yeah f*ck that ****.. you can find a good sr20 with everything for 2,000 dollars

lrb_2000

what the hell... are you guys retarded? lol j/k...

They want $2500 plus about $250 shipping for a Redtop sr20det with everything. Jesus.

lrb_2000

^^
That is for the Engine, Tranny, ECU, Harness, pluss all that other stuff.

Or just spend the $2500 they want for the s13 Redtop with stock innercooler and stuff and still get about 205hp. around 180-190 to the wheels.

JoxteR

yeah but that doesnt say that it comes with everything needed to swap it in.

SHIFT_Sideways

i would check this place out... http://dragdriftautox.com/index.php/cPath/21_50

i'll probably get my ca or rb from them.. I herd they are really good and look they got an sr20det full front clip there for $2,300 dollars.... f*ck that $4,737 dollar sh*t with not even a clip. lol

plus.. they have a complete sr20det motorset for 2,000 dollars.

lrb_2000

what doesn't say that? They guarentee that you will get everything you need for the swap for $2500.

At heavythrottle.com it says this:

"S13 Red Top SR20DET complete $2500 plus shipping. Includes all electronics and ignition parts, uncut harness, transmission, warranty and tech support. "

You get a warranty, and tech support if you have ANY problems.

JoxteR

so that right there will pretty much just bolt into my car and drive away with no extra parts? and would it come with an intercooler, and what kind of turbo usually comes with those?

lrb_2000

they come with the stock t25 turbo, good to about 15psi of boost. which should put out about 230hp safely. and yes, it will drop in and you can drive away happy. Read through the site.

They have a phone number and a shop. Give them a call on monday and ask them questions.

SHIFT_Sideways

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

SHIFT_Sideways

lrb_2000,,, what about http://dragdriftautox.com/index.php/cPath/21_50

he can get a full sr20 front clip for 2,300 or just a complete engine set for 2,000

lrb_2000

Yeah, that's what is says.. but I haven't heard anything about that place. The only reason I suggested heavythrottle.com is because of all the good responses and happy customers.. plus they have tech support.

Plus for only $300 more, I would rather trust a place with a great reputation on these and other 240 forums.

front clips are hella expensive to ship, especially if the body panels are still attachec... but sometimes you get brakes, driveshaft, differintial..ect.

you can find ka's anywhere why not just find a lower mileage ka, and drop it in. everyone go's sr these days, do what u feel if your up for doing something a lot of people dont then stick with the ka. i got my motor with 78k on it for 300 and it runs awesome and im almost done with my turbo setup. or you can spend a couple grand on the sr, which would be cool too its all up to you, but you dont have to rebuild the ka the stock block is prutty strong. good luck with whatever you decide

JoxteR

yeah i didnt even think about buying a new ka, but then how much would a decent turbo set-up cost me? because i do want to go turbo with whatever i decide to do.

bbs_e30_m3

What's wrong w/ KA?

The motor actually seems to be a good match for the car. Stock numbers are a bit on the weak side, but with a nice NA build, it should complement the car very nicely.

2.4L NA built would be sweet on the chassis.

People who talk about high peak HP is either a drag racer & show car queen (dyno queen).

JoxteR

i accually dont care wich engine i end up with i just want something that will give me the best power for the lowest cost. and i would like to have a turbo so if i stick with the ka ill end up putting a turbo on it. can anyone point me in teh right direction to find some KA's for sale located somewhat close to NW Oregon? or do i just have to find someone that is selling theirs?
