is this a decent price

[forksquared]

i know a company that does rb swaps and imports motors and all that and i asked for an rb25 swap and they said 3800 for everything where i can just drop it in. they make there own mounts and stuff it comes with

MotorTransECUwiring harness wiring serviceMAFS1 piece driveshaftLLK mounting kitLLK billet throttle bracketAnd all other needed parts to install your motor.

does 3800 i got and pick it up seem like a decent price?

my goal is like 450-500 torque responsive hp. i think and rb25 would be the best way to go

but you forget basics like water pump oil pump belts timing belt +tensioner all the extra little things. realistically your looking to put in another 600 on top at least. Then you'll want a better turbo, and injectors, and tuning etc etc etc. Just to let you know, the stuffs not cheap. it doesnt seem like it but even the rb20s are expensive.

oh i know about all that stuff im just saying for the initial setup aand all that is it a decent price for an rb25 with everything needed to put it in and run it stock. im oging to tear the thiung down when i get it and replae all those things but im saying initially

I'd say that's a pretty good price. I'd do it if their work is good and the driveshaft isn't a weenie.

haha i want to so bad and was looking forward to doing it till the dreeded tuition bil came in the mail and now i need to buy books so i probably wont get started till after this winter now.

haha you don't want a car like this in college anyways...you need money for beer! Let's keep our priorities straight here man!

[forksquared]

im sorry sir but my car almost always comes before beer and partying. i just love her so much haha. i knew i should have done the rb swap to begin with instead of doing the sr swap young and stupid i guess

Thats why god invented PBR...so we can mod our cars and still get trashed to our hearts content!

[forksquared]

pbr, pro bull riding haha

oh no. don't start that now. this thread would turn into a 5 pager in a week.

[DJButton]

Move it to 240 gen it'll be a 50+ pager in a month! lol

I'd hold off on the RB altogether until your out of school, I learned that lesson the hard way. Being too poor to even make uneeded trips when Premium is over 3 a gallon... Just keep that in mind. If you can swing it and pay the bills though after tuition, then go for it!

well this is my last semester so i am almost done. well for my 2 year degree i might go back for my 4 year. but it is community college so its cheap i was thinking of using student loans for my car that way i dont have to pay them back till im done with school. but thinking moire about the loans the more i dont want to take them out.

[Darius]

If you can take out federally subsidized student loans, go for it because you can get them at insanely low rates. It's the closest thing to a free loan that you'll come across.

i will look into thos soon
