yes… but manifolds and accessory brackets are different, not to mention the pulsar gti-r det has its own unique wiring harness (it doesn’t have coil-on-plug). ---

It’s definitely not impossible… it just might be more work than it’s worth. ---

Yeah for the extra 22 or so hp you will get from the gti-r it isnt really worth it but importing an awd pulsar would be quite cool. ---

uhm … How about the fact that the Pulsar’s valvetrain doesn’t involve magnets and divorced rocker arms? Or say … individual TBs? And the GTiR turbo is le sex. Get the GTiR motor, and buy a broken RWD SR for a couple hundred bucks (or buy the NA rwd motor from an importer for $300) and use the parts you need. Clutch and flywheel are different, few things here and there, but well worth the trouble. ---

Hehehe, now that you mention it … yes. Solid lifters in GTiR, Hard to have hydraulic solid lifters 😉 GTiR has mechanical valvetrain. Would seem redundant to make a better, more powerful motor without first taking care of the most obvious problem. Also has better valvesprings, larger valves, and bigger, stronger headbolts. ---

Well when you said the GTi-R has no divorced rocker arms I thought you were alluding to the fact that, while other SRs have one lobe driving two valves, the GTi-R is cam-on-bucket. Are you then saying that the GTi-R sr20det has 8 lobes per camshaft? ---

Don’t really know to be honest. I know you need different cams Silvia - GTiR, so I would assume so. But the heads are different too, so there might be something else to it. I’ll have to ask Mick nicely to take off his valvecover for me. ---

I THINK I read somewhere the rwd engine mounts don’t bolt up to the GTIR block. If you want a fast car that actually drives and doesn’t sit in a shop collecting dust with the rest of your hopes and dreams, keep it simple. Also the dizzy wouldn’t clear for shit with the fire wall. ---

So, essentially for the cost of modification to fit, you could upgrade a standard RWD SR20 to well above the advantage level of the GTiR SR? Sounds reasonable to me. ---
