I think Heavy Throttle has some swap packages so it comes out cheaper. Go check that out.

Also you may want to consider getting the XS Engineering downpipe for about $150. You dont have to buy a test pipe or a new cat because it replaces them.

Buy only what is required to get the motor running correctly, then move on to upgrades.

You are also going to need a smaller batter since you are using a Front Mount Intercooler $85, You may want to replace your spark plugs with NGK spark plugs $35 , Apex-i intake or equvilent $130 (unless you are using the stock air box), You may want to replace the fuel filter with a Z32 Fuel filter $15, You will also need an oil filter $20, A Turbo Timer is optional but I bought one $85+, You may want to buy Nismo Engine and transmission mounts $195 and possibly a boost gauge and a oil presure or EGT gauge $200+ depedning on what company you buy I have all Greddy gauges. These parts are all available at http://www.HeavyThrottle.com, http://www.Phase2Motortrend.com, http://www.240SXMotoring.com, and http://www.EnjukuRacing.com

If you buy all that stuff you may go over your limit. It always costs more than you think.

The heavy throttle package is the most complete package i have seen. It is a great deal if you are gonna do the swap yourself. It comes with everything you may need and even some things may not but it's nice to have. I would say go for it, and they have a great reputation as well.

the cost of a swap is more than most people think. Well that is if you replace a few key parts. i would also suggest a clutch, water pump, thermostat and also dont forget money for fluids, fly wheel resurfacing (if needed), filters and all the other things you will need . the motor mounts and battery suggested earlier you can do on the cheap. the motor mounts you can buy windsheild urethane and fill them. the urethane can be had at any place that you would get auto glass at and it is like 10 bucks. I have personally done this and it works great 1 tube will do both motor mounts and the transmission mount. As for the battery you can get one from walmart for 29 bucks. you do have to do a little trimming on the battery itself (the plastic ears on the bottom of battery) but it fits very snugly or you can rig up a garden tractor battery. The swap price seems cheap i would be suspicous as most places are about 2500 dollars without shipping. make sure you have a low mileage motor, full harness, transmission, CAS, ECU, ignitor, radiator, and all the other goodies. I would for go the hood for the time being unless your made of money then spend away. my swap all said and done was about 4500 dollars. but keep in mind I replaced alot of stuff and have not regreted it one bit. with the 5000 you have I would do this below. I have also listed what I have or would have gotten

Also I would set a few hundred aside for crap that needs fixed or breaks. For example a totally smashed oil pan comes to mind. Also visit ebay they are good deal there all the time. I also would buy as much stuff from one company as possiable as usually they will give you a slight discount for a large purchase.

thats a pretty good package. I would also see if they would set you up with a radiator, thermostat and water pump too for a good price as it does not list those. Cooling is a big issue on SR's expecially if you run higher boost.

Yes, definately check on the cooling items. If they can't get it for you check with marco vargas at sr20store.com for the water pump. he has all kinds of parts laying around and he ships super quick with reasonable prices. You could also check with phase2motortrend.com.

It says on thier website that they offer price matching and they include a new water pump with their motorsets. i had them do my swap and wayne and howard are the best when it comes to customer service.
