SR20 swap in Canada
 

Hello everyone, nice to meet you all. I just joined this forum and it's nice to be in this informative place. :)

I just got my '90 240 and plan to do the SR20 swap ASAP. But the problem is I don't know any reliable tuner who can do it for me. :confused:

If anyone knows any trust worthy shop in Alberta, Canada, or in Vancouver, BC, Canada, please refer me to them. I'm looking for a long-term business relationship with the tuner if I'm satisfied by their work.

Thank you very much. :laugh:

there is not much in Alberta. I'm from edmonton and plan on doing a RB20 or SR swap some time in the next year myself. there are a couple shops in BC that can do it for you but the charge an arm and a leg ( almost 1500 CDN). it is not hard becuause you can send your harness to either SRSWAP.COM or unstable-hybrides and they will convert it for about 150 USD. Hit me up sometime

PS have you look at imorting engines?
ther is an 11% tariff plus about a 200 customs fee and tax on top of the engine and shipping.

Peace

To RS13:

Thank you for your reply. :) Too bad the only thing I can do to my car is refilling windshield water and changing tire. But CAD $1500 for the labour is still within my budget.

The thing I didn't expect was the tariff, custom fee, and tax. :confused: Does that mean, for example, if the engine + shipping is $5000, tariff will be $550, custom fee $200, and 7% GST on the engine ($5000)?

Guess I need to figure out all the costs before I go for it.:dunno:
Thank you very much again. And I'd like to meet you in person some time.

Cheers.

yea all that tax for just an engine. LOL on your skillz

R u in edmonton or clagary?

RS13, I see. Then in Canada, what's the lowest reasonable price on a good quality SR? I think I still need to get a shop in Vancouver to do it for me.

By the way, how do you think about CA18DET? Cuz I don't need more than 250 whp anyway.

Thanks again, man. Oh, yeah, I'm in edmonton. I think you're in edmonton too, eh?

yea i'm in edmonton

The CA18DET it not as cheap as you think. No 240 exhaust bolts up to it but a stock t25 turbo from a SR will give you alot of HP with minimal lag. you can easily get up to 250 with a CA and it revs like a honda:confused: it only has 1.8 litres but bolts right into a 240 with no mods. When you do you swap you will need a p/s resivoir froma 91 and probably p/s lines too. this adds about 500 to the cost

PS where did you get insurance from. i've been lookin and i'm probly gonna pay about 4200 a year (17 with no accidents and tickets:anger2: ) from Melchex Monex.

is it even legal to drop a sr20 into a 240 in canada??

check out the date mang!

over a year old thread.

Hey im new here but im also from vancouver. I just bought a 91 super hicas 240 and im planning on an sr20 swap too. first off sr20's are perfectly legal in canada from s13 through s15. second of all in vancouver a very trustworthy place is MF Technologies. Just google it their website is something along the lines of mfcorp.com. They are actually located just a few minutes away from me and i visit quite frequently. They have a couple 240s go in and out every day and charge roughly 4500CDN for an s13 sr20det swap. hope that helps.
