SR20DE(T) swap possible on a 240s?
Now give me a straight answer here.
Is throwing in a SR20 into a 240Sx just as impracticle as doing it on an Altima?
Would it be tougher/easier than an Altima?

umm..no way. an SR20DET is a direct drop in with slight modifications.
older 240SX(S13) 91-94 will swap in a SR rather then going turbo. some may argue this, but a lot of people have/are doing it.
plus, you can get a SR20DET front clip for about $2500-3000

An SR can mean an FWD SR20DE, a FWD SR20DET (bluebird), a RWD SR20DET (Silvia), a RWD SR20DE (NA silvia), or even the newer SR20VE.

Yea the FWD SR20DET from the Nissan Bluebird. Not an impossible swap, pretty sure the bluebird is the jp equivalnt to an altima, just make sure if ordering the engine you get the FWD version and not the AWD version
Oh and im not sure an sr16ve exsists, the SR in a nissan engine code is the block idenfication code much like the vg and rb and ca and so on. a 1.6 (the next two numbers in the code) stand for the liters so basicly to have a sr16ve the block would almost have to shrink.

There's more than just SR20's..

There were SR18Di's in R10's, P10's, U12's, SR18DE's in R11's, P10's, N14's, N15's U13's, and U14's, SR16VE's in N15's (Pulsars).

cool, im mainly familiar with the sr20det swap for the 240sx/silvia. altimas are new to me, and i will probably never have much interest in them seeing as how i despise FWD cars. ( no offense intended to any altima owners)
As for the engine size question, shesh they use enough variations of it, it really should have been easer for me to find parts for my SR20DET when i rebuilt it.
