So I bought an sr and I didn't realize how much stuff you really need after you actually get your motor so I am making a list of things you will need after you get your motor to actually get your motor in your car and to get it running the same day.

1.intercooler + piping2.blow off valve3.most likely but not all of the time a new clutch4.walbro 255 fuel pump is a must5.intake cone with maf adaptor6.oil I recommend royal purple amazing stuff7.trans fluid8.rad fluid9.downpipe10.radiator

Keep in mind this is just a list of things you will need if you just wanna get the motor running it doesn't include the things that may need to be replaced on your motor.

If your short on money you can use the ka radiator, just get different hoses. Dont forget heater hoses.

Nothing extremely major, but still sucking me dry

All supporting mods I've bought so far-Aluminum radiator/fans/hoses-clutchmasters stage 3 clutch kit-FMIC with greddy flanged hotpipe and BOV-Nissan OEM gasket rebuild kit-Stainless clutch/brakes/turbo lines-Greddy RAS-Wireharness-Flywheel resurfaced-Walbro pump-ARP head studs-New rear trans seal and release bearing-fuel and oil filter-Ebay maf adapter (POS doesn't line up lol)think that's it

After you get an SR you need to get a well paying job so you can afford aftermarket goodies

After I got my swap, they didn't send me everything. They left out the ignitor and the boost pressure sensor. Obviously the car won't run without the ignitor so I had to buy one of those.

But this is a good idea for new sr people.

+100 and make sure they offer ample time off so you can replace the rest of the stuff you didn't when you first installed it.....I still love it though

Don't forget about the many bars of soap you will need to wash out your mouth from cursing all the time when you start chasing down the SR startup engine gremlins!!!
