I am buying this motor-http://www.jazzproparts.com/SR20DET_S13 ... %20top.htm

and I have a 1990 SOHC 240sxI was wondering what FMIC and piping to go with and what the best turbo for drifitng would be? Or should I just leave the T25? Also Between the two motors I would have everything to drop it in and hook it up and it will work fine? I know that I will probly have to change the wiring harness and get new p/s lines and resivor or move the exsisting one but that is all right? Thanks

You can definitely find those answers with searching, but I'll make it easy for ya.

you'll need to cut up the engine harness and relocate some plugs, which you can find in our handy FAQ stickied at the top of the main SR page.

I would suggest getting DOHC power steering lines. You'll thank yourself. A lot.

You'll need radiator hoses and heater core lines (the heater hoses are different diameters between the two motors)

And I dare say that you should stick with the stock turbo. You don't even need an SR to drift.

Just expect a lot of weird crap to pop up doing the swap. Little odds and ends, such as hoses, and wires, add up over the course of the install.

yes i knew the harness and DOHC p/s lines and thank you for the heater lines and core info. I kno but right now the SOHC keeps have timing issues and losing power and spinning bearing and all that fun stuff...even broke the end of the camshaft while idling so i figured why not go with a diff motor
