20Gs ????, wow the question is what CAN'T u do???SR20DETw/sixspeed (from s15, upgrade turbo only if u really want to) TEIN coilover (anyone will do, just make sure u have camber plates) upgrade to z32 TT caliber + drilled slotted rotors + EBC green stuff pad (keep it nissan no need for after market here) full bars and rods set up(tie rods, traction rods, strut bars...etc), corbeau seats (be different dont get bride) 100 shot of NOS is a must (never know when u'll need it) upgrade speakers to 3 ways (dont get subs takes up too much space) any CD/mp3 player will do (DVD if u tape urself drifting and want to show it off) s15 steering wheel look really nice too, and for the wheels super advan SAE3R (there is no other) keep the outside looking stock because the MC looks really nice already if u lower it hood if u need the extra cooling, but that's what i would do if i have 20G to burnPS right hand drive conversion is legal as long as ur car have a valid tag

[speedlimitz]

would it be a better investment to go with the s13 model and swap in a s14sr20det motor or gettin a s14 and swap in the sr20det? i wanna do the s15 front end conversion too and possibly hit those 12's. thanks

[drifter_for_life06]

S14 will cost more stock. but i donno depends on your funding and how much you want to spend it each area of the car

[quiksilvia]

dont get the s15 6 spped, probs with them

[drifter_for_life06]

like?

Well one good thing about the s13 motor is the high port intake, you can easily get 11 sec times form the redtop just from the extra power that intake mani/head design will give you in the long run. Al the other SR motors have variable valves and will make less power than a redtop s13 (given the same mods) because they have a low-port head design and a few other things.

S15 motor might have valve issues and be more maitenance work because of the valve technology in it. S13 motor has straight cams and is easier to work on. thats pretty much it.

[drifter_for_life06]

does that go for the S13 black top?

hey u live in illinois, i live in missouri, u should check out midwest240sx.com, sum ppls around this area on it. how close to st.louis do u live? i been lookin for someone to work on my 240 with and his/hers if they had one...

you should get a s13 convertable. very nice they are....

[speedlimitz]

i live probably 4hours from st. louis. im like 40min sw of chicago.. so if i got a s13 with redtop sr20det motor . what kinda times coulda i possibly hit with like 10,000 into the motor. im probably gonna invest like 1-2g's into the looks of the car. **** thanks for the help.

[slc240sxse]

For 20 Grand, plus the cost of your car, you should sink it into the A4 that you say you have. Especially if it's a 1.8T, with the AWD, you can boost the S*it outta those. Why piss around with a 240?

i got a 00 a4 2.8 so im not even gonna bother with that. the parts are hard to find and the 240 is more my style. im not really goin for the luxury right now.
