is that possible to put a 1997 twin turbo engine in an s13...like without reabuilding the whole hood...it wouldn't fit would it? just thought i'd ask when i heard of some one doing it

 

You can do it in the S14 with custom fabrication...but it costs in excess of 10k+.

 

With a lot of money, yes

 

what if you have the motor how much would it cost to put in an s13 if any one can give me an estimate that'd be sweet...or if there are any other motors that would legaly work in cali that would also be most appreciated..since i heard of it i am very interested in the supra tt engine

 

Honestly...I'm thinking around 3.5k-5k of custom stuff you need to do, hell maybe more! And I'm sure the wiring is going to be a *****! There is a site somewhere about this swap I beleieve...search around and maybe you can find it. BTW, this motor would NOT be legal! Just because its a USDM engine doesnt mean its going to be legal. The only engine swaps that are legal are the engines that a later model of the car you are swapping it in(89 240sx with a 95 KA engine is a example.)

 

but if you have the motor, and the money, id do it over an rb swap just because of the aftermarket... it will be a project, but a fun one i think if you have the $$$

 

with proper custom mounts, yes, it can be done.

there are severals that have done this. one of them is a shop in CA,
