Im kinda new to 240's so im not quite sure of what all has to be done when swapping a sr20det redtop into a 1990 s13. I jus bought the car with a blown engine and i want to go ahead and do the swap so if its not too much more so i dont have to put the ka back in untill i can get the money. I found a few engines that come with the following.
Complete Motor Complete Head
Intake Manifold Distributor
Turbo Starter
5 Speed Exhaust
Alternator Throttle Body
Fuel Rail Injectors
All Sensors
Now do i need to get anything else or do anything to my body before i can put this into the 240? Some have said i need to get an s14/s15 front clip and battery relocations n what not some say i dont so im kinda confused on what needs to be done
check your tranny make sure its in good cond before you put that and in and see if it has a LSD in it thos are good to have depending on what your goin to use your 240 for.. make sure you have good motor mounts and be ready to dump more money into it once you gett it all running... lot of things go wrong once you get things running and breaking it in... and rebuild the motor be4 you put it all in there check the cams and all that to make sure there is no cracks in it... and most important good luck with it all
alright, well the only thing is im a little low on funds, and for now i wanna find the cheapest way to get a turbo in my car. Any other suggestions on how i can do that?

Stop being low on funds. Save your money and do it right.

well i can afford what i listed up above, what my question was is there anything else i need to do or get to make this engine work/fit in my car. If its not too much more i can do it if its too much more, i was just going to put the ka motor back in it until i can do it right
you're gonna want to replace the clutch and get the flywheel resurfaced. you're also gonna want to get an exhaust and downpipe, the stock one is too restrictive for a turbo motor. get a fuel pump, 300zx fuel filter, and since that one doesn't come with it, you'll need an intercooler. you'll also need to save some money for any oem parts and gaskets that may need to be replaced.
when you get a front mount intercooler, you'll need to cut the bumper support if you want to keep it. you may also need to drill holes for the piping. also relocating the battery to the trunk would be a good idea.
i took out a loan for $5000, and it got me a S13 blacktop motorset, tomei fuel pump, hks exhaust, tomei fuel pump, xs engineering downpipe, greddy fmic, rps clutch, koyo oem radiator, wiring, all the fluids, and still some money left over. so between $4000-5000 should do it for you.

The SR20 motor bolts in very easy; it'll bolt up to your KA tranny and will bolt up to the existing front motor mounts. The big problem can arise from electrical wiring; there are two ways to accomplish this. Splice your existing wiring to the SR engine harness or use a custom made wiring harness.
In all cases, make sure to puchase a complete SR20DET package; not just the motor by itself. Go to this web site for some excellect info:
Thats a good site they show you basicly the entire process. I havent done the swap but i researched a shit load. You wanna know how to do the swap and then the upgrades your going to do before you do the swap so you can do the swap with parts you plan on using. like for example if you want a lightweight flywheel with the clutch then your better off doing it in the beggining rather then doing the swap and then undo a lot of shit to get to the tranny and then replce it. Will save you a lot of time and money. You see so you wanna do most of the research before you attempt the swap and it would be nice to know some ppl around you that done the swap before, theres a lot of ppl, that do the swaps specially if your in cali. Well good luck. Oh yea this is the first set of mods i plan on doing with the engine swap.
