    Default RB20 Swap.

    How hard is it to swap a RB20 into a S13?
    (919): so I was just driving high and I stopped to let a pinecone cross the road because I thought it was a hedgehog.

    Easy. We have one running on Road Atlanta that is staying on Top.

    Mounts/wiring/intercooler piping is really all you need as long as the stock clutch is in decent shape.

    770-388-5233 for swap details.

    I am really thinking about doing that swap since the RB is so cheap.I found a package that is 1200 for the following: Motor
    Transmission
    ECU
    Wiring Harness
    Turbo
    Power Steering Pump
    AC compressor
    Alternator
    Starter
    Intake Manifold
    Turbo Manifold
    Ignitor Chip (available)
    MAFS (available)

    Just make sure you are ready to do the swap because most places only allow a 30 start up warranty so if you wait 30 days to do the swap...your screwed if the motor turns out to be bad. I know that we have the mounts in stock and I think we are a little backed up on wiring, that normally takes 2 weeks either way. You can use the stock side mount too, piping is just for an FMIC.

    Good idea. How much would it cost for those motor mounts and intercooler piping? What other wiring do I need?

    Mounts run about 350.00 w/o tax. You have to wire the engine harness to work with the S13 Chassis harness, we can do that for 275.00 w/o tax.
    He is changing the intercoolerpiping stuff around a little so I don't know how he quotes it now...if you do want to do a front mount you can just call up there and ask for a quote.

    as in you bring the car to us with a motor?

    You can bring the whole car to us and we can get everything, basically you would come down and drive it home.

    I'm not to sure on pricing, hit us up tomorrow and you can get an exact quote.

    ALL MOTOR mean N/A Motor section (powered only buy the motor i.e. no turbo, supercharger, N20).....the RB20 isnt N/A...this if anything belongs in the nissan section or F/I or general Tech

    its no biggie....no one reads the All motor section anyway lol....well besides me i guess and a few of the honda guys. When i originally read the thread title i thought maybe you were trying to work an N/A RB20DE into your car......that would actually be pretty neat...they rev to no end with a balanced crank and some minor head work......but still dont make much power
