Hey, well today is the best day of my life, for aslong as i can remember iv always dreamed of one day getting an sr20det and swapping it into my 240 and today i just finished ordering my very own redtop from “jdm racing motors” out of quebec, anyways as iv said before i am a bit of a noob so i have a few questions for you more mechanically inclined members,
1- the motorset does not include a SMIC, not a big problem because the first thing i was planning on doing was changing it over to a bigass FMIC (HKS or Greddy for example, not just a cheap ebay brand one) so my question is if you were running a stock sr20, would it even be worth the money to get such a quality intercooler, and if it was so big would it infact hurt the performance of the engine? similar to having a 3.5" exhaust system on a KA24? i dunno just thought it ask…
2- anybody able to give me the step by step procedure to take when doing the wiring for the swap, or even willing to give me a hand for a small fee when my engine arrives? the engine comes with an uncut harness so it shouldnt be to big of a deal
thanks for any help you can give a poor lil noob like myself :lol:

Have a link for where you got the engine?
1. Having a huge FMIC with wide piping will slow down your throttle response a little bit, but it should be too much of an issue. Its not worth it getting the stock SMIC. It’ll likely cost you $200 or so. I’d just save my pennies for a FMIC and a decent BOV.
2. The wiring info is all found on [heavythrottle.com](http://heavythrottle.com). It’s pretty easy to follow. That page will help you out a ton with the rest of the swap too. I’m sure you could get some help from around here when you get the engine in though.
Good luck!
