s15 conversion prices

[wasabe520]

hey i've been searching and i've come up short but i was wondering what is the price range of an s15 conversion on a 91hatch. i'm really interested on the parts only cause some people tell me $2000, $2200 just on parts. i'm not to worried about the labor cause i already got a price on that but the price from parts vary a lot. also if anybody can tell me about the cheapest place to get them online or if you live in the nyc area and know please let me know. thanx and incase this was already posted. i apologize... just incase to let you know that everybody who gives me a price quote tells me that with $2300 i'll get the rad support, head lights, CF OEM Hood, Fenders Front Bumper, and wire harness for the lights. unless i'm missing anything i think thats all that i need right...other then the side skirts and rear bumper again thanxz for the help

radiator support is not needed. Headlight support brackets are. S13 Silvia ones will work fine. lots of people have used the with the stock radiator support. all you have to do is cut holes behind your headlights because the s15 headlights need more depth. This has been outlined on the forums here by Yoshi so do a search on it. The headlights are not hard to wire either. you do not need a wire harness for them.

i knew there wasn't another s15 thread for a while...

[wasabe520]

well in my defense i wasnt really asking about how to do it i was asking about pricing and especially around the nyc area cause almost everything here comes from the west coast and that includes shippin charges and stuff....

and thanx for the extra tips driftfreaq....much appreciated.

Watchout for the fenders, cause thats the #1 area where the swap gets screwed up. Fenders will make or break an S15 conversion. If you cheap out on those, then the front of your car will look like Lasagna.

[IMPerfection]

OM makes an excellent point, however also be certain that your chosen sideskirts/rear bumper are the same distance off the ground as your front bumper. That, IMHO, is the other area of S15 swaps that makes the car look badly off-balance.

Also, don't double post again, or the mean guy with the search link will hurt you. :)

2g's should be fine, good fenders run around $500 per set , headlights are around $ 600-650 , Carbon fiber hood can he had for around $375 Silvia headlight supports $60-70 maximum, front bumper $200-400 and you could get a oem urethane one used for around $350 which is a good bumper for street because its urethane add a Gracer lip to it down the road and its dope.
So ya 2g's will set you up with a quality front end.
