If you buy from that location you're getting ripped off. $2700 for a Redtop SR?!?! I got my blacktop SHIPPED for $2266 and it was in awesome condition.

From the description they give I'd say that they do not include the intercooler.

I bought mine from JHOT. They not only included the intercooler and piping, but also the stock SR downpipe, 180sx fuel pump, and intake piping with HKS filter. Pretty much everything needed to make the swap work.

Do some research and read some reviews of importers before jumping the gun. We pay a lot of money for junkyard engines, so they better be in decent shape.

Prices on SR's have been going up lately. I'd check out other places like JHOT as mentioned before or anyone local(if there's anyone). Usually, these aren't included, but for $2700, I'd expect a smic, radiator, and fan shroud. Then also to include the basic things that usually do come with a motorset like, the turbo, ignitor chip, ecu, coilpacks, and fully uncut wiring harness. How times have changed. BAck in 2001, I paid $2500 for a complete S13 front clip.

If the website isn't descriptive enough, call them and ask what comes with the motor.

I got my blacktop for $1900 shipped a few years ago from JMI but I had to find a maf, ignitor and smic, then when i got the smic it was missing a few bits and the maf I found was damaged... I guess I was too excited to think about the details when I ordered the motor and those details turned on me and became a headache.

Check jdm-online.com. They're an active advertiser on Zilvia and they seem to be concerned with running a good business and supplying good parts. Their motor prices are very fair and everything but SMIC is included, though they have them for sale as well.

I got my motorset through Jeff at heavythrottle.com but it's gone now .I paid like 2250~ shipped. Shipping was like 250~. I had to get the intercooler separately, so I just bought a FMIC. I had called Jeff on it and he said that most sr's that get sent over have the SMIC really banged up and beat up and I was better off just getting a FMIC.

SMIC = side mount intercoolerFMIC = front mount intercooler
