Newb question

[06tC-92S13]

I know this is a newb question so please be easy, this forum is not set up like others I've used for my bikes or tC and the search is a little sketchy. Anyway, the question is: What motor should I look into swapping in my s13? I want the power to drift but will not be a dedicated drifter or straight line racer. I just want something fun to drive and have looked at the cost of a few options and don't want to do an ls swap, most I would spend is up to a rb26dett but my understanding is they are a pain with the twin turbos and the steering. I have access to a fair amount of fab equipment and the car is not on a timeline. The car is a hicas and has lsd. Thanks and all opinions welcome. I don't want to spend more than 6-7k hard parts. Labor will be on me :2f2f: With all the experience on this forum I hope to get some constructive comments

I should have included I want 300+ hp at the wheel, tC is around there so I want to have some rwd fun!

Like 85% of the swaps youll see into an s13 will be an sr20. 300 hp is very achievable to the wheels, and there are a shitton of companies that make swap kit for it. Plus there are a lot of places to get new after market parts, and since there are so many swaps done you can even get a lot of quality used parts if you are on a budget. But that is just my 2 cents. Bottom line is whether you want to do what is tried and true, or be of the rare crowd that chooses to do something as awesome as an rb26dett swap.

OR you can do an LS swap...all the cool kids are doing it

im getting mine done for less than 10k(that includes buying an S14 to put it in) and LS1's will put down about 315+whp with just the supporting mods that you need to get the swap done.

this is where i have how much money I have spent on my swap: http://zilvia.net/f/engine-tech/333485-ls1-s13-handling-power-delivery-2.html

If you have any questions about the LS swap...pm me

"The Search is a little sketchy" = It doesn't work exactly like some OTHER site I've been on, so instead of actually TRYING to find answers for myself, I'll take the lazy route and ask these guys to spoon-feed me.

All that bullshit = :lockd:
