Swaps in Texas

[nightshift]

Does anyone know who does swaps in Texas like Im willing to go anywhere along I-35 Dallas, Waco, Austin, San Antonio, and maybe Houston . . . the best deal I found so far is 3800.00 at BoostFactor in Irving for a redtop but just want to see what other options or if anyone else is closer:help

I've heard bad things about boostfactor..there is also CTC Motorsports in Dallas Check out their website http://www.ctcmotorsprts.com or you could do what I do... I'm going to go to Afterdark tuning in Iowa... It might be a long ways away, but Daunttless is saving me 1700 dollars over going to CTC

"Holly dog sh1t....Texas?!?.... only steers and queers come from texas private cowboy, and you don't look much like a steer, so that kinda narrows it down... Do you suck d1cks?.. Are you a peter-popper?... I bet you the kind of guy who would fu*K a person in the as$ and wouldn't have the common curtacy to give him a reach around..."

lol.. i love that line.... hope you guys know what i'm talking about...

Theres tyrone in austin who would do the swap theres protech but theyll charge u for ur left nut.

[nightshift]

How much is Tyrone charging? I dont feel like giving up a lefty . . . .

[240SXer]

Anyone know of anyone in Cali that'll do it for a good price?

[nightshift]

also Jemil Im curious to hear whats wrong with boostfactor, as far as what bad things you heard? Most of the swap prices I get are 4400+ so 3800 looks like gold. :help

[GoofyATX240]

Tyone's prices vary but i could ask him or I could get the number and you could call him.

[jemil118]

I haven't heard anyting directly...just other people saying to avoid them...Dauntless will do the install for 3929...that includes:2400 for the SR20det redtop100 for the intake400 for the exhaust100 for the downpipe129 for the fuel pump1000 for the install

All that for 100 dollars more than what you were origionally willing to pay...of course it all depends how far you are willing to drive to get what you want

[jemil118]

Don't do you do it, you hijack queen!!!:zap

[nightshift]

honestly thats not a bad deal . . . but from here to Iowa . . . .I need someone in Texas I wouldnt mind payin a lil more as long as it was good work and closer cause at least then I could just drop the car off and have someone take me there and back Iowa is too far to ask a friend for a lift to. " Hey, bro you mind giving me a lift to Iowa?" LOL Then again I could catch a plane back and then there to pick the car up. Well I got until April to think about it

[jemil118]

Daunt told me that if I gave him several weeks notice, he could have the car ready in 1 or 2 days... he said I could stay in the shop...I don't know if he has a cot or spare bed setup there or what... but basically all I had to pay for was gas and food....and being off for 3 days...

[nightshift]

well once school lets out in April I might have to think about that but, I dont know him like you probably do. Eh but shoot I would do it then if he can do it in 2 or 3 days. Well Time to go home and get off of company internet, I hope my internet is back on at home.

[stunt_driver]

you can get it done in lubbock or amarillo but its a backyard garage my friend does swaps and he did 2 sr swaps already and only charges like $400 for labor but you gotta have all the parts and its only a weekend thing so it might take awhile or you can always go to duy at boost factor he seems coo when i talked to him

Sorry to bring a post back from the dead but I'm using Lightspeed Performance out of Houston for the swap.

I here in Houston and is looking for a good place to swap. What did hey quote you? Also, do they have the SR or do I have to find one myself?

Tom, the owner, can source you one right now if you're interested.....I haven't gotten the full price of install with the upgrades I want, but the price should be decent;)

[phast]

Finished product can be seen here as the "Latest Project"

how much you spend? BTW, is that the S13 blacktop?

[phast]

The engine is from a '94 180sx. I paid 4-5k with all my upgrades, some of which are not installed and not on the list of mods that is on the page.

Tom at LightSpeed is a great guy, and very reliable.If you want it done right in Texas, I would definately consider him in the top 3 of the state.

[gringo]

I have a buddy in houston that could do an engine swap pretty cheap. He swap out his motor to a chevy LT1 with 350th transmission so I think he could do about anything to a 240sx. We belong to S.T.R.O. car club. Check out the web site at http://www.southtexasracing.org .

Yeah, i called up lightspeed in early january, hes only like 15 miles fro me sop thats cool, he was very informative and knew what he was talking about, im going to him if i cant find anybody else that has a better price than him.

[nightshift]

Damn, I havent logged on for awhile and was suprised to see my post brought back to life. Ive heard of Lightspeed and was actually considering giving them a call.

I think most everyone has heard of Cartune in Cali. Its my understanding that Boostfactor is now CartuneTexas (dont know what happend) and I got an email from them not too long ago that they would do the red-top swap for 3500. Being that Im in Waco they are only about 2 hours away so Im probably going to be going with them. http://www.cartunetexas.com

are you guys talkin a swap for the s13 or the s14, i was given the impression that the s14 swap wont pass emissions
