HyrdoPlaned my Honda

[HoiSIn]

Just crashed my baby. I m  impressed by the numbers put out by the sr20det swap the boys and gals at honda-acura net were talking of. Anyways i got $8500-$1000 to spend. Realistically would this be enough to cover the cost of a early 90s 240 and a sr20det swap. How much of a headache is it to maintain this JDM motor and how long are these motors good for?

Welcome to Zilvia.net

* Find a car.
-Usually on E-Bay. You can find one for less than $3000 that si in a great condition.
* Search websites for a price. There are plenty of SR20DET motor providers all over the states. Where are you located?

North CA- i would probably just do all the work/ordering/installation at a local tuner shop. As fer the car i will probably go to the San Fran.

Where in Nor Cal? &nbsp;Ever heard of Motorsport Dynamics? &nbsp;If you want to do the swap, call them at (916) 648-8000 and ask for Nate. &nbsp;He'll get you the info. &nbsp;

Beware of California smog laws if this is your daily driver...

Uhmm, not to be rude, but if you can't handle a wimpy fwd, how are you going to handle a rwd turbo car with 2wice the hp? &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/whatsthat.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':whatthe:'>

I've always been a closet 240SX fan. In high school I had to pretend that I loved Hondas since I went to school with riceboys (well, not that Hondas signify "riceboys", it's just that some of these morons didn't have taste when tuning them). Eventually, I started to like Honda and learned about Honda tuning, pure Honda tuning. Then I got bored and started learning about other cars aside from Honda. We welcome your new found interest with open arms. &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':thumbsup:'>

Sorry about the mishap, good luck in finding a replacement.

Thats what I was thinking. &nbsp;If he can't controll a FWD car what's gonna happen to the poor 240sx he will buy &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':('>
