I Had Ht Do A Swap For Me On My 95 S14 And I Was Very Unhappy With There Owner . I Had To Go Easy On My Way Home Because Ht Could Not Tune My Power Fc Or Get Jwt Ecu To Work With The Msd Injectors . The Owner Told Me Just Because We Advertise Them Dont Mean We Can Install Them . So I Drove Home My Car 300miles With A Built Motor And A Gt2871r Turbo Running On A Factory Ecu With Factory Injectors . All That After 6 Months Of Them Calling About 1 Thing After Another And $15,000 Spent On The Swap . All My Factory Parts Were Stolen Buy Them And They Tried To Steal My Ka Witch The Old Owner Just Had Factory Rebuilt .
My Swap Consisted Of 1 Sr Red Top With New Sr20det Harness/valve Cover/valves/grexx Springs/crower Retainers/hks Head Gasket/jic Manifold/gt2871 Turbo/o.e.m Gasket Kit/greddy Cam Gears/hks Stg.2cams/greddy Pulleys/new Oil And Water Pumps/tomei Fuel Pump/greddy V Spec Fmic/greddy S13 Intake With A New Z32 Maf/hks Hotpipe Ssq Bov/taka Lines/koyo Rad/fal 230 Fans/exedy Flywheel/spec Stg.3 Clutch/greddy Oil Pan/greddy Fp,water Temp & Boost Gauge/jgy Fuel Rail W/msd 72# Injectors/blitz Rad Hose/obx Downpipe/greddy Turbo Elbow/splitfire Coilpacks/greddy Profec Type S Boost Control/greddy Turbo Timer/greddy Intake Manifold
And When I Got Home I Installed My New Hks Manifold & Gtrs Turbo Kit,now For A Private Owner This A Pretty Great Package At Least Price Wise Its As Expensive As You Can Really Get
I Dont Have A Dyno But With It Running With 22# Of Boost It Seemed To Hit 400hp And It Boost's Smooth And Fast , I Have More Lag On My Audi Tt . But As I Reflect On All The Money I Have Spent On A Namebrand Swap With The Best Of Everything I See That The Gt2871r Would Of Been A More Powerful Turbo For 40% The Cost And I Love My Hks Stuff But $1000 For A Manifold When I Look At A Meagan It Looks Very Comprable For $89.99 So I Dont Think I Will Ever Go This Route Again . If I Would Of Known Of The Bs That Shops Give You With There Installs I Would Of Had A Stock Sr Swap Done With Maybe The Head Work And Fmic Then Done All The Other Myself .
I See Some People Saying Good Things About Heavy Throttle But I Dont Think They Had Any Major Work Done There . They Had A Local Crew Of 16 Year Old Kids For Mechanics That I Think The Owner Pays Migrant Worker Wages To And His Car Is The Greatest According To Him But Its A Booty Swap With Junk Parts And When You Meet Tuning Shop Owners 1/2 Are Arrogant Like Heavy Throttle And The Other 1/2 Are Helpfull And Kind . I Have Purchased A Lot Of Parts Through Jgy And Always Had Good Informative Help And Great Prices And Jeff The Owner Of Heavy Throttle Was Dissing Jgy When I Was Out There But Later He Slipped Up And Said He Got Most Of His Parts Through Them . Another Thing Is That I Told Ht That I Would Buy A Few Parts Through Them But They Could Not Get Anything , The Owner Said No Injectors For 3 Months . It Seemed Stupid Because I Could Get Them Cheaper And Next Day And I Dont Do Buisness Like They Do . So Always Get Your Own Parts A Month After I Was Suposed To Pick Up My Car They Called And Said That They Could Get A Gt2871r Turbo For Me But It Would Be $1399 And Take 6 Weeks , Now I Have Purchase A Few For Other Buyers From Jgy And It Cost $980 And Takes 2 Days Then Ht Got Upset Because I Bought My Own And Sent It To Them So I Dont Know If This Has A Point But I Hope It Stops Someone From Making A Mistake And Having A Morron Do There Swap .
