aight i know this has been covered hundreds of times prob ... but everytime i search i cant get the answer im looking for ... i always see everything written out but its always something diff.

heres what im looking for .. im picking up my 240sx shell today around 6:00pm .. and planning on doing a sr20det swap at the end of the month .. a local shop told me about $2200-2500 for the motor then $1500-2000 for labor .. but he said around $4000-4500 for them to do everything .. but i figured i could just order everything i need and do it myself and spen the money for labor on parts ... so i was wondering if somebody could write me out a list off all the parts i would need to make sure comes with my sr20det swap when i order it ..

i've seen tons of swaps but not all come with everything .. and i've seen lots of write ups on parts but there all diff ... so i was wondering if somebody could just be nice enough to write me one out ...

im getting a 1990 so i already know im gonna need a 91-94 gauge cluster and 91-94 power steering lines and resovior ... but what exactly does my swap need to come with ..

thanks to anyone who can help .. and sorry i know this has been covered 1244534 times but they couldnt really help me ..

just getting a whole front clip for $2000-2800 will cover you. this way you could get used to the motor before you decide to modify it. EVERYTHING IS ON A FRONT CLIP. motor sets are for those of you who feel like piecing the swap together.

and the swap is a 2-5 hour job. really straightforward

I know on heavythrottle.com I can get this whole package

Clutch kit - spec stage2 kit sprung .. 380tqSpark plugs - NGK V-power heat range 6Downpipe - MEGAN racing stainless steele with flex sectionFront Mount - Greddy type M fmic kit with pipingBlow Off Valve - Greddy type RS bovElectric Fan - Permacool single 14� 2750 cfmIntake Filter Kit - generic cone filter kitGauge Package - Autometer Phantom Boost and Oil Pressure

All that for $1,950 standard package no upgrade

In addition to items selected above, the following are also included in the package:*EZ Install Kit with Heater Hose Kit, Radiator Hose Kit, Belts & AIV hole plug*Hot Pipe with BOV flange attached*Walbro 255 lph Fuel pump with install kit*Autometer Dual Gauge pillar pod*OEM Nissan Oil Filter*FRAM Z32 Fuel Filter*Adjustable Electric Fan Thermostat with surface mount sensor*MAFS Adapter for intake filter*Megan Racing Test Pipe with Gaskets and hardware*Stainless Steel line with block adapter for oil pressure gauge install

Then the optional wiring service

Wiring harness - s13 engine s13 car .. +$150Red-Top s13 SR20DET - $2550

I can get the whole package for $4737.52 shipped .. but was wondering if this would be the way to go or just let the shop do the standard stock swap .. and does it sound like it would be a good setup ..

also if I ordered this package would it be a easy drop and play swap or would I still have a lot of work in hand ..

well if you look on heavythrottle, the wiring is cake too.

your money can be well allocated to something else. don't be in too much of a rush to fix the engine if you don't know how it feels.
