    Dimensions of that engine are larger than a BP if you are going to use a B13 transaxle.

    Sure the engine will fit, but engine & trans won't fit unless you mount it mid-ship or something crazy like that. Even if you try to mount it longitudinally you'll be hacking up the frame, extending the front & doing so many mods that you might as well scrap the chassis & build a custom tube chassis.

    And why would I make a wager with you about anything if you are full of shit to begin with. Redtops were in silvias up until 1995. You claim your engine is a 1998 which is bullshit. If it were, it'd be a blacktop.

    Sure the swap isn't impossible. Let me know how it's going 4 years from now


    A b16a swap would be way more feasible. Seeing how a mini had that swap done w/success, it is definitely possible in a festiva and would make a better choice anyways. The SR20 will have such a peaky power band that you'll rip the chassis in half before you do any decent drag runs. B16A is more linear & consistent.

        I've seen some amazing cars built. I don't question peoples abilities till I see that half finish car for sale on ebay.

        What you can't make a typo these days? Maybe it just was looking at the wrong line and read the displacment of 1998cc. If you want to be anal like that it's not a Silvia engine, it's a Sunny.

              *cough*Silvias are rear wheel drive*cough*
              *cough*The engine is sideways in the picture*cough*
              *cough*That car in his picture is either front or 4 wheel drive*cough*
              Oh goodness can't stop coughing. He said it was a Nissan Gti-r, he never said it was a Silvia. Nissan Pulsar's are front wheel drive. Nissan Pulsar Gti-r's are 4-wheel drive. Say it with me Silvia's are rear wheel driven, Pulsar's are front and 4 wheel driven. Like the Mazda 323 GTX the engine is mounted sideways because the base car is a front wheel drive.

                  The only problem I have with it is that there aren't enough pictures I really want to see the finished project, good luck with it!!

                    Looks great keep it up and yes that is a Pulsar GTI R motor. Cannot wait to see this beast on the road. If I could quit burning my Festivas to the ground then I may be able to get the ball rolling on a project. First thing first is to get the Celica ALLTRAC running.

                    Has caught the most Festivas on Fire on this board!!

                            So, 3 days to fit it perfect, I mean perfect! You need to learn a thing or two. You should do some research or have experience with a mod before you open your mouth!

                            Nuff Said.

                                at least i thought your bumper would look phat and i was right about that lol


                                Good fuckin job man! I stand corrected & am impressed with your abilities to get that bumper lookin the way it does & fitting that engine in there.

                                Get some vids of it running 10's when your done
