The SR20 can bolt-in to a Datsun 1200 without cutting the firewall, though it's easier with an original automatic-equpped car (which has a bigger central tunnel). The 1989 SR series is considered to be the replacement for the 1981 CA Engine. It is heavier and bulkier than the CA series, but the SR20 puts out more HP than the CA18 or CA20 engines.

Overview

• SR18Di was made for a while (1990-1993), but has less HP than a GA16DE engine -- see GA Engine Swap
• SR18DE made 125HP, but is much heavier and bulkier than CA18DE 131 HP
• SR20Di only 122 HP (single-point Fuel Injection)
• SR20VE is the hot one, with NEO VVL variable camshaft timing and lift. Unfortunately it was only available in FWD vehicles.
