I suspect you are about to be flamed without remorse. The best thing you can do to learn would be to click the search button.

^^ Ditto. You're going to spend easily over $10k.

IMHO, I love s-chassis', but that engine deserves a better home.

If the price tag isn't enough to dissuade you, check this out...

Don't say I didn't help. Search next time and you'll see what kind of an undertaking this is. It's not for an S13, but it's still going to be a bitch.

all you need is money. as long as you have a steady supply of money. that is all that is needed to get the swap done.

just so you don't think everyone on here's a deuschebag (not saying you guys up there are, you're just being real with the guy). you need the motorset, mounts, intercooler +piping, fuel pump, an rb25 transmission, me to do your wiring, exhaust, and a bunch of money. i'd do your entire swap for less than 10k and supply the motor.

^^ Z U L8R is right about the price, I was wrong earlier.

I was thinking of the few people who have done full RB26 swaps with AWD. THAT will cost you way more than $10k. Requires a lot of custom fab work.

dont forget the oil pan, you need either a modded stock one or a modded rb25 one, and a baller cooling system

It all depends on where your source your parts and who does your build. It could easily cost over 10k or somebody could give you a budget hook up for less. In the end you get what you pay for . Take it FWIW.

stock twins clear the rack, you buy or mod your rear turbo outlet, but single is the way to go anyway ;)

some people think its more efficient.

but its really just personal preference.

yeah personal preference, (i think) the engine tone sounds better(mostly because of the equal length tubular manifold you would use), and you dont have to worry about blowing some old used turbos and having to find some replacements, plus its easier to work on with the turbo up top
