s13 Black Top Vs. Red Top - Page 2

Mofec701 · #16 11-01-2005, 02:16 PM

I would have no choice but to put the SR20 s13 engine whenever i do get a silvia. Its the only one i can afford when i can save up the money. Right now some guy i know is selling the shell of a 240, (everything in the car without the engine and shifter), for $580. I'm sure i can earn that easily. But all the parts for a full s13 engine swap is about $2200 alone, without shipping cost. By any chance some1 know where i can get one for a cheaper price, and i can set that as my saving goal?

Uhhh... no

You just have to use all of the S15 Driveline Tranny+Driveshaft+Diff.

lol, just something that wasn't metioned (i think) is that S15 have 6-speed gearbox which is found a bit weaker due to smaller gears, but most of the people will never notice that. Only some drifters broke it, some do use it though.
S13 Blacktop is superior to any other SR, even though they have variable timing (s15, s14) it is actually a minus in the long run.

It's a minus for people looking for really high horsepower, but it's a plus for most people.

Thats what I ment by "in the long run", if planning on modifying your car to really high hp then VVT is a minus, for Daily driven car it is a major plus as it keeps the torque somewhat equal throughout the powerband.

Yet no one answers my question!!! But when i do have enough money i plan on gettin a s13 engine, i need more info other than hp and torque to sway my decision.

And S13 engine could mean the SR, CA or either KAE or KADE.

thats true, i assumed he was talking SR...

Lordy Lord.

Any SR that costs 2200$ is gonna be a trashcan Ebay motor. Plan to save 3000$ MINIMUM for the bare bones "look at my stock SR" swap package.

Every Question you've asked has been answered in this thread.

ZOMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A) Unless it comes with the Odometer intact then you dont know how many miles it has on it.

B) Milage doesnt matter much anyway. Compression hardly matters. The only good way to judge a motor is leakdown.

C) I don't really care what you buy if you want to risk some 2200$ motor and then spend 500$ getting stuff that needs to be replaced or that the motorset didnt come with then go for it. I got mine from Phase2motortrend.com and Phase2 or SRSwap.com would be the only two places I'd ever buy from.

Srry bout that!!! I was trippin that day i wrote it. Sleep depraved.

Mofec701 · #29 11-04-2005, 06:58 PM

Oh yeah, before i finally get some sleep, (damn overtime), here's the site my friend told me to get the engine from...

http://www.jspecautosports.com/catal...px?prod_id=165

my friend says it comes with everything i need in order to perform the swap, other than the little small stuff. this is what i was savin up for at first.

TY to the person that showed me the two sites where they got their sr20 from. Ill look at it tommorrow.

R.W.240 · #30 11-04-2005, 07:21 PM

Well that place at least looks like they've got their shit toghether.

I'd ask for a leakdown test, but I dont really see any reason not to buy there. I'll always stick with Phase2 or SRSwap.com personally.
