you are not likely to find one for your target price range. save up another$500 and get the apexi power fc, which is a great true standalone-fully tunable in every facet.

How have you not figured out how to search yet, its SO easy.

You will not find ANY stand alone system for less than $1000 period, and thats just for the setup. You will also need extras like a wideband, and dont forget about getting it tuned, at $175 an hour. I would say going stand alone will cost you at least $1500.

Stand alone is only one option. Codyace for example is make 400 rwhp on a stock bottom end, and he is using a rom tune. Rom tunes are reliable, they are safe, they are capable of making plenty of power, and guess what, a good one will cost you $500.

The only problem with a rom tune, is you cant really change too much. Before you get the rom tune, you need to decide on what injectors, MAFS, turbo, and Cams, that you want to run. If you can decide on those things, and stick with them, then a rom tune is the way to go.

if you were to get a rom tune i would suggest a piggyback as well to fine tune with. and i would HIGHLY recommend a wideband o2 no matter what you get

you know what why not even waste anytime posting that crap --- You know what a lot of threads on here date back to early 2000 and when you search often times you find old or outdated info. Then you get bashed for posting a thread about needing something. First off information for this sr20det swap into 240sxs is not abundant.

It seems that the honda people you make fun of have a lot more support, are a lot nicer, and get the information you need when you need it instead of throwing out crap like you just posted.... If you know it all great but not everyone is at your level so they need advise. If you don't want to help or just throw it back then do not post at all....

I run a JWT rom tune with a cobra maf, and a SAFC-II piggyback for fine tuning. I make 345whp with stock head,cams, and intake with a GT2871R .64ar. I also have a NGK wideband for safety. I am adding JWT S4 cams, topspeed intake, and reflashing without the SAFC and shooting for the 400whp mark on 93 pump gas. I'll let you know how it goes. I know the JWT rom tune and cobra MAF are good for up to 500whp and that would be at the limit of my 72lbs. injectors. I plan to go GT30R topmount over the winter and try to max out my tune and injectors. I just haven't decided if $2500 for a top mount setup is worth the laggy 50-100+ whp??? I am starting to think that codyace,idahotuner, and my setup are the most street friendly/bang for your buck setups you will get on a SR?

1. STFU about that which you do not understand.

2. There is a plethora of information regarding the SR, VG, LS, RB, and CA, archived within this forum, if you knew how to search properly, you would know that. And I dont mean just searching Nico either, Google is a powerful tool, learn to use it.

3. WTF do you mean by the Honda comment, show me one place where I have said anything bad about them. Had you been a member for more than 3 weeks you would know that I own two hondas. I am a member on multiple Honda boards, though I do not post, because all anyone ever does there is flame.

4. I normally dont jump straight on the search bandwagon, unless its a really stupid questions. Miguel here is a liar, and a knowitall, I'm not going to build his car for him, if he wants information, he needs to learn to look for it, I think we've held his hand long enough..

x2 -- and oh for your information. For all the crap that is out there for our sr20dets there are no complete step by step wiring diagrams anywhere. They make hints as to what the steps might be but do not tell you. If you look for the europe or jdm service manuals and they break each electrical component down but do not give you all the information. So that leaves peps like you and me spending 300 bucks to Yuri on wiring services. Hondas are simple as can be -- but 2 months into this swap and I still do not have a running car. The engine should be going in this weekend though.....

...o..k?

I'm going to have to side with FBI (just noticed, FlatBlackIan)

If you would have searched before you started this thread you would have realized that you can't get a complete standalone SYSTEM for under $900. It may be easier to ask on the forums and I don't mind helping someone out but if your going to be doing a swap then you need to research like a beezy on crack cocaine. Especially if your getting into standalone systems.

I think the first step of the engine swap is research research research. Google, Search on Nico (don't forget to search archived content.) I've read about 6 months worth of information about the SR so when the time comes I can be prepared.

And saying "I can post whatever I want" is just childish. You have been here long enough to know to search before you ask.

Wow. You are a tard. I know of 4-5 wiring guides that are as detailed as anyone with half a brain would need to wire up an SR. I'm pretty sure you fall into the category of having less than half a brain so even for you there is a video that has a STEP BY STEP walkthrough on wiring the SR. Judging how you view advice to look for info on your own, however, you will most likely not even attempt wiring yourself so there are several prefab options for you.

No one said you did have to search and it's definitely a free board. Which also means we reserve the right not to answer stupid questions that have already been answered before. FBI put it a lot nicer than I would've. I just think you are a goddamn baby, and no one is getting paid to babysit you.

what a turd.. well you know Ian did not do his own wiring -- Yuri did mine as well. The same people on here bitching about searching are the same idiots trying to sell you a 20 dollar DVD showing you how to wire up an sr20det into a 240sx. Tell me this then and provide a link for a wiring service steps for an sr20det with abs, cruise control and all going into a 1996 240sx automatic?

I bet you can not do it.

Nope I can't, and do you want to know why? Because Im not your *****.

You dont ask nicely, you show no respect towards anyone, and you generally act like you are 15 years old, despite what it says in your profile. I have never professed to be anything more then barely capable at wiring, its not my forte and it serves me well to admit so.

Learn some respect, it shall serve you well, also, a little grammar lesson wouldn't hurt either. You act like I'm an inconsiderate prick, yet, look through my posts, here, I will even give you links.zerothread?id=354644 zerothread?id=345047 zerothread?id=353876 zerothread?id=353443 zerothread?id=353315And that is just from the first page of my recent topics list. To those who ask nicely, I am honest, helpful, and good tempered, its just kids like you who want everthing done for them who bring out my ugly side. Do you really think that by asking someone for help while at the same time disrespecting them, you will get anywhere? Grow up.

I did not ask for your help and I looked for almost a week all over the internet including factory service manuals and there is not a FREE source out there. You are the one who dishes out on peps when they ask questions on multiple threads repeating the same old search crap over and over again. There must be a reason why you have an s13 redtop motor in your s14? I do not know what that is but I think I know. It is a WHOLE lot easier of an install than an s14 series 2 motor into a USDM s14.

You spout off how you are nice to people in other threads when you repeat the same old song and dance. I basically got tried of your repeated zero post thread and decided to say something about it to reduce the absolute crap that you find on this board.

Yes new ones go forth and search for then you will find the answer in which you seek. The answer is just to keep searching because we do not KNOW the answer or we are too lazy to post it.

Why should I? I figured all of the above out myself (minus cruise control) and learned through trial and error. I then looked for the answers myself. What incentive do I have to GIVE a jackass such as yourself info others are selling? Paypal me $20 and you'll get your links. Until then have fun troubleshooting your ****ed up harness.

Let's see it.

Edit: Let's not. I can look for one of Yuri's harnesses anywhere. Enough threadjacking. I'm going to ignore any of your further comments. They are almost unequivocally unhelpful and negative
