looks like a lot of body work...

have two questions for you guys.

1. would you buy the car knowing what needs to be done to is, assuming you dont already own one

2. how much do you really, honnestly think it would cost to get this car in good working order, besides the body work. parts that come with it are:

MAF & S-AFC - not installed
Brand New OEM Water Pump-not installed
AutoMeter Guages: Air/Fuel...Oil Pressure...Boost-not installed
Cluster from a KA24DE, but its needs to be installed
Inner and Outter Tie Rods with the boots for the inner tie rods-not installed
Voltage Stabilizer-not installed
Ebay Turbo Timer, not installed
255lph Walbro Fuel Pump-not installed

 

update....

I have come to so kind of sence and decided not to get a car...
for now im going to somewhat invest my money (so i cant spend it) and wait untill future date for my 240 project...

i will still be around on the forums all the time.... i love this place, SOOO much good info

 

Good decision man. That car is ready to be parted out, not fixed up.

 

ok let him sit is own money pit... dont buy.. Unless u want to part it out for him.

 

isnt this the car posted on criagslist?

 

it could be. he said he put it up on a few dif. sites

 

Yeah i think i saw that car on EBAY or Craigslist. I looked at it for a sec. and clicked the back button on my browser real quick....

Seen that ghetto wiring......good choice in not buying that junker...

 

he really wants to get rid of it. so if anyone needs parts from an RB20 or wanna part it out hes askin 2000 cash. if you have the resources im sure you could make some ok money parting it out.

 

where is he located at and is the engine in good shape?

 

EWW!!! keep away from that thing, that thing looks like it has more problems than its worth. i got an rb20 in my s13 and i love the hell out of it untill it ceased but that was my fault... rb20 r sensitive not to sound gay or anything but u gotta take care of em. an that dose not look like he gave a ****

 

well me personally coming after someone else wiring is and eye sore and pain in the asses

anyone who slams a motor into a car with stock suspension has an issue of impatient and more than likely wants to just drive the **** out of the car asap.. i have been in the game for about 12 years lol i have seen it time and time again.

 

What do u mean sensitive? I'm a fellow RB guy. Just want to know what u mean?

And Biggamehit i dont think who just "slams" a different motor in means they are going to "just drive the **** out of the car asap" I didn't. I needed a motor with my car. It was close with a quote with a new KA that I got. The RB was maybe 200 more, and more power and what not. Easy choice. The guys that put it in did some of the wiring wrong. but i fixed it. I know with some people it's like that, but dont say all are like that. : )

 

bro im not speaking of all.. im speaking of who i know and seriously .... putting a motor like that in a car with bone stock suspension is just not good.. no matter how you justify it bro.. its just not safe one and two on the track it would be horrible..

im not attacking you personally but i get the same **** about why i wanted to go ka-t... so be it lol.. I could careless what anyone does to their car, its not my money.

 

Biggamehit: no i do understand what u are saying to a point. Here's my point on it. The RB only puts out maybe 190-200 the the wheels. Nothing else then a small turbo on a KA with stock suspension. But there's also so many factors to deal with car could handle then just the HP of a motor and suspension. I know that with my car it could end up unsafe at times ( like with rain and snow) which could also be a tires thing. But with "on the track" part there's tire pressure, track temp, what type of tires, what size of tires, temp of the air, etc....

I'm not saying ur right, but i'm not saying your wrong

I'm a Engineering student so my set of mind is to just ask every question there is. State what I think, and get a feed back, but i need a reason why for your answer. I'm a geek in just car knowledge! lol

 

i would be careful..that thing looks like a death trap
