But I need a car :help if you guys could tell me how much you spent that would be great. Most likey "doner car" woudl be an 89-91 240sx fastback or coupe.

Look at the parts listed for the swap, thats why our prices are different. I'm assuming your car doesn't have an exhaust, they are assuming it does. My final pricing will probably be sub 4000 as well.

Post by **Daunttless** » Sat Aug 10, 2002 12:53 pm

If you just wanted a SR20 and/or install, my prices are cheaper for both.

Post by **Tai Mai Shu** » Sat Aug 10, 2002 12:53 pm

Oh ok, im going to do my own install

Post by **Daunttless** » Sat Aug 10, 2002 12:53 pm

Well, my price is the cheapest on the engines, and mine are just as quality or more quality as theirs. : )

With a totally stock sr20det into a 240sx shouldn't be that much. Mine was in the $3000 range...maybe a couple hundred more. And mine is totally stock.

Post by **Tai Mai Shu** » Sat Aug 10, 2002 12:53 pm

is that with car?

Post by **S13240** » Sat Aug 10, 2002 12:53 pm

Nope...that was the whole complete swap. My car was just another $1200...so you can say it was about in the $4500 range.

that is unreal!here in canada, its $5000 flat for the SR20DET.... that includes everything you need, minus the exhaust. $4000 american is roughly $6000 canadian.....

does your engines come as front clips? or are they just the engines? i will be looking to pick up a sr20det front clip in about jan.

Post by **Daunttless** » Sat Aug 10, 2002 12:53 pm

My engines are as complete or more complete than front clips, minus the frame. The only thing a front clip has that a quality engine setup doesn't is a worthless frame adding to the cost. : )

i was wondering because of the smic location and all that...and where and how the pipes run...would i be able to tell getting an engine from you or do you disassemble the engine...i mena like take off the smic and just ship it in the same box?...where are you located?

Post by **implict** » Sat Aug 10, 2002 12:53 pm

Daunt im gonna buy a red top s13 from u..... just give me like 1 1/2 of month and ill have enough to get it shiped to speedcraft and they install it for me... so ill post u again when i have the full amount ... thanx!:wiggle

Post by **Daunttless** » Sat Aug 10, 2002 12:53 pm

If I knew how to use smiley's, I'd put upt he WERD smiley. : )

Werd.

As far as SMIC location, I haven't decided if I"ll ship it attached or detached, depends on if I feel it will be alright in the shipping, which I think it will be. You'll have to notch your fender to make it work, but other than that, it fits, a lot of people relocate their battery for space.

Hey Dauntless you seem to know alot about the sr. My questions is where would u find normal replacement parts like starter, alternator, and other parts like that and how much would they cost? Thanks!!:help

Post by **Daunttless** » Sat Aug 10, 2002 12:53 pm

A starter from a USDM SR20DE should work.

An alternator from anything should work.

Belts, hoses, and fluids you'd just have to match sizes. Any other common parts you'd like to know about?

I didn't think the starter worked, I'm 90% sure the alternator dosn't cross over. Also the headgasket is different, but most of the other wear items such as plugs, belts, and oil filters are rather generic.

My buddy owns a shop, so he gave himself 'cost' on everything and it cost him a little over $5,000 to do a Redtop SR swap with a decient FMIC, clutch, flywheel, and downpipe. That's direct swap cost's, no labor for the install (since we helped him for free).

Hey Daunt,

If we don't need a complete motor (I want to use a Haltech), will you still charge $2200?

Post by **cnichols** » Sat Aug 10, 2002 12:53 pm

And, also, which model Haltech did you quote me the other day?

E6K, E6H, E6M...???

And, what do you think about the AEM or Apex'i system?

The Power FC doesn't look like it has as many options, but I don't know anything about the AEM.

Post by **Daunttless** » Sat Aug 10, 2002 12:53 pm

I don't know ANYTHING about the AEM. : )

I would suggest the Haltech over the Power FC, especially with the cash you'll spend.

I quoted you for a E6K.

And yeah, unfortunately the price is still 2200, but you are welcome to sell the ECU and harness yourself on eBay or something after you get it. : ) However I won't be selling incomplete engines.

That's what I figured. Sounds good.:thumbup

Hey Daunttless, where do you live? i live in MD and will be getting a 240 soon. Your price is very good and I'm considering a swap. BTW I'm a noob on this forum.:help

Post by **Daunttless** » Sat Aug 10, 2002 12:53 pm

Welcome to the forum, I live in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. : )

I'm about 12 hours west of you. : )

Post by **MAXIMUS Nismo** » Sat Aug 10, 2002 12:53 pm

12 hours, oh good lord ! how long does the swap take to accomplish with the actual work and testing?

Post by **Daunttless** » Sat Aug 10, 2002 12:53 pm

BTW, Counter-strike rules, and campin t's 0wnz j00. : )

Post by **Daunttless** » Sat Aug 10, 2002 12:53 pm

It can be done in a day if its just a straight swap, we have no unforseen problems, and we plan for you to come. Expect at least 2 days. If you want a lot of additional work just plan on a weekend.

Post by **MAXIMUS Nismo** » Sat Aug 10, 2002 12:53 pm

Sounds good, sounds good. Let me get the car first, then get back 2 u. And if you ever see a guy name MAXIMUS BastarD, runt he other way cause he's gonna introduce you to his M3. Do you now of anyone selling a S14?

Post by **Daunttless** » Sat Aug 10, 2002 12:53 pm

I know of one in Texas, but its probably a bit far from ya. : ) I also know of some here in Iowa, but they're probably a bit far as well, it also depends on how much cash you want to spend for it, its easier to find one if you have a higher budget. : )
