IVe heard this topic dicussed a few times. But for people who have experince in the swap. Does the front clip have 1500 dollars worth of parts that you need for the swap? I have heard many conflicting things and i was just curious what experiences yall have had

If you really know or ready to do the swap, then you shouldn't ask that question, if you do then buy the clip...

The good thing about the clip:
complete harness
ignitor chip
Stock Intercooler + bypass valve
MAF
stock air box
radiator + Fan shroud
Pipe for intercooler

Can you make your own engine harness ?

Do you know how much the Ignitor chip cost ? (very expensive)

Do you want to keep the stock recirculation valve + intercooler?

Are you going to run stock MAF or Z32 with AFC?

A good engine swap kit should have all the parts less intercooler for you to  complete you swap.  IE.  Motor(complete) trans, computer, ignitor, UN-CUT wiring harness and usually MAF.  AS lots of question before you buy........

I only know of one place that will get you everything you ask for. That's heavythrottle. Even that's not always gauranteed.
I can't even start to list the reasons to pick a clip over a motorset.

BUY A CLIP!

ECU and the intercooler comes with as well, or at least *should* if it's a front clip.  Yes, clips are about a thousand times better than enginesets, if possible, go with a clip.

If your from southern cali try www.neishlinmotors.com , they specialize in sr's. I called them monday to see about a price. They said for the whole front clip installed would be 4300$. which is a lot but might be worth it cuz some engines they get have 14,000+, i was quoted for an engine with 24,000 miles....peace

i was just looking around being curious running the KA or SR debate in my head. seems like adecent turbo/fuel management kit peiced together runs along 2 grand.  i was just trying to get idea of what a Basic SR deal could run.
i think im just trying to find the cheapest or easist way to have a turbo in my 240
