Whats the total costs for the sr20det black tops swap?

[831_salinas240sx]

i currently have a ka24de with 141k miles into it and i am thinking about gettin the sr20det black top including transmission into it so i am 1st wondering how much would it be for the entire purchas,shiping, and installation.

i've been going to R&D factory in montebello for help here and there with my swap. i beleive for a red top + swap they were charging $2,800 for the whole thing. thats a pretty decent price but im sure its a little more for a black top. maybe like $200. i guess its a start right?i did the swap myself and got my clip from a buddy of mine, it was $2,100 from a place in irwindale, right next to the racetrack. another place to check out is mckinney motorsports, or phase 2 motorsports. they are all pretty local to socal so at least you can pick stuff up without shipping. but i would shop around, figure out what the prices are and make sure the shop you take it to does a good job.

S13 or S14 blacktop?

2800 for a clean blacktop swap is incredible. My front clip was 3000+ tax

But I was able to get one that actually had verified mileage and a warranty for startup plus 3k miles...And the motor had extremely low miles.

The problem is that where i live at there arent many industrial shops for imports. The city i live in is salinas in the central coast in cali. but if you are able to give me more info on the swap and everything else from that shop, then i will be more than happy to take it there for the mission

I got my swap done at R&D. they are great guys. the motor boosts fine but cold start is hard...

i really recommend finding shops that dont just put the motor in the car and start it up. There are things that need to be done to the motor so make sure if you talk to a shop that costs more that they can give you a good reason for costing more. Most people will do a bare bones swap for cheap. By bare bones I mean no exhaust, no fuel pump, no water pump,no ac, and no seals replaced and you still have to bring them a clutch or pay for theirs and even worse, no tuning. And you still dont really know where they are getting their motors...Ebay ?

If they leave off any of these things (with exception to the exhaust/downpipe) you would probably be happier in the end with a reputable shop that costs a little more and gives you a quality, running car.

You will be happier when you know you dont have to replace seals and pumps and get a higher performance clutch a few months after your swap

But on the brighter side, I dont live in Cali and dont know the quality of their work vs, what we put out in GA.

i just bought an s14 blacktop for 2800 after shipping it came with everything except a maf. it did have an intercooler though wich was hard to find anywhere else. ask for jb he will set you up with every thing you need. they sell the maf's brand new for $175. i probably should of got one of those to.
