Totaljdm.com has sr20's for $1,549 with:

5-Speed Manual Hydraulic Transmission Engine Control Unit (ECU) Wiring Harness Distributor Intake Manifold Exhaust Manifold Alternator Igniter Chip (Extra) Maf Sensor (Extra) Turbo Available Options (if in-stock): Uncut Wiring Harness: $200.00USD MAF: $100.00USD Igniter Chip: $100.00USD

But if I'd still have to get an intercooler. Im kinda hesitant about purchasing because of the price being low.

Then theres http://www.xatracing.com with a sr20 front clip for $2,950 (pick-up price). One thing I like about XAT is that they're in Florida (Im in Atlanta, GA and my grandad lives in Orlando) and installation is $1000. They also have this Stage 1 which includes:

low mileage SR20DET full clip, Walbro 255 fuel pump, GReddy 3" Downpipe, SHT boost gauge and pod, GReddy type-s BOV and flange welded to GReddy hot pipe, manual boost controller, 3" custom cat-back exhaust (choice of N1 style or drager style muffler), all fluids, plugs, working and charged a/c, power steering, 30 warranty, and installation of motor and all partsTOTAL $4900

There's this shop around here that said they'd install it for $1,200 :( Im kinda debating going ka24de or spending my WRX money on a sr20det...Any recommendations?

go with the stage one swap. You will have everything you need, and the price is good.

I think if either of those companies were worth doing business with, they would have accepted our VERY reasonable advertising rates and come abourd to market directly to NICO members.

Thus far, they have not, which speaks volumes.

Check with some of our advertisers, I think you may be pleasantly surprised.

The fact that they list things like the "intake manifold" should make you run away as fast as you can screaming at the top of your lungs like a bad horror movie.
