Upgrading the Nissan B12 with the SR20 engine. Elders opinion is highly needed

Niko na body poa ya B12, rust-free and never been in an accident. It has the GA15 DE engine, but I want to upgrade to the more powerful SR20 engine.

The question is, do you need gearbox mods as well? Ama the native 5 speed gearbox is plug and play with the SR 20?

I have seen guys fit the B15 engine, the QG15 DE, onto the B12 without doing any mods on the gearbox, I was wondering if its the same with the SR20.

Mechanics wanasema vitu diffrent and don’t know what to believe.

You will need gearbox changes or modifications.

SR 20 works better in a B12.

He will need to reshape shifter linkage, na pia modify engine mounts.

You will have to modify the gear to. I worked on a similar project kitambo with a mech friend. We installed the B14 engine on B12. Quite straight forward and at first we retained the 4-speed gearbox but the discordance was evident and we adjusted. So for a completely new engine design with different power, torque configuration you may have to mate it to a gearbox that can handle it smoothly.
