    Damn wish i could find the link to this guy that did this swap! Afterwards the front of the car was like up in the air because the engine was so much lighter and the weight was farther back and lower. He had to adjust the suspension quite a bit. The vq35 is super light, about 100lbs less than the ka24.

    I dont care about making a 500hp car, so not too concerned about how easily buildable the sr20 is. I just think it would be fun to have a nice smooth, torquey NA 240 with about 300hp, 300ft/lbs. Im not going to drag race it and i want to do something different. Its just an idea so anyone that knows anything about it im looking for info.

    The SR20 is like 75lbs lighter than the KA. It also gives the 240 almost 50/50 weight balance. For about $1800 and another $400-500 in swap parts (which includes a new clutch), you can't go wrong. Why do you think so many people have done it?
