Michael. 2312 Report post Posted November 7, 2012 Welcome Sean. Any pictures? I recall seeing one for sale at a good price with a 4 speed automatic - perhaps its the same one? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yep it is a 4 speed automatic. No pictures at the moment, just getting a few things fixed on it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vagicle 1 Report post Posted November 8, 2012 Sounds like a beast, I'm keen to see some pics! Do you know much about the swap? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Having the same setup in my car it's a fair bit of a handful! Just glad I started with a 2.0L Honda when I was 16! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What you got a 2L??? i had a trusty 1300cc (i think, not sure) Sentra N13 Sedan. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michael. 2312 Report post Posted November 8, 2012 What you got a 2L??? i had a trusty 1300cc (i think, not sure) Sentra N13 Sedan. That said it was one of those weird 5 cylinder models.. made some quirky sounds but didn't really go anywhere in a hurry. For reasons I don't quite know, not long after I got it I went to a dyno day achieving a modest, 85kw @ wheels, bit of a laugh never the less! HA, I'm sure the 1.3 would have been more of a hoot!

_Matt_ 42 Report post Posted November 8, 2012 I went the other way, from a 2.8 inline 6 to a 1.3L 4 cylinder.... But that's just to save up for the 3.5 6er Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
