hi, i've been looking around on nico for awhile now but never registered. now i found a sil40 shell and Im thinking of doing a sr20 swap by myself because im 16 years old and i dont want to pay 1000 bucks to put in an sr. my questions are what new parts would i need for the sr before putting in? or would the sr20s be good enough to just put in and drive? i want to know cuz it would be way easier to replace things when the engine is not in. and what would i need other than the engine and transmission ect that comes with the swap? like a/c, power stearing ect. i dont have any experience doing anything like is it really a good idea to try myself or just let the shops do it? i want to save as much money as possible for other things. also how do u know how good the conditions of the sr20s are and how much kms it has? and if i do it myself how would i know if i done everything right and would be safe? sorry if its' been covered before but i've searched and never really found what im looking for.
