Since selling this starion and loving the Nissan engine, I bought a 350z which was a very nice car and now ive got the very last R34 GTR which i think its an awesome package. Stay tuned I should have some videos of my GTR coming up soon.
mate i used the starion crossmember, starion engine mounts and the nissan brackets that bolt to the SR bolted up. the engine sat too high though and the gearbox wouldnt fit in the tunnel so i used steel plates that bolted to the starion engine mounts and welded it to the nissan brackets which allowed me to lower the engine enough for the gearbox to fit in the tunnel nicely. it also allowed me to move engine back or forward to my liking. gearstick come up through the hole in the tunnel as normal
Car has been tuned recently to give a little less power, but better response throughout the rev range. It's a lot more driveable and less recalcitrant now.
On Nissan engines vs Mitsubishi engines - Nissan parts are WAY cheaper, and a lot easier to find where I am. Lots more places here are familiar with them too.
I have other Starions with the OEM 4G63's in them. They're always going to sound better, especially the SOHC engines, but SR20's are just all round easier
blah blah your car sucks blah blah nissan motors blow blah blah i cant believe you stupid cunt. JUST KIDDING. Love the swap, nice car, fuck the haters.
what the fuck....... Why would you put a sr20 into a starion/conquest? first off the sr20 is garbage compared to 4g63 2nd the swap is way more expensive than a 4g63 and 3 its a mitsubishi.. why put in a nissan motor? They ruined this car its hard enough to find a clean starion/conquest this is just one more thats ruined. Poor car i feel bad for it
I had a 88 Starion same color with Black interior, I put a new engine and transmission, I did everything to make it orginial, But was impossable to keep in running, The car was so much fun to drive. I ended up giving the car away
older starions/conquest were no intercooled. Later models were. Power ranged from 145-178. The 2.6 is a pretty decent motor if you do everything right. I just rebuilt my motor for about $250. Its cheap if you know how to do the work yourself. Next up is an sr20det with itb's
@jdmpollo What?! Seriously? I just picked up a pretty clean 87 Conquest and can't wait to start building it for a nice DD. How in the world did you rebuild it with just 250 bucks?!
where and for how much did you pick it up for? the way I rebuilt it was by using the most inexpensive parts I could find. ebay pistons and such. I did the work myself and saved money on all the labor. Note that it was not a complete rebuild. Just bottom end.
HAHAHAHA you are so dumb. you dont know anything about cars dude. its clear that you just copy pasted those facts about the conquest. want more proof? if you knew the first thing about how NA and TURBO systems work, you would realize that it is impossible to have individual throttle bodies on an sr20det, which is turbocharged. itb's are only put on na cars to increase collective intake volume and shorten the gap the air has to travel before it reaches the engine. it also improves injector
Ignorance. Apparently you happen to be the one who does not know shit about cars. The 90-94 Nissan Pulsar GTi-R's came with quad throttle bodies aka itb's. The motor is the sr20det n14... go kill yourself
jj the original 2.6 is junk, the timing pieces cost more than it would to rebuild the stupid engine. If the slack adjusters in the timing case wear then you are in for it. It is way easier to just swap a 4g63T into it than make the 2.6 better.
Your wrong :D I'm 90 percent sure Starions did not come intercooled from factory but I do know that 83' 89' 300zx's equipped with VG30ET's (as aposed to the jdm RB20DET) do not have factory intercooler as the low boost levels (6.7 psi) were designed to keep temps down and response up.
and your 90% is wrong starquests 85 and earlier had no intercooler with the excepition of the 85.5.....any widebody models which were built 86-89 cam standard with an intercooler........so dont say shit on youtube unless you know its right that is unless your anther ''ive had evry car and know everthing about it and im also a professional drifter'' jdm fags get a life quit fanicizing
You seem to like to think YOU know everything corecting people with an asshole manner. I was having a conversation with someone and you decide to talk shit? Don't presume to know what kind of enthusiast I am. I never said anything about knowing everything About anything. You said not all models came intercooled so I'm partially right way to argue a moot point. And you talk shit about people that drift? Drifting takes tons of skill that I doubt you posses :)
Why the hell someone put SR20DET engine, that come from Nissan 200SX S14 and S15 (beautiful and much newer body shells) into such a ruler-by-shaped Starion with interior looking like from 70's??? (I like starions, they are great runners, but with their own engines (2.0 or 2.6 liters... ...
Shit ill buy for 30 grand hard car to find.I these cars have a beautiful body man, the ride is smooth really stable on sharp turns.If engine is a problem just use your head to make it better.
I found a Mitsu Starion yesterday mistaked it for a ae86 (at night) plus its already black in white my friend was with me and he's looking for a ae86 corrolla but maybe we'll just take that Mitsu and put a sr20det. although i hate to think what a waste of a Silvia they usually cut up good running cars but i guess can't really import the whole car here anyways and if ppl weren't using engines they would be being crushed anyways. I imagine its hard to register an old car in japan via emissions
these are kickass cars...however the first one i owned only had 63,576 then the motor completly seized when i stopped at a stop sign how screwy is that
yeah they got the wheels on needed to make some spacers and mod the struts to clear the tyres but it was worth the pain and looks great with the red walls
nice starion I had one just like that 88 silver hks intercooler catback, sheered the driveshaft right off that thing, some guy drove 300 miles to buy it from me to tow it home.
Starion4me, why go with the nissan? Not that the SR20DET is a bad engine, but wouldnt a custom swap like that be harder than to just build up the 4G63?
I had a picture of this car as my desktop for the longest time. I had no idea that there were vids of it! Pretty cool dude. I have a 1987 TSi in what looks to be the same silver (H43 paint code) lovely. I don't understand the sr20det, but to each his own.
my friend has a conquest and we're wondering how much you have to mod the shell to make it fit in there? any help/answers would be appreciated cuz it's our summer project. thanks

spray pattern. a turbo vehicle will have pipes coming out of the intercooler, going into a large single intake manifold and throttle body.
