This engine is hands down the best balance of power, handling, and drivability out of ANY Roadster engine swap that I have seen or driven. The car actually weighs 30lbs. less than it did stock with this engine/trans setup (1950lbs with a full tank of gas). The 5-speed shifter even comes through the factory hole in the transmission tunnel.

SR20DE Engine Swap
into a Datsun Roadster

PHOTO TOUR

With 150hp stock, a OD 5-speed, and sequential fuel injection, this car can be driven by anyone and has no bad habits. It is no different than driving my 1993 Sentra SE-R (with the same engine!) The SR is a smooth, powerful engine with a broad torque band, a 7500rpm redline, and the sweetest roar that screams that it is still a Nissan/Datsun under the hood.
