.40 over ga16de 200sx longblocks?

Question

Iam goning to replace the stock motor in my 95 200sx se. I want to replace it with another ga16de, but I want it ported .40 over. I would have just put an sr20de or one of the many jdm motors in but I love the reliability of the ga16de. So I think what Iam asking is; does anybody know of a machine shop that will port my existing block and port and polish the head for a resonable price? I can get ahold of a .40 over piston set easy but I would also like to find a shop that will port and assemble the long block so all I have to do is bolt on my accessories and install. Thanx

Answer 1

The SR20DE is just as, if not more reliable than the GA16DE...

Get the best, biggest capacity stock motor you can afford. An S15 Silvia turbo front-cut would be the way to go, I'd think. You can swap out the engine and tranny, they'll just bolt straight in, and you've got a 6 speed turbo weapon. You can fit the uprated front suspension and brakes too. Then you can sell the body work and supports to someone to make some money back.

Answer 2

Do a search for a cylinder machine shop in your area. Most will do exactly what you ask, but a lot of them are drop off and pick up. They will machine and rebuild but not install.
