questions about engine swaps

[hicklinc]

i have a 1995 240sx auto and i want to do an engine swap and change to a manual. i am thinking about puting a rb26dett in it what do you think and if i do go that route where should i buy it from the cheapest i've been able to find was 3000. i want to know high rated sellers of this and other engines. and what will i need to do the swap, i think i just need engine trans ecu uncut harness driveshaft and motormounts. and if you know any cheap place to do the install in fl.

sup, i would try searching first. not good to make your first post one that asks questions that have been answered time and time again. just use the search button and see what you can come up with.

XAT RACING can do everything you want for about $8600-$15000 other have done it but i hear great story's and have seen good cars roll out. Now honestly your gonna spend a crap load of money.

3500-5000 for engine setmckinney motor mounts 1500someone to install 500-1500intercooler and piping 500-1500exhaust 500then you have to do some simple engine replacement parts.

water pump spark plugsmaybe new radiatorupgraded fans new thermostatmaybe a new gasket kitclean your injectors

And be agressive about your engines history. Actually ask some of the guys here with thier rb26dett installs they're all over the place.

For $3,000 I would imagine you are going to be missing quite a few parts and it will probably come with the RB26 transmission. The RB25 transmission you will need for the swap can be hard to come buy so be careful.

What would Jon Powel do? LMAO I think we need to get bumper stickers made.

You're going to need to source out a rb25 transmission

not a bad price, I got my rb25det clip with 4,500 miles for only $1,800

Oh man, here we go again....

There is no such thing as CHEAP when it comes to this swap. Especially when you have a shop doing such a rare, extensive engine changeover as an RB26.

I'll redirect you to a thread I made a while back on 240sxforums.com

Start adding up all the things you need to buy to make this swap go right,and you will get depressed.You have to realy want this swap or just go for the SR20DET instead.Engine, ecu, whireharness and rb25 tranney $4200Mckinney mounts and drive shaft $1150down pipes $500Whire harness $350frunt mount Intercooler kit $800And on and on........I want to build a 240 with about 750HP. So, I am willing to go for it.
