$4000 for a SR20 too much?

[S14toRPS13]

So did you get it? No matter what the cost, it's worth it, as long as you want it.

Yeah, like I said I was able to drive the sellers car with the motor still in it. It runs great and the motor looks real good. No leaks, no weird noise, and it pulls really strong. I know I'll end up paying a lot more if I were to start from scratch. I've already put a little bit down for deposit. Plus this guy is one of the head mechanics at the top Nissan shop here so I'm sure he knows how to put a motor together right.

honestly its not that bad of a deal. but try shopping around a little bit. i got a redtop, greddy intake mani, rocker arm stoppers, pullys, oilpan, new oem waterpump, oil pump, belts, spec stage 3 clutch and flywheel, nismo thermostat, pivot, and slave cylinder, apr headstuds, metal gaskets, c's short throw shifter, 1pc aluminum driveshaft, skyline rear end and axles, and a koyo for 3k from a fellow niconaut. theres probably some other **** i just dont remember everything

Sounds good keep us posted.....

A local guy that's worked for a few of the local shops...he wants an S14 SR for his S14, so I reap the benefits. Granted it's not a professional install, but he knows what he's doing and I've driven it and it's good to go...pulls hard.

That's cool. I've found that many "professional" installs are anything but, so DIY, having a friend help, or finding someone who knows what they are doing (and doesn't want a ton of $) is the best way to go.

I'd be leary of that deal then if that's all the guy wants. Might be he has a bad turbo or he might not know how much they sell for.

Here in san antonio, TX that is around right cause there is not that many people who sell that or can get there hands on one but in cali that is to high, it all depands on were you are from.

[S14toRPS13]

I ended up buying the motor. It's already in my car wired up and everything. Only thing I'm waiting on now is for my transmission fluid because I couldn't find any GL-4 locally. Whenever I have time I'll put the intercooler and the rest of the piping on.

Congrats!! I bet your excited to get it on the street!!

If you need a reasonably inexpensive motorset talk to the people at JHOT Denton, TX location. Good service and cheap shipping. There are also other shops in Texas that could probably obtain an SR for fairly cheap.

have you ever driven in a turbo car?

LOL, yes I've driven turbo cars. This is my second SR. Both my nephews have SR's. One of them pushing 16 psi. I've also driven a '94 TT Supra. Do big detroit deisel and caterpillar engines count? hahaha jk. I know what you mean though. My first time driving a turbo car scared me a good bit , but ofcourse I wouldn't have admit it. Even the first time driving my SR back then scared me a bit too. Oh yeah, this is my daily, but I also have my wife's '02 SE-R for back up.

Did you feel the shrapnel from the turbo fly through the firewall and all four pistons shoot through the hood at the same time too?
