aight im new here and i just got a 96 240 and im not gonna go for insane amounts of power.... gonna get an sr20 from a company down here in miami....no rb's for me i dont have that kind of cash... ne ways i was wondering how far the sr20det can go should i start getting power hungry afta i do the swap... the one im looking into says s15 sr20det stock 245 hp comes with 6 speed tranny ecu and wiring harness for around 4k, i saw other ones with 205 horses at like 2k or something but id rather start with the most solid foundation and just build a really solid car i can rev if i feel like it. they say no motor comes with more than 60k km so im wondering if thats about the right price... so im 18 ive saved a decent amount of money to spend on this car and i live in miami so im pretty shure i dont need 400 horses... this is the right way to go right?... engine currently has 120k miles but is in pretty dam good shape and ive driven a bunch lately and my cars engine seems to be stronger than some 240's with 80k-90k miles. extremedimensions.com has a gangster @ss r33 bodykit for like under 800 bucks... again im a nooby so dont thrash im just trying to learn as much as i can...

the one im looking into says s15 sr20det stock 245 hp comes with 6 speed tranny ecu and wiring harness for around 4k, i saw other ones with 205 horses at like 2k or something but id rather start with the most solid foundation and just build a really solid car i can rev if i feel like it

go with the s14 sr20det. the s15's 6 speed tranny was poorly built and isnt very strong.

first off...someone delete this thread i accidentally double posted, and second...i get the 6 speed is weaker thing but if u read the other post im not looking for 450 hps, im trying to build a fun daily driver... so yes 6 speed may be weaker but it will handle the power im gonna give it... at least thats wat one of suislide's post led me to believe...

WOAH. didnt even see the other thread...

6spd Is Not Weaker..... Its Actually Quite Strong And Quite Expensive.
