how much did you spend on your swap??? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

TheTimanator · 01-20-2003, 03:48 PM

I am almost done getting everything together so now I'm just waiting to get the SR

So far I have spent a total of $4,208.00
that includes the car, engine+shipping, downpipe, exhaust, fuel pump and all the other misc...stuff. I expect to spend at least antoher $200 before I get it running.

So how much have you guys spent (just for the basics)?

Bbandit · 01-20-2003, 03:57 PM

wow cheapo!
i spent 1500 on my car and almost a grand more to fix some stuff..

*HaLo* · 01-20-2003, 04:16 PM

I have spent 8653.04$ for my swap.

Includes S15 T28 Turbo upgrade, Fidanza Flywheel, FMIC, 300ZX MAF, Nismo 555cc injectors and many electronic gadgets.

LOwrestling2001 · 01-21-2003, 01:58 AM

hmmm so far...3400 for motor swap + labor...around 200 for custom clutch...325 for FMIC w 21.5x6.5x3 core, 200 for custom piping for the IC...150 for downpipe..215 for turbo extension...100 for intake kit...think thats it...for now

total 4590...

matt0941 · 01-21-2003, 07:27 AM

uiuc240 · 01-21-2003, 08:35 AM

redtop = 2500
install = 1000
greddy dp = 175
act clutch = 350?...can't remember
autometer gauges = 125
flex-a-lite dual 12" fans = 225
koyo radiator = 325
walbro 190 lph fuel pump = 90
ngk platinum plugs = 40
cheapo air filter = 40
new tach = 75

if you count the n1 dual exhaust that i already had = 520...

so it's either 4945 or 5465

and then there's the 600 on Z brakes, 250 for the b&m, 200 for OEM alloys for the snow-time, 1100 for the whiteline works kit....

omg. the money just goes.

but hey, i'm upgrading the turbo to a t28 this summer and adding an fmic, kmd manifold, and a boost controller...yay! more money!

It can. Get the engine for $180 from UH, and install it yourself. Spend like $200 on gauges, $130 for a fuel pump, $500 for an exhaust and you're golden. Of course... you'd probably only be hitting 195hp at the wheels with the s13 redtop, too.
The thing is, an sr or ka-t is a beginning, not an end. Hence the thousands spent. I'm just glad I don't feel so bad for dumping cash into my car now.

240sxer95 · 01-23-2003, 02:32 AM

i havent gotten it yet but i know a shop that will get my the motor for about 1500 + depending on condition and what it comes with ( like if it has mods ) and they will charge about 500-600 for install...

I got the engine for less than 900$, but I still managed to go over 8k for the swap. It's easy to get the price up... espacially if you don't buy a front clip. But hey, ~300whp is worth the money, right?

Jim96SC2 · 01-23-2003, 03:47 PM

Lets see...

Car: 900
SR20DET, FMIC, fuel pump, stage 2 clutch, DP, HP, HKS SSQV probably one or two things I'm forgetting: 4319

Next in: radiator, fan, belts, hoses, flywheel, intake, battery relocation kit, plugs, fluids, exhaust, guages, etc: ~1600

The engine isn't even in the car yet!

graphikg04 · 01-23-2003, 05:01 PM

Damn, it seems like some of you guys have gotten some good deals! It is good to know that a lot of the 240 community is commited to the SR. WHo cares about smog and all that huh? Oh and plus, is anybody selling or know who is selling a front kit 300zx brake conversion setup for a 240? For a good price, and a good product? Anybody? Anybody?

hooter · 01-23-2003, 05:26 PM

My car is at $6500 or so including car and all parts.

well anyways anyone intrested in buying s13 silvia front ends?

TheTimanator · 01-24-2003, 04:25 PM

wow anywhere from $4200-8400. I guess it kinda depends on how far you go with the swap to be considered done. My car will be totally stock except for the engine and a few accessories to make it run (i'm in school and broke)

do any of you guys have the part numbers for the hoses I need? or should I just buy the HT EZ kit?

*HaLo* · 01-24-2003, 04:45 PM

Go with the EZ kit, you'll have everything you need.
