alright kool, soo lemme ask u guys something, roughly about how much would it cost to do a full rebuild on a KA, steaming the under carriage bore'N the engine. doing the foam to the engine. new rods , new everything.

[Coupe_love]

most of that stuff you can do yourself.. id invest in a pressure washer or borrow one.... you cant hurt anything under the hood with a pressure washer.. and theyll do a chemical bath on the engine when they work it.. if youre sceptical.. just ask them if they willl. couldnt be too much more.. if i had to put a number on it.. id say save up 2 grand.. just to be safe.

i was thinking on taking apart the engine, putting it in a steam closet. bore'N the cyclinders, hot pressure watering the car.

$1100 is cheap! I got a quote for a SR20DET motor swap for $8000! But they also had to change my automatic to a manual, so I dont know how much the quote went up because of that. Either way I didn't pull the trigger on the swap. I want turbo! T.T

[scottyvEE3]

well now ima be doing an insurance job and say, my car got vandalized. =O

[grecco28]

ok, i see the video it sounds bad.... i think is conecting rod or piston pin sound.. you have to open the engine to check it ...

There you go trust me don't waste money on your ka go sr man you will regret it. I have been there and done that with ka24de.

2000 dollars for a damn ka rebuild. That sucks man like the other guy said $1100 is more like it . Theres a place in Texas where you can buy a bran new remanufactured kade for a thousand bucks shipping would probably be 250 at most, so there you go $1250 for a bran new ka! jis auto engine is the site. Just in case you decide to go ka do it the right way.

Also if your swapping the sr your self you might want to check out the sr20 swap dvd, because from what I read(not to be rude) it doesn't sound like your mechanically inclined.

haha dont worry im not, ill prolly end up buying it anyways. but a shop is most likely going to do it for me, besides i dont have the tools or equipment for that. the shop is actually ordering the engine tom from JAPAN STAR MOTOR in albany NY. its 3 hrs from where i live. so itll be faster to get here and would make it quiker for me to have my engine. i got quoted 1900 for i believe a redtop. around 45k - 50k , everything included. 600 for installation, and 200 for the tune up. so about 2700 for everything.. you think that sounds just about right or not? let me know what u guys think

[ZOMG.SR20]

im sorry but you believe there 45k - 50k BS i have a friend that imports motors he says all of them have 100k - 120k they say they have low miles because no body would buy them and also most people don't just drop in a motor and drive normal people buy the motor then rebuild them self

[scottyvEE3]

ooh i see, but how would u really know the exact mileage on a motor? and yea i just posted a thread reguarding what should be done before i actually install the motor. like prepp'n wise

[nisssan-drive]

I think there is already a forum around here about that try to search sr20 prep some like that cause your forum will just be locked if one of the "high up guys" see it.

sr20?!?!?! noooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!! :[

the front clips on the cars that are shipped out say 100k - 120k mi.

[scottyvEE3]

so i got quoted for the sr20det swap. and i also a ka24de rebuilt.. and the rebuild came out to be a WHOLE lot cheaper. got quoted $3k.. is that worth it?!

[ZOMG.SR20]
