average prices of SR20DET......

ok first of i'm 99% sure this has been posted a lot of times, so dont get all pissy. Now time in narrowing down for me in feb. i plan to have a 240 and take a loan and do a SR20DET swap, so i figured i'll post something.

I was wondering how much you have found the full complete swap for and where from, it will be helpful (looking for the s13 blacktop or maybe an s14 redtop and blacktop) dont worry about the s15 i definantly dont have any money for that one!

18 to 25 us i guess.
i can get semi-complete kits under 16... but those are just that, semi-complete.

Within the first price range, you can get somewhere between what you think is complete and the full clip. I've sold full half clips in that price range in the past.

*180sx half-clip doesn't llok like silvia front end. It is almost exactly like our us/canadian 240sx S13.

I highly recommend getting a clip. I got a redtop for around $2200 but you end up spending another $87857832302573 on stupid little parts you dont get with just the motorset. Get a clip so you have all the little hoses and bolts and doohickies and gadgetrons that you will need.

I like KAs better but anyway if you want to do an SR swap I can't stop you. There are many sites if you search on yahoo that supply silvia clips. This way you can also use the fenders, bumper, lights, and hood as well. With the clips, you will have EVERYTHING that you need. Check out my sig.

but in my own opinion with less reliabity...if you were to build the ka to sr reliabilty you would be spending money also...in the end the price comes out to about the same...granted though the ka will probably have more power though...but still less reliable...but thats what i think...so jdm guy how much could you get a black top s13 for...not looking for turbo and all that non sence, really just looking for a long block (i.e. no turbo, tranny ect)

oh yea..has anyone bought anything from jdm guy...kinda curious if hes another night7racing...no offense jdm guy...just covering my ass if i end up buying something from you

I don't know about you or anything but the KA has more reliability when you rebuilding it because that is a must for turboing. No matter what you say, it will be cheaper for anyone to be working on a KA and have the same reliabilty in the end.

there is a guy here who i know drives a 240 with the redtop swap, and he never had to many problems with having to buy extra parts. But that doesnt matter much because i know of a couple people who will have extra parts from doing these swaps.

There you go and i hope this helps and i think the black top is for the s15 and it had 250 hp right(correst if im wrong)

i dont think that sunrise motors company had the complete motor swap with everything but thanks.

Yea completes guna b hard to find mayb find a persona and not a company or buy the motor used then upgrade it with used parts

Yeah, those guys are right near where I live, I have to stop by there when I get my 240.... I think they did the RB26DETT swap in an S14a that's around here.

well u should get a front clip make sure they include everything needed for the swap but if u buy a clip that will be no problem and usually you get what u pay for dont buy one of those "complete kits" that sells for 1600 cause u will have problems

LOL sometimes I wounder if some front clips were stolen cars destroyed for profit.

it would not surprise me with a percentage of them, but Japan is pretty strict on there swaps every so many miles, kinda like a timeline for motor, very stange buy hey at least we get motors under 50,000miles which is pretty much brandnew, just the downpart they have been sitting there for years and years.

i goto school w/ 2 brothers from okinowa or however u spell it and they told me that we get the front clips here in america because everyone in jdm world destroys the rear from drifting so they just take the front clip and sell it here in america they cant really make money on them in japan because that would be like trying to sell a civic ex front clip here in america they are so common there is no money in it but there is money in bringing the clips to america

i would believe that!
i was reading on all these SR20 stores who i might buy from, still dont know about how the engines are getting more and more expensive because the demand in America is growing so fast Japan was starting to run low on clips so the prices had to get raised and now when you buy a front clip 90% of time it will not come with side panels like they did a couple years back.

cause they are using the side panels for conversions so they make money on the clip in 2 ways

yep yep. i hate when things like this happen i hope the 240's do not become civics ( and yes i know there was a post long time ago for 240 the new civic) just thought i would speak aloud.

it cant be the next civic there arent enough 240's for that to happen which is good but its bad if one of us wrecks ours cause then we have to search for another one which could take a while

i know how that is because im trying to find a 240 right now that needs a motor.

im trying to also find one but there isnt anythign under 8k with low miles, cuz i want low miles becuz ill be driving it for awhile and for tunign purposes u kno

but in my own opinion with less reliabity...if you were to build the ka to sr reliabilty you would be spending money also...in the end the price comes out to about the same...granted though the ka will probably have more power though...but still less reliable...but thats what i think...so jdm guy how much could you get a black top s13 for...not looking for turbo and all that non sence, really just looking for a long block (i.e. no turbo, tranny ect)

The KA is a more reliable engine because it can handle much more wear and tear because of its design and being an iron block copared to the SR which is an aluminum motor.

The KA motor rebuilt and turboed would make a better drag car for about the same price as an SR clip, and installation.

Although on the other hand the SR being an aluminum motor and having a higher power band is a better motor for drifting.

The average price of a front clip is about $2500 from a reliable source.

Also, the KA can take forced induction better if you find ways to cool it down like bigger oil coolers and such like that.
