Ive always wanted to build up my integra but this 240 offer just looks so good. So let me know what you guys think. sr240 or build the DA??? Thanks

[Benefit]

integra, do the 240 and dig your own grave

[Tracy]

I say 240

[Benefit]

you will be spending 3-4k to do the sr swap , with that much money in a integra...shit

[BobbyFresco]

I say sell both and get a Euro car...Bmw, Vw, or Audi......

240

you will be spending 3-4k to do the sr swap , with that much money in a integra...shit

Maybe if you bought it and couldn't do any work yourself... And got a downpipe and exhaust while you were at it.

[jdogg319]

ive found some cheap sr motors so yeah 3k-4k does sound a lil to high for a common swap...

[slowrolla97]

why are you saying an sr swap will be 3-4k??

Sr from jhot=1600
comes with everything, side mount DP, ecu wiring.

Or you could get an rb25 for 2k.
But that swap would set you back to around 3.5-4k for mounts and drive shaft and FMIC and what not.

i didnt say it would earlier in the forum someone said it would but them are some cheap prices you got right there

240sx +1

[SLo_MKIII]

Build DA

[Maniaç]

What kind of a question is that? Stop acting like a faggot and build that 240.

[jdogg319]

240 does sound good right now...maybe ill just do both up

[Benefit]

i guess you are forgetting stuff like fuel pump , suspension, an exhaust , the ECU wiring...and if i were you i would definetly buy a front clip...and slowrolla...nice ebay prices.

and if you want a full breakdown of everything you have do along with prices i can give you that to...no way you are putting a SR20DET into an S13 for 1600$

[Killswitch Performance]

Hahahahh! Those aren't ebay prices you idiot. Those are Prices from Jhot. Can you not read?

Why would you need a front clip? So you can get.. Brakes, a RHD shell you will have to get rid of, A/C lines you probably won't use, and a shitload more hassle picking the thing up? You need nothing a clip provides to do the swap. Motorsets these days come with everything besides a SMIC, and you can get a FMIC setup for $350.

And since when do you need suspension to do an SR swap?

You can hotwire the stock fuel pump until you get a walboro. It works fine.

I do SR swaps for $500, so.. $1600, plus $500= 2100. I could put SR's in 240's all day long for $1600.

Benefit.. I really don't see how you make it through the day.

They are a "true" Japanese part and motor supplier out of Augusta. The only reason why they sell thier parts for cheaper than most other places is because they own two salvage yards in Japan. When you buy a motor from them, they provide just about everything that came in the engine bay and they warranty their parts. Also, they can tell you the exact mileage and stuff like that.

Not all ebay stores are "bad"

If money isnt a problem why not both? One can be a DD and the other a toy.

I was considering that DA with few mods as my DD and the 240 as my toy itd be nice...because i dont want to do both...maybe ill just do the DA and sell the 240 shell or vice versa...if anyone wants either ones pm me

ok buy your bargain basement SR, but when it fucks up ,

and since you love ebay so much, i dont see any sr's for 1600$ from jhot.


1. Front clip from a low mileage 180sx $2400 (or "1600$" from ebay which i wouldnt trust), labor $750, (or 500 from mr. tyler)

2. greddy down pipe $125, ebay fmic $250, intake $50, radiator $300, boost gauge $100, turbo timer $75, ssac exhaust $250,

total $4300

Ok. Since when do you HAVE to buy a front mount intercooler, or HAVE to have a $300 radiator?. And you most definitely don't HAVE to get a turbo timer...
That cuts that price alone back down to $3675 if you do it your expensive way, and have nothing at all to do with putting it in yourself.

I do agree that he should get a clip because it does save some trouble, but its not necessary for some of these things like a turbo timer and a front mount to get started.

Buy a front clip (as stated before, 2400 bucks.) and have it put in. Puts you right about 3200 if you have somebody do it, 3000 if tyler does.

when you dont buy a front clip

[Kalifornia087]

when you dont buy a front clip

Supposing your car didn't already have one, maybe. But even then, 300 is almost a koyo... it can be done cheaper.

[sullen]

uh, as in a 240 with a front clip from a 180? that would mean you bought a front clip for it man.

[Benefit]

or we can go the sr special and do it this way

1600 sr , 500 from mr hell fire , downpipe for 125, fmic for 250 , 200 radiator , and say you dont need a boost gauge or turbo timer , well even throw that out...but exhaust for 250...we come up with the total

3000$.......hmmmmm, weird.

who the hell would drive a sr'd 240 on stock suspension?

"hotwire the fuel pump UNTIL you can afford a walbro" wtf?? wouldnt you have to buy it anyways?........

[Benefit]

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/JDM-S...45505083QQrdZ1

does this mean i can put an sr in my car for 900$ + ecu, wiring, transmission? and even if i do, how long until that sr with UNKNOWN milage blows up?, "30 day warranty" which they will fuck you over with anyways....

[Elbow]

Build the DA!!!!!!! Everyone has a SR 240

[jdogg319]

Damn so many choices...i get where you guys are all coming from but how much roughly would a sr20 swap be??? Cuz im getting different prices here and there

[BobbyFresco]

You've seriously picked two cars that have been done to death....Case in point, look at any number of threads on this forum......

I'm sorry homie, but I would go a different route...
I personally say cash in on both cars and buy something else..Whether it be a Euro, an older Supra, or an RX7.....

If money isnt a problem why do you drive a 91 integra?

BCUZ i just moved down here and had a car lined up already from my bro...and it is a 91 teg. I dont plan on buying any cars since a integra has always been one of my cars of choice. plus im buying a bike. does that answer it

[WalkS]

do both, you cant do wrong with a free car! do little to both at the same time.

thats a good idea...thanks

[sullen]

i like SR's. but yea, might as well spend more money on the SR and get one with a good guarantee. mine blew, and the seller wouldn't honor his warantee. didnt even get to drive the thing. and when you get the SR, just to be on the safe side, just go ahead and put a new oil pump and water pump in it. mine are both bad, haven't got the money to get them yet. as far as wiring goes, you can do all thatr yourself, i did. mine started, then the motor blew from compnent failures. www.HeavyThrottle.com has a wiring guide. all you need is a soldering iron, electrical tape, and the stock KA harness to hack up.
