I agree with bumnah, building your own setup is a lot more challenging than simply doing a swap. Purpose built time attack car with anti-lag, get set GO!

 

you won't do it...you won't

 

I thought that we came to the conclusion that im not going rb26??? Or thats what i thought.

building motors are too big a PITA, and just trying to decide on what internals i want what a headache!!!!

 

just give the money to me..i'll build my car

 

HAHAHA, I'll keep my money!!!

@ Everyone Else

Guys remember my SR is my Daily Driver, so building the motor is out of the question.

 

Ok guys after studing a little bit more on sourcing parts for the rb25, this is what I have found out for prices and locations.

Please note that I have included other stuff thats not neccessarily needed to do the motor swap to make it turn-key.

Yes YOU may have found better prices else where, good for you, get a cookie. These are the places that I found, and I think the prices are decent for my taste.

I included the prices for the sake of other people wanting to know about how much it will take/cost to do an RB25DET motor swap into their S13 240sx.

THIS IS ONLY A GUIDE ON PRICES, YOU MAY FIND HIGHER PRICES OR LOWER PRICES, USE THIS FOR A GUIDE ON WHAT IT COULD COST!

The prices I found were also listed as SALE PRICES, so they may be higher tommorrow, thats why I gave the direct links to the products!

Remember that if you can't or do not know how to build a head, take it to the shop, well that is if you go ahead and build the head while the motor is out of the car.

I did not include the turbo due to the various turbo setups out on the market, I will leave that up to YOU!!!

Hope you enjoy this list guide.

good informational post for searchers.

i still fail to understand why you're doing what you're doing, but you can't figure out all of life's mysteries.

 

Jesus H. Christ man, how long did it take you to put that all together?

 

@bumnah
Thank you. I'm actually making a track car out of it. I may drive it on the roads sometimes, but that will be rare.

@ ryguy

i started sourcing parts at work on my cell phone, and wrote some prices down. But cause its a cell phone its a little hard to get what you need. So when i got home, I went to google and found the parts that wat.
