My dream is to swap an SR20 into an S13 and tune that sucker up. With my little experience in motor swapping, if i were selected to review your DVD, i could provide a review from a beginner's point of view. I think it would be better having a person with little to no motor swapping experience to review the DVD because it will show how much information the DVD provides and the understandability of the DVD. If I do get selected ill try to give as much feedback as i can, and I'll try to elaborate on how much i learned, and how easy the information is handed out in the DVD.
we will send you one..

man we need to get more copies!!

hey i bought the sr swap dvd and their was only one thing i didnt like. I felt that it was just slapped together and it jumped around a lot. I know it was the early version and yes i did get a lot of great information from it. the only thing i would recommend is better editing. but to everyone these DVDs have alot of usefull information for people who might not have any knowelege on these swaps.

strongly agree,the wiring section JUMPED around, the scenes play in the same order that they were filmed,

this need to be fixed, however the chapter points make it easy to skip to the gap in this section

thanks for validating the level of detail

have a good one!!

I think if you were to put like a title screen before each section that lists what is going to be shown in the following scenes. would make everything more clear to someone who might not have any idea what plug is what etc.and possibly ending each section with a check list of what was done in that section so people can check it see if they got everything done. That would in my opinion make the DVD amazing. and if their are any of the 5 speed swap or sr build dvds that need reviews i wouldnt mind if it was free.

the RB25DET Swap DVD (DVD #1) has title screensthe most confusing part in this DVD was the first wiring section so we created graphics to help viewers follow the color pattern

thanks again for the feedback!

I have a few buddies with SR swapped 240sx's and I plan on swapping my 240 with a SR20. I used to write for a teen paper called "your mom," which was a division of the Quad City Times. A long time ago I also did a guide on game controls for GZA.

I would love to review your SR20DET swap DVD and tell everyone what I think.

I would love to review your SR20DET swap DVD and tell everyone what I think.I am good at getting to the point in a article and still being precise. I have not done a motor swap in a car but I am very fascinated with cars and learn as much as possible. I think I could give you a review and also state on how to make future videos better.

I have a few other tech videos so I do have something to reference the swap video to.

So, how did this ever turn out? How did the review process go? How many DVDs did you end up sending out?

I would love to have the rb25det engine rebuild dvd. I talked to you awhile back and you said you would send me one but I never got it. I am planning to rebuild my rb25 like now, and I am going to buy the rb25 dvd's regardless but if I can get one free I'd appreciate it.
