Bay area: anyone know how to do a sr swap?

[solid]

Hey, does anyone in the bay area know how to do a sr swap?

[180fan]

there are many who know how to do the sr swap in the bay area. be more specific, location requirements? budget considerations?

[solid]

Well im located in san jose, the engine is located in san francisco, im willing to drive an hour, and i was hoping for the swap to be 1 g or less.

[180fan]

I'll ask around to see who's a good shop, none in SF I believe unless you're going to do it through friends. What I'm doing is brought the clip into my buddy's house garage and working on it in there and installing it in there also. There are shops in Daly City but I forgot the name of the shop. It does have "JDM" though and shouldn't be too hard to find although it'd be pretty easy for me to ask around for the shop name. 1g I'm not too sure if that's going to be all that enough, as there are almost always some problem that occurs and requires extra money which I call the "oh $hit money."

Ohh i c, thanks for the help man i reallly appreciate it.

Just start going to meets on zilvia.net and get to know people. I'm pretty sure you'll find one that'll do the swap for cheap or perhaps free if you're lucky. If you're looking for a shop to do it, there's this place called rcrewracing (rcrewracing.com) in Frisco. They won't do the swap for 1g though. In Daly City, I've only heard of ASP that has anything to do with the SR, and they pretty much rip everyone off.

Well I dont live in the Bay area but I do know a web site where you buy a SR How To DVD that will show you step by step how to swap your motor.Dude it is so easy you and couple of friends could do it over a weekend.The DVD is aprox.$20 Canadian and I will get the web add for you and post it.Dont worry if your not all that mechanically incline.the video is like an SR swap for dummies so you wont be able to do anything wrong.Good luck with the swap.

haha thanks man that would be cool, the only problem i heard of that is hard is the wiring.

[180fan]

you could always send the harness (if that's your only concern) to places like enjuku or motorex. They can do the service for you, it'll cost you 150-200 though.

[side waz]

Or (and I forget the company and web add) but you can purchase a wire harness that is already done and ready to put in.As I said though the DVD explaines the wiring too!.I will look for the company that sells the harness and post it for you.

haha thanks man that would be cool, the only problem i heard of that is hard is the wiring.
