<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'> i just bought myself a 1997 240sx, after 6 months of searching every corner, and finally it is mine. &nbsp;The only thing im worried about now is being able to get my hands on a s14 sr20det motor. my good friend has quoted me a price from this guy 2000 + shipping ( for black top sr20det front clip, there are red top sr20dets for 1600 + shipping for those who want one) but i dont know if the guy is reliable. i just wanted to know if u all know of any other place where i can aquire a s14 sr20det. &nbsp;And if possible, a place where i can get the install done in the east coast. &nbsp;thanks for your help.

Welcome to the Boards!
That's a great price but if the guy isnt reliable than it will suck, lol. &nbsp;where are you gettin these clips from? &nbsp;do they have a site? &nbsp;you prolly wont find one any cheaper than that.

$2k for a S14 black top clip seems a little too cheap for me. &nbsp;Be careful. &nbsp;Finding a black top for that price on the east coast will be difficult.

Now, my OT response <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/hehe.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':hehe:'> SORRY


Just because you have an S14, it may be important to you that you have an S14 black top in there. &nbsp;Understandable, and in fact a wise decision because S14 black tops tend to be in better shape and lower mileage than a lot of red tops. &nbsp;However, don't be afraid to just get a red top and save some money (make sure you get a lot of info and in person inspection if possible). &nbsp;VTC only does so much, and it is debatable whether it really helps under increased boost. &nbsp;IMO, getting the S14 for VTC and a T28 is not worth it. &nbsp;Just get a S13 redtop or black top and throw an S15 T28 if you are keen on the garrett ball bearing turbo. &nbsp;OR, spend a few hundred more and get a GT2835 or 3037 depending on your taste - direct bolt on.

the GT2835 and GT3037 are not direct bolton....the stock manifold will fit a GT2510, GT2530, GT2540. &nbsp;HKS sell a direct bolt on GT Sport Turbo kit(just turbo and internal WG) but they usually retail about $1800-2000.

If you want to run a GT2835 you have to buy the HKS Full GT kit which includes Stainless Manifold, DP, WG etc...and retails for about $4000.

Chris,

To my understanding GT2835 is direct bolt on, 3037 on the other hand is the one that needs the stainless manifolds and everything else.

I sold a GT2835 before and it came with a T25 flange.

GT25/40R on Andy's SR was very nice, it's very streetable. &nbsp;However turbo experts said that it's a mis matched turbo from HKS and not very efficient on a technical perspective. &nbsp;I would recommend GT28/35R, it was dynoed 400rwhp in Japan on a MR2.

Always get the "R" if you are getting the bolt on turbo from HKS. It's the best!! <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

Yea Andy's been tempting me big time. &nbsp;He also had 264 intake and 272 exhaust cams too. &nbsp;Man this is turning out to be like how my FD started.

that's really cheap...for a S14 black top engine...man..$2000? i'll take it right away, but for such a cheap price of course we will worry about it's bogus or reliability...better check out those front clips with yuor mechanics first to make the decision...!!
