent running car instead of fighting with the SR20.

For a FWD car? Not that much better IMO. The FWD SR20 trannies can't hold nearly as much power as the RWD setups as far as I understand.

If i were you id pick that motor up from your friend, then turn around and sell it.

With the money you get buy a b18b or something and swap it in.... you should be happy with the power those make at a relitivly low cost.

Read the title of the chart, it was a misprint. They wouldn't write the same thing for both graph lines. Just in case you didn't see it, there IS a black graph line.
