Actually wiring is the easiest part of the RB20 swap. It took me an hour and a half to figure it out and get it done.

There is nothing like testimonials from people that have done the work. I love passing the word around but it is great to hear it straight from the horses mouth.

How do you like the RB20? Was it worth the work?

I had nothing but an interior harness from an R32 and a fuse block from an R32 and teh knowledge of what is needed to make a car run electrically, found it on the fuse block and got teh color of wire from the R32 harness and did the same for the 240sx harness. It took an hour and a half. I belive I was the first to do it this way without a shop doing or helping.

Rudeboy, what happened? You wanted to buy the trans off me and I gave you a KILLER price....then you never show and dont return my emails, you all talk or what?? Even if you sent me an email to let me know you werent coming I would have been fine with that. What makes you so freakin important?? Your time is worth more than mine? You are all talk, lost all face with me, if that means anything to you.

Well apparently the exhaust cam was bent or something and it blew up the exhaust camshaft, the head, crank angle sensor, CAS sensor, 2 bearing caps, 3 valves, 2 gaskets in disassembly, and now I am waiting for new parts. I only had the thing running for about 20 minutes total. Really pisses me off. I would like to see your car however. Let me know

The motor is under warranty, I just have to pay for the shipping to get the loaded head here and the gaskets. The guy I bought it from runs a small business and is really cool to deal with. If any of you are interested in SR20DETs, let me know I'll have him get ahold of you. I bought the motor in February and it blew up 3 weeks ago and he is still covering it for me. I highly recommend buying from him.

Dude, I would definitely be interested in dealing with someone so cool about covering that stuff. He can contact me at wu_shoe79@hotmail.com if he is interested.
