Okay make a 240 AWD is the dumbest thing ive heard in a while.
RB26 and S15 swap are not hard just costly and time consuming.
S15 6 Speed is easy. If you a wiring genius then that should be no problem, but if you have trouble finding the distrubutor in yoru own car then let someone else handle it.
I know a few tricks to make the S15 swap cake but you have to figure those out yourself as i did.
RB is alttile more complicated and the new engine mount relocation kit will run you about 1600.00 alone for a good one.
To make it AWD mean you have to swap all the suspension components over to the front axles have a place to run through to the bearning.
I know a shop that did a AWD RB S14. Dunno if it runs or drives. But its a huge waste of time, if you ask me.
RB throws off the car balance pretty bad. Your coilover rates would have to be like 16kg front and 10kg rear.
Good luck with that. Your gonna need it.

No, I'm joking. Get the engine, and have a shop do it for you. BAM. Swap done.

I think LandHo agreed with me when I asked how people find the time to do this crap and where the money is coming from...

Im young but i dont ask questions without researching and i espeacially dont ask questions without knowing when im going to do it.
like LandHo and the others said, a shop can do this for you but its gonna cost big $$.
Im not tryin to give you a hard time, im just letting you kno that posting for stuff like this is a waste of time, unless your ready for the swap or w/e...

Ok, I'm obviously new to this site, but you guys seem to know your stuff. I am trying to get opinions from ppl who have had personal experiences with the sr swaps and the rb swaps. I've been researching these swaps for my 91 240, but I want the different points of view. Any opinions about the ka motors would be greatly appreciated too!
