GS-R motor is very close in level of performance and significantly cheaper.

I'd say you should allow for an $7000 dollar budget.

 

hmm.. interesting. is it $7k for the full type r/manual conversion? or for the gsr? cuz i'm thinkin' about teh gsr swap as well.. what do u guys think?

 

An ITR engine bolted to an auto trans is a complete waste of time and money... you might as well use an auto B18A.

The stock mounts work fine, do not use the mounts that come with the B18C5. They won't quite line up.

The electronics need to be backdated to OBD-1, an easy enough job.

dang that doc rocks^ thanks man

 

FLashoptions has jdm front cuts and a few itr cuts at some good prices i think there was one there for about 5k full front clip check it out.

 

The shipping on a front clip is more then a swap... plus he won't have any use for the extra parts.

I've heard too many horror stories about flashoptions.com (esp. from the 240 crowd) to even think about using them.

 

Flashoptions has cheaper shipping rates then you would think and all ther other useable parts can be resold

 

oops accidently hit enter before i got to finish, yes i would agree that the 240 crowd dose have problems with the motors they buy. you have to remember that most of the sr20's they buy come out of s13, s14, and s15 those cars are driven hard over there. My frind has had no problems what so ever with his jdm 13btt that he bought his only complaint is that gas is too expensive seeing as how he cant run anything less then 97 with octane booster but thats about it. And none of my friends have had a problem what so ever with their itr motors. The 1st thing they all did when thet got the motor was rebuild it seeing as how you dont know how hard the car was driven or whats happend to the car. There are always things to consider.
