Thread: Project to do a Qr swap into a B13..

Been done, seen it in NY one of my old street racing buddies did it after he totaled his Spec-V and didn't want to get rid of it cuz it was a fun car he said so he got a B13 to swap into, he lived in Newburgh when he had it completed, had to swap speedo, harness, computer, hub assemblys to fit the axles, used stock axles he said the hubs bolted right up to the B13 spindles, a-lot of other shit that I don't really remember the details to but it was all pretty much a straight forward except for (if I remember correctly) 1 or 2 mounts had to be custom, he sold it on E-Bay a while ago, but the car was beautiful and fast as shit, all motor with basic bolt-ons and S1 cams he was able to take "DE" 350Zs easily only difficulty if sourcing out the parts you may need because not a lot of people have done this so you will have to custom fab some stuff and space the hood by the hinges cuz he said the intake manifold on the Spec was a bit to tall and hit the hood frame (so either cut that section of the hood frame or do what the Hondas do and lift the hood

I'd love to see some pics. Since he sold it on ebay there should be quite a few. P

That was my buddies it was a white B13 and he actually took down the post ur talking about because Ebay said he had false claims (no proof of a motor swap or what engine is in the car) and they had gotten a complaint from someone who was supposedly interested, because there was no engine bay pic, so he re-did the post and put up pics, but he sold it to some dude in Idaho basically they did it outside of Ebay because the guy had offered him a decent amount and didn't want to wait for the auction to end...

There was even a video of him SPANKING a Type-R swapped EG hatch by lengths in Yonkers, but I haven't seen or spoken to him in years he kinda fell off the map when he sold the B13 had a baby on the way and all, I'll call him when I get home from work hopefully his number is still the same...

Here's a FS thread from the SR forum:

B13 QR25 swap for sale or trade... - SR20 Forum

Here we go....

Sweet, but this one is about a year ago, My buddies car was sold over 3 years ago, it was white yea but with the stock B13 SE-R interior, just 4 kenwood speakers with a pioneer headunit, and this guy got his engine to fit with no problems, WoW I'm impressed looks like people have made decent ground as far as this swap goes...

Neo VVL or avainer sr20 swap.

There is a white b13 in nj that had a qr swap in it I remember seeing it forsale about 2 years ago on the sr20forum

Old thread but...........

SR24ve > QR

I'll go 1 better

SR24VE>VQ35

But for example, my vq is bone stock I can throw a few psi at it if I wanted. but sr24ve is nice.

No reason why you couldn't also throw a few psi at the ve, as well.

U know what the cpompression ratio was on that 307whp one?
4 bangers are easier to work on, v6 ftl.

There's no definite answer as this is not you would call a normal swap since it's only been done once that is know of.

There's one guy who actually did a b14 swap (which should be relatively close to do a b13 swap) back in 05. He did sell it after he was done though. Here's a link from b15sentra.

250sx Is Alive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - B15sentra.net - Nissan Sentra Forum

No pics though.

i'm in the process of doing this as well, havent really heard of anyone doing it so i thought it'd be a fun car. final goal is a fully gutted 600whp drag car. it's a long way out but you can guarantee that'll it WILL get done
