I just wanted to introduce myself before I started posting. Im a vistor from the EvolutionM boards. I own a Lancer OZ (Slo-Z, lol) and have been testing the waters of the import sport compact market since I traded my Wrangler in for it. Mostly I have done suspension stuff to it, but Im well aware its pointless to dump money into it to get more power.

At any rate, during my last internship at Goodyears tech center, my roomate introduced me to the idea of the common SR20DET 240 swap. Recently, ever since becoming disgusted with my cars lack of power, Ive been entertaining the idea of buying an old 240 and slowly doing a swap.

Just a few quick questions though, and Im sure they have been asked a whole bunch. First, the dvd deal on Ebay, I saw the creator is posting here now, anyone seen it? Im not looking for it to be the complete documentary / how-to, but just for some visual ideas and for something to watch while I locate a 240. Also, does anyone that has done the swap have pictures of their project, during various phases of installation? Again, not looking for a how-to, just something to keep me occupied and at the same time learn a few tricks.

I figure the swap shouldnt be too hard, I have a decent background with working on cars (fixing my Jeep, the few mods on my Lancer, helping my friend do a B16 swap in his 91 Civic SI). I look forward to interacting with you community and hopefully soon I can begin my new project / hobby.

Oh and for anyone interesting in seeing my car (not much to see, just thought Id share):http://registry.evolutionm.net...72&s=

Tristar, welcome to NICO!

Be sure to browse the other 240sections as well. The RWD SR section might also be a benefit to you. Best of luck!!
