    Posted: 22 Mar 2019 at 1:22am
So, I've been thinking about starting this big project for my P11. It currently has a GA16 with a five speed manual and is LHD. Been thinking about swapping an sr20ve engine with the six speed manual transmission from a JDM p12. I have a possible deal on the engine that comes with the trans, ecu and wiring harnessess.

Now I have a few questions.

1. What are the obvious changes I need to make since it is a GA16 to SR20 swap on a p11?
2. Does the transmission fit in place and if not, what changes need to be made?
3. Since it's a JDM engine, will I run into problems with mine being a LHD model? For example not being able to get the AC working etc.

For parts I can get a p11 GT parts car for pretty cheap. Any help is appreciated, I've tried looking around but I didn't find anyone swapping a p12 sr20 into a p11 Si. Thanks!

Thank you! Build is currently just in the planning phase but as soon as I get enough information and the required funds it will be on the way.

Right now the plan is:
1.Swap the engine and trannie and get everything functional
2.Disks in the back
3.Slamming it with a BC-racing kit
4.Get all that shit street legal

And some additional steps I have in mind for later on down the road:
5.Nice performance exhaust
6.Some sweet new rims and tires
7.Maybe a paint job? I wanna keep the sleeper look so nothing too flashy but some nice new paint and getting it rust protected (Finnish winters aren't too nice on our cars)

You've probably already came across this by now but I know when I swapped a sr into my ga16. The chassis gearbox mount was different from a gts. Other than that my mounts and box lined up. This was on a rhd tho
P11s gotta catch em' all
