I am starting my 2nd 240 project... I live in Western Pa and am looking for a one stop shop to get my swap done. I am looking for 300whp with good reliability, its not my everyday car, but I like to abuse my toys. The shops that I have talked to so far say S15 SR20DET would be right for me... Any ideas for where and what???

of course they want to sell you an s15 sr, it's more expensive. you could get 300hp pretty reliably from just about any swap and the ka. do some research on what you want/need from the motor, then decide which one you want to have installed. going to a shop throwing out nothing more than hp numbers will most likely result in you getting hosed for your money.

I appreciate the input... I have been reading the forums for about a month now trying to decide what swap to get. So far it seems that the power I am looking for can be made by any motor with mods... I also like having something a little different than other ppl. I am sitting in Tikrit Iraq right now and plan on getting this done when I head home for leave. So any info on shops in or near western Pa would be much help... Thanks again for the info

i've never dealt with them personally, but a lot of the regular pa members vouch for elite-jdm. only thing is that their shop is in philly.
