Well you got to quit looking at it as dollar vs HP because if you have a ga then you know damn well that finding good parts is hard to find at times. The sr has SOOOO much more out there available, beside the fact that it is just a tougher and more durable motor to begin with, and also beside the fact that it has more horsies and is larger and even has a higher redline.
I'm doing the swap myself on my GA sometime this summer. And I have already checked around and the swap will cost me no more than $2k and at the MOST a week's worth of down time. $2k is much cheaper than buying another car... a car I have no idea what has happend in it's history, a car that I have no idea the kind of troubles that it may give me, and I'll be saving myself some debt that would come about if I decided to just get a faster car. So that's my arguement on the whole shabang with the swap not worth the money.......... because it is very much worth it to me and my project car.
Kthx =D
Also...... so from what I gather from this post that I can use a sr20 from an nx200 also? Can I get a complete list of cars that I can do the sr20 swap with because I'm just going to buy a wrecked one of whatever (planning on another 200sx ATM)... that'd make it easier for me to find faster if I can look for other wrecked cars that'll have the motor besides JUST the 200. What about TB and manifolds and such... would that be the same in other cars with sr20 besides the 200?
Thanks, and flame away!
