i just recently have crashed my baby into a median while intoxicated and am inquireing the boards opinion on the s14 front end conversion and where the best place to purchace it. your posts are greatly apreciated.

 

i like s14 conversion...don't knwo where to get it though...i hear its like 2500 or something

 

Your not in jail? You sure dont have mcuh respect for your car. why do you ned a conversion? You already have an s14..right?

 

i dont think its a good idea.....

 

Well, first off check for frame damage and make sure *all* of that is fixed first (very important for fit). Silvia conversions are neither cheap nor simple. Read up on Sport Compact Car's write up of it a few months back and also look at your online resources such as silvia.org or 240sx.org. Decide what engine your want, you have a choice of the S13 engine (red top; beefier internals and better boost potential, also widely available), S14 (variable cam timing; cool feature, but can only handle so much), S13 black top (actually out of a turbo 180sx) and I think there was an S14 blue top. You can also get an S15 engine, but those are both difficult to find and *very* expensive.

The swap involves the Silvia engine, stock SMIC or you can get a FMIC (need to cut into the stock front bumper or buy aftermarket), the Silvia ECU (usually included with engine), and lengthening the wires to accomodate going from right-hand to left-hand drive. Engine mounts, driveshaft, transmission, etc. all mount up to stock U.S. cars. Bear in mind that the engines cost anywhere from about $2k on up (expect $2,500 to $3k) and labor will range from $1000 to $1500. This doesn't account for beefier internals, FMIC, larger injectors, fuel management (S-AFC, possibly an FPR), revised turbo manifold, turbo downpipe, intercooler piping, catback exhaust, hi-flo catalytic convertor, BOV and a few things I'm forgetting. A well-done swap including upgrades will run you anywhere from $6k-$10k. I hope you've been saving all your nickels and dimes.

 

i forgot to mention this was a 93 civic hatch i was talkin about to get the pic of the conversion it is at importtrenz.com on the first page jus scroll down i dont kno how to post pics or i would thanks for tha imput

 

Extreme demensions has an s14 conversion kit that comes with new fenders, hood, bumper. I like the conversion if it is done correctly by a professional so it looks like it was made for the car. But as said earlier, make sure your frame is not messed up at all.

 

Doesn't look to bad but i like the integra front alittle more.

 

i like the s2k the best

 

I didn't realize that you were just trying to change out the front clip for cosmetic reasons. Personally, I think they both look like ass h:
