What's up people! I need y'all help. Recently my friend gave me his 95 240 because he bought a M3 and just didn't want the daily driver anymore. It's in good condition inside and out. I have a S15 SR20 built 240 back home on the east coast but here's my problem... I'm from the east coast! I dont know any known/good shops out here that will sell and install the S14 Sr20 for a good price. I'm only out here because i'm in the Navy so help me out people! Where can i go to get a SR20 swap and 5 speed conversion done for a good price! Thanks for all your help.

So far smoothlinez auto salon in South El Monte have done the cleanest and best work so far on my sr20det swap. Ask for Rick. Their price aren't the best but you pay for what you get. I had my swap done and other places and ended eventually ended up getting it done correctly at smoothlinez + they have a dynojet system. should go there and check out their work nicest s13 ever!!!

I think Bardabe is the best deal.

honestly

If you have a lot of money I guess Marco is uber magazine credit.


lately though more and more Ive discovered people featured in Magazines are just that pictures.

it gives them giant precedent to raise prices sky high.

Juan does really good work though. Better than I did at his age. By a long run.

I was under the impression that you could walk down the street and find someone who can swap an SR on the West Coast

Pretty much. ANYONE and their MOM claims to be able to do it. However, there are only a select few that will work on your car as if it were their car.
