How long does it take you to swap in a SR20det?

[XBLG20]

Try 6 Hrs

"Mission complete. This is what the installed SR20DET should look like. Be prepared to troubleshoot. For example, the SR here wouldn’t start. Then it would crank, but it wouldn’t fire. After a few minutes of diagnosis, V-Spec traced the problems to a couple of easily fixed minor wiring goofs"

'nuff said. they didn't do it successfully in 6 hrs, nor did they really do any true prep work with new parts or doing the wiring on their own.

i would say... 3 hrs

"The KA24 has a distributor; the SR20DET uses a distributorless ignition system. As such, some of the wiring on the harness is incompatible with the car harness and the ECU. There are two ways around this: Modify the 240SX ECU to work with the SR20DET engine or use the SR20DET engine, SR20DET ECU, and a special engine wiring harness."
-someone needs to firebomb superstreet HQ for sayin this.

the sad part is it took 3 "real" mechanics(and God only knows who else) 6 hrs to do the swap, in a shop with a lift no less. i, only me no help, can do what they did in about 6hrs on a sat and it start the first time(assuming nothing major is broken).
