The motor is an S13 Blacktop @ 2700$ with everything included except the following: Exhaust, Downpipe, BOV, Intercooler, Clutch, Injectors, Radiator, and Fuel Pump. I would also like to throw in a boost controller, most likely MBC because they're cheap or a 2-in-1 gauge/controller setup. The motor will be going into an S13 coupe. My question is what parts do you guys recommend to fill the above mentioned spots. I really would rather avoid buying Megan everything to make budget, if you think I would have to do that to make my 6k cut-off then say it. Vendors feel free to chime in with some deals you have going on right now that may help me out. Any and all intelligent/serious responses are greatly apreciated, thanks in advance.
IMHO $2700 is too much. You can get a clip from a good reliable souce for ~$2000. Make sure the compression is tested and good. Replace the seals. Run it STOCK except for what usually needs to be replaced (intake, downpipe, exhaust, etc.) to make sure everything runs ok. Worry about mods later.
