As we all know, the Datsun/Nissan SR20DET is a legendary engine, but its replacement with a modern powerplant can be a great way to breathe new life into our trusty old Nissans. The original intention behind this topic was to explore the various options available for swapping in an alternative engine under the hood of these iconic vehicles. We're not just talking about any old engine swap here, folks! We're looking at engines that can provide comparable or even better performance and reliability than the SR20DET. With modern technologies like direct fuel injection and turbocharging, we can unlock tremendous power gains from relatively modest engine displacements. Some of you might be thinking of swapping in a more powerful inline-6, while others may prefer a potent V8 setup. Perhaps there are those who would like to see a high-revving inline-4 take the place of the SR20DET? Whatever your preference may be, this topic is here to explore all the possibilities and gather collective wisdom from our community on what works best (and why).
