well its really up to you... if your looking for an engine turbo ready then yeah why not... but just do alot of research and ask people who did the swap... so that would be my best advice ... i cant tell you yeah but really i wont mine one bit have an sr20det in my 240sx but anyways... have fun and spank any honda in your way

sounds like a good deal to me...
make sure what you're getting is in working conditition though

Archangel · 10-02-2001, 11:01 PM

That is a good deal, does that include shipping??

The hard part of doing the swap is finding someone who knows how to do it, and do it right, and won't charge you twice what the engine cost.
Definately look into finding someone who will do it before you buy.  Otherwise you might have a very nice silvia engine....  sitting in your garage.

2 grand.

Can you introduce me to this friend of your's.  Thats a great deal.  A KA turbo kit will run you 3300K easy.

Just a reply to the topic title and subtitle:

YES YOU SHOULD!

You should do ANYTHING to make your car faster. Especially when it involves a turbo engine swap. But if you don't wanna do it, you can buy it for me. Christmas is coming up anyway.

IceTekGuy · 10-03-2001, 09:34 PM
