tervanun Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 (edited) Howdy everyone, So Im new to the whole Z community but I recently acquired a 240 restoration project and Im looking into doing an SR20DET swap for more power... I have heard of a couple places for rb's but is there any favored or go-to places to source these engines or not really? Thanks!

logr Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 They are all over but don't count on not doing anything to it. Pretty much every one needs a valve job at the least but thats just an excuse to put in a steel headgasket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jsal32 Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 They are all over but don't count on not doing anything to it. Pretty much every one needs a valve job at the least but thats just an excuse to put in a steel headgasket. That's too much and not necessarily accurate.. The S13 community does these swaps left and right. Most of which are straight up drop-in and go. Aside from your typical fluids, belts, filters and spark plugs I would change the water pump and do a clutch job while the eng/trans is out and drop it in. The key is to find a low mileage engine being sold from a reputable shop. In the case of the OP being that he's in San Diego.... Try: http://www.pandagarage.com/products/engines.html Reputable shops will sell engine sets or clips ranging from ~$2000-$3000. You can find cheaper alternatives all day but then you'll be dealing with issues that logr speaks of. Good luck, Jose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tervanun Posted September 10, 2012 Author Share Posted September 10, 2012 Wow that was a nice vid I've been considering a 13b swap into my 240 as I already have a built NA sourced, but I'm still leaning towards the sr20 for the availability of parts, knowledge on the swap, turbo (I have a thing for turbos), and it being injected... Any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
