I'm pretty close on closing the deal on and SR20DET an individual has out in Canada. But, there are a few things missing which he said I could source out and I'm assuming Heavy Throttle would be quite helpful for those parts. this is whats the package is including:

-Engine

-Top Engine Harness

- ECU engine harness

- No ECU.

- Lower Engine /transmission harness

- Power Steering pump

- Alternator

- Starter

- AC compressor

- Igniter Chip and assembly / some wire cut

- Turbo

- MAFS

- Throttle Body

- Transmission

So, all you experts out there... give me the low down on what I need to do to make this swap complete.. and please, no posts/FLAMES telling me to save up more for the entire front clip.. I'll be planning on upgrading to an FMIC and lots more upgrades so this is a project in the works.. I'm really looking forward to build this car up and I'm doing it for the fun and build up VWs in the past.. I can't believe how excited I am about building up a Nissan. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'> Anyway, any suggestions.. tips, and opinions will be greatly appreciated and look forward to be one of the Silvia crew. &nbsp;Also are the clutch pedal assemblies REALLY that hard to locate for the S13? I was thinking of doing the convert from Auto to manual then a couple of people I've talked to have said its better off to save and wait for a 5speed.. and that the clutch pedal assemblies are extremely hard to locate and find.

Anyway, Thanks for all the help! &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':thumbsup:'>

1) You would need a ECU, some kind of downpipe and air filter.

2) Top Engine Harness - There's no such thing unless he meant to say it's the top harness for the ignition coil packs. &nbsp;That's called ignition sub harness. &nbsp;If he's missing that you can source those readily, we have a bunch of used ones because we switched to the Splitfire coil packs that replaced the whole sub harness.

3) Ignitor Chip - some wires cut. &nbsp;Now, I would really be worry about this statement. &nbsp;The wires connecting to the ignitor chip IS THE MAIN ENGINE HARNESS. &nbsp;Out of everything you get for SR, a cut engine harness is something you don't want to buy.

I would have the guy take picture of what he's got and you inspecting the picture carefully before you spend your investment.

Just my opinions.

I have seen the pictures, However, I'm unsure if the wire I see is the actual MAIN ENGINE HARNESS. If it is cut, would there be a way to replace the Wire Harness? Being that I would need to replace the ecu.. thanks for your insights <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':thumbsup:'> Anyone else have any suggetions?

And are clutch pedal assemblies difficult to obtain?

TIA

How much of a difference do the splitfires make w/ a redtop?

This all depends on one thing...the asking price. &nbsp;How much? &nbsp;Then we can tell you if it's worth it or not.
