sr20 was a stock engine for that car, he doesn't need to get engineering, nissan did it all for him.

If your putting a CA18DE, CA18DET, SR20DE or SR20DET in an S13 then you DON'T need an engineers certificate as the motor was already released in the S13. All you need is a blue slip to change the Engine Number down at the RTA.

I did a CA18DE -> SR20DET swap and I only needed a blue slip, so did DumHed and Snezy...
