Where did you all buy your SR's?

[DRFT24O]

...and for how much and how do they run?thanks

[Onizuka]

Heavy Throttle, $2500, really good except for a bad input shaft bearing in the transmission.

The turbo was in excellent shape, its now doing buisness on a CA18DET.

[yellow_jacket]

Bought mine from CardinalPerformance. Bought a front clip, Runs great, doesn't use a drop of oil between changes(3,000 miles on fully synthetic). I havn't replaced a single thing.

[justmerging]

phase2motortrend, $2650 for a front clip, no problems whatsoever except for a leaky P/S pump which they replaced.

[SR20DETPoweredS14]

240SXmotoring.com for about $3500 (S14 Blacktop) runs perfect so far everything needed for the swap was included.

[robbbby]

Afterdark tuning. Doesn't exist anymore. Thank god.

[GTS4-R]

Heavy throttle also.....had a bent fuel rail and no MAFS and they called me to tell me they were in the mail before i even noticed.....AWESOME GUYS.....great customer service.....make sure to talk to Jeff tho since Yury is no longer in NY with him. Ive heard the newer guys are so great......but i highly reccommend

[DRFT24O]

im assuming these are all complete swaps included is everything you need.. do you NEED an aftermarket intercooler or can you use the stock one temporarily? (if it comes with one) thanks

[GTS4-R]

with a front clip ull have everything (including the stock SMIC and fan/shroud) except for a DP (maybe a stock rusty one) ull need a fuel pump and want a clutch and intake at a minimum. If u buy a complete swap (non-clip) it will NOT include the stock SMIC so ull need to find either a SMIC or FMIC. also ull need electric fans and hoses to hook up the backwards radiator hook ups......there are alot of other things ull want like dp/test pipe, clutch, BC, gauges and such but dont HAVE to have. I highly reccommend an ACT S/S clutch, FMIC, 3in EX/DP, BC, Intake, BOV, boost gauge, fans, and fuel pump. Also i say get the wiring done by a pro....the 100 bux will keep ur bay looking clean.....ive seen some birdsnests and it totally SUX to look at and deal with

PS keep in mind that clips cost 2 to 3 TIMES more to ship

Phase2Motortrend...Wayne is the best in the business in SoCal...

[PalmerWMD]

Enjuku's Sr was in my last S13.

Fred..

[getnrowdy23]

best japanese...1800 (cut harness, 4 months to get the ECU, CLEAN head tho)

[nnkfws333]

http://www.XATRACING.com (XAT Racing) In Tampa FL. I don't have the car anymore but still running strong.

[89240]

I got mine from Totaljdm.com....the motor runs good but however the customer service is not it. I bought a MOTOR SET that included the engine, transmission, un-cut harness, ECU, Igniter, MAF ect.. So i got the motor in 3 or 4 days which was nice and it looked clean but it was missing the ECU and MAF so i told about this and they said the give the stuff. To make a long story short the basically bullsh@ted me for about three months and they only sent the MAF after I told the guy ECU and MAF!! what an idiot so i said screw them and got all the parts from the forums here....I don't recommend them at all....they suck!

[yellow_jacket]

Oh yeah,

I also just bought my RB25 swap from jdmengines in Miami, FL. I'll let you all know how it goes in a couple of weeks.

[cheez80]

cartune motorsports, industry, ca

ok, so-so, the turbo is leaking oil a bit now.

other than that, strong motor, replaced my ecu when i accidentally fried it (*embarrassed*)

heard some bad stuff about them back in the day, though =P

[mynameisjonas]

i just ordered mine from jspecautosports.com out of michigan on monday night online. they contacted me tuesday morning and said they would try to send it out that day. so far they are very good, i'll let you know when i get it and put it in. oh it cost $2300 shipped, it's supposed to include everything w/ uncut harness etc. , we'll see.

[DawgMode]

lol mine came with one

[goose04]

If I ordered the redtop from heavy throttle would everything come with it to do a swap or would I need to buy anything ?

[need2drift]

I'm just another heavythrottle saticfied costumer... I would highly recomend them jeff was real cool and helped me out when ever i needed it. Great to do business with!

[Morph]

I paid 1650 S13 sr black top from ....... Osaka yes i know but i was feeling lucky and i did get lucky engine was perfect besides being 2 months late and a little dirty. But dont go there they dont have a very good rep.

[9240sx]

I got my S13 front clip & vlsd from LS AUTOMOTIVE.Very nice price i think around $3000 shipped for the whole thing clip and vlsd.Engine was very dirty and the turbo was bad.But i really like the guys at ls auto very helpful and my coilpack cover was missing and they sent me one for free!!

[mynameisjonas]

i just talked to the shipping company and they said it's coming on tuesday! so it's only going to take a week to get it since i ordered it, i'd say that's pretty good.

[sgpnismo]

forced induction racing http://www.fi-r.com payed $2200 for redtop without intercooler(bought fmic at same time). It was in perfect condition no problems at all except i had to powder coat the valve cover.

[ETTInnov04]

ARD Performance, it's a 96' Blacktop. Had no gauge cluster but posted some of the highest compression results I had seen. It was 2,450, 31XX to VA from CA. When it got here I popped the valve cover and everthing was still silver. Had a blown 4-bolt turbo gasket(found out after install). Not too bad the guy who sold it to me didnt know very much about the motor, car, swap or anything relevant. Just try and pictures of YOUR clip before it ships or you pay

Cardinal Performance, Chips the man

by michigan you mean quebec? jspec is not a US based company, says so on their website.

[TristanDET]

I got mine from jazzproparts.They did take forever to get the engine to me, but the shipping was free.The wire harnes was cut So they had to order a brand new one from japan.I had to wait for that to come.I paid 1,700 for it.Came with everything but the mafs, and the igniter chip.I got a q45 mafs now and i ordered a chip from heavy throttle (nice quality)the mafs was 125 and came with the plug!

[mynameisjonas]

sorry i think you're right. when i was talking to them i thought they said the engine was coming out of michigan, i don't know i've been ordering alot of stuff. i may have gotten it confused with something else.

[lmnhed]

Yeah I paid $2400 for a motorset from Cartune Motorsports way back in the day and it was junk, piston rings were blown out, so I called them and the owner told me it was cus I used synthetic oil. Organic oil probably would have been better but my ring landings came out in peices, I know synthetic oil didn't do that. With them it seems like a roll of the dice, I have heard from others that they have had good experiences. Hopefully they have changed there shady ways cus my ordeal was about 4 years ago, but I am still a little bent over it.

Got my next motor, to replace the ****ty one, from Marco Vargas at SR20store.com, he was awesome. Straight guy that won't mislead you at all. With Marco you get what you pay for. I strongly recommend him.
