I looked into the SR20DE for my custom. It does come from Japan and easy to
get. But cost was a factor for me. All said and done it would have been
about $3000.00 - motor, trans, electronics, shipping .... complete. Cool
motor and cutting the X member is no big deal - easy to reinforce. So, I
went turbo 3.8 V6 and no cutting the X member. Cut the fire wall, rear X
member, exhaust holes in frame... but not the front X member:) Cut away,
reinforce, have FUN!!

Is the SR20DE used in any rear-wheel drive cars?
