Places to buy an SR20DET

[EG240SX]

Besides the classifieds on this site, what other websites can I trust to buy an SR20DET with transmission, ECU, and any other things I may need (i.e. wire harness, motor mounts, transmission mounts, drive shaft, etc.). I know picking it up in person would be good but I've searched online and haven't found a place in my area that I know of.

[heartofaskyline]

everything you need is hidden behind the ^^blinking search button^^

[EG240SX]

Not to sound nasty but I saidBESIDES this site, meaning if you bought it from somewhere else online WHERE did you buy it.

hi, i asked who was the "best" or most reputable a while back to get a motorset from.lets say, some nico members like playing with matches.listen up, save time and hastle.go herehttp://www.enjukuracing.comhttp://www.sr20store.comyou will find what you want and all things related, moreso...they both are friendly and return emails/have good cust. service.

[heartofaskyline]

not to sound nasty either, but the search button works for more than just the classifieds. this topic has been covered so many times.

[EG240SX]

Then I'm sorry man

[heartofaskyline]

well now that i have this thread anyway do you think it would be cheaper to rebuild the SR20 the entire thing than buying it already together, i want to learn how to rebuild it anyway

[heartofaskyline]

do you already have an sr? whats wrong with it?

[EG240SX]

No i don't have an SR but i did a little research about it and i want to get one i just have a stock KA24E and i want to swap it for the SR but i was thinking i'd like to learn even more about the SR and what a better way than to actually rebuild it im currently learning how to rebuild engines but im rebuilding a VTEC i was assigned it in school didnt have a choice and i just want to see how can i save a little bit of money for any thing that may come up

[heartofaskyline]

just buy a full swap from a reputable site, and drive it till it breaks, and then rebuild it.

[EG240SX]

ok sounds good lol doubt it'll ever break but ok it's just i've seen them for 5k and thats money i don't have and really cant get with a job that just pays 7.50 an hour and selling crack is out of the question

the motor will give out, most sr's do after a while. you should be able to find a swap for 2500 or less shipped. and about another 2k for intercooler, harness, rad, fuel pump, gauges, mounts, and other random crap.

[rob912]

2k seems a little much for misc. stuff it can be done for 1k if certain parts are used

[EG240SX]

i was just worried i would end up getting the SR like 2 years from now i want to get it as soon as possible but you know things don't happen on your time

[heartofaskyline]

2k seems a little much for misc. stuff it can be done for 1k if certain parts are used

budget for 2k and then if you have money left over thats great, but being stuck in the middle of a project with no money to finish is a b****

[EG240SX]

yea im planning on doing suspension as soon as i save $500 you think that'll be enough?

[rob912]

depends what are your plans for suspension?

[EG240SX]

well im not to sure what i should be going for i would like coilovers but $500 definitely does not cover it

[rob912]

500 would cover a decent shock and strut combo and thats about it. In my opinion the suspension is the most important part of the car and should paid most attention to. Save like 1k for coils then get some ruca's and then if you have the money you can get sub frame bushings and etc...

[EG240SX]

o ok thanks yea i was planning on suspension before the SR swap though but wasnt too sure of how much should i get into it like what is the things i should change the minimum or almost the whole thing

[pj]

goodlord, whats with all this 5k talk?dude, did you even look at the sites i posted?sr20store can get you a sr motorset for like 2700 bucks.enjuku has a package for about 4100, motorset + a crap load of fun stuff to put on it, even a updated clutch.and if you want suspension, expect to pay 1000 for coils and nearly 260-280 for ruca, i recomend battleversion.you want more information on the sr20, theres gobs of it here as well as online, google it.if you need visual aide, then go to http://www.drifting.com and buy theyre dvd's theres one for an sr install as well as another that is a rebuild how to.with all of that, there is no way to go wrong.

[EG240SX]

im a newb so sorry ruca?

[pj]

also, there are different versions of sr20det motors( possibly why youve seen them going for so high a price, s15 motors can be very pricey). stick with a redtop. its cheapest, readily availible.

[pj]

im a newb so sorry ruca?

rear upper control arms, rear upper camber adjuster, whatever youd like to call it.

[EG240SX]

OOOOOOOOOOOH ok i was like i know suspension and never heard of ruca sorry im not too good with acronyms

[Razi]

im a newb so sorry ruca?

RUCA = Rear upper control arm.

Edit: haha already beat me to it.

[EG240SX]

well hopefully i can do suspension this year then i don't mind leaving the SR till next year knowing my suspension is good and ready but i still have to get the hatch painted its primed right now last owner took off the foam wing and didn't finish the job but my parents are going to pay for that but they also want to get me rims but i keep telling them instead of getting me rims i'll keep my piece of s*** stock rims and give me the money so i can save up for parts but they just say no
