[Disturbe240]

what do you think would be a sweet set up to start with my fisrt sr i have about 8000$$ to spend on it. and want to make pig power

thx

[da40]

hmmm????power fc,g2871r or gt30(garrett of course)bigger injs,apexi headgasket ,hks cams,some sort of lsd,koyo rad,fmic,upgraded bov ,nisom fpr,and a good tune and ur set

[otterman]

Is that $8000 to spend after you buy the motor or before?

[Disturbe240]

no thats with the motor its for the basic set up. i will do an other round of mod lather on to finis the set up

[Fenvy]

if I have 8000, I would buy someone elses' swapped RB s13/s14

don't fall into the SR trap. I got everything that da40 listed except nismo fpr and tuning

if I have 8000, I would buy someone elses' swapped RB s13/s14

That is very good advice.

unless you have a blown engine in your 240 and need to replace it with something else.

[Disturbe240]

so you guys are telling i should do a rb lets say (rb25det)swap if i have that money. if so how much fab work is invold in a rb swapin an s13 1990. what part do i need

thx

$8000 I would just by a bad *** one that is allready in a car and sell mine Just my opinion

[Disturbe240]

the thing is that i dont relly want to sell my car it is probably une of the cleanest 240sx you will see.it has only 32000 km an not one pit of rust never saw rain or snow just like new. and beside i have redone the hole suspension for drift. money is not the problem i just want do do the rignt thing

[Fenvy]

you will probably spend 6k just to get a stock rb inside

I think I read something about you not wanting to sell you car but look, some already swapped/lightly modded rb 240sx cost like 5000, 6000

you still have your current car! you are out ahead if you buy someone elses's toy.

I probably spend like 10000 on my car since I got it but I doubt I can get anywhere near that much.

don't make the same stupid mistake, buy someone elses' toy

coming from a sr owner, get rb. it has much more potential, had I gotten rb, I would be in 400 rwhp already. don't say/think that 300hp is enough for you, becuase... it is not, ha!

[nissan_blood]

Yeah I would just buy someone elses RB. And put a CA in mine for a daily and own 2 nice cars for the same price you would spend on just an RB. Go to the CA forum and talk to Boost Boy he gets CA really cheap and nice ones to. Just tryin to help out.

In the end you are gonna do what you want to do, but I am with the other guys. I personnally have spent over $10000 on my project and if i sell it I too won't get back everything that i put in it. Also keep in mind that if this is your only car when it has to be worked on then you might be without a ride for some time. MY opinion, that $8000, take it and buy someone's car with a SR or RB swap that is in good condition and keep you car as a good reliable fun daily driver. I have seen many people drift with their stock KA.
