ok just outta curiousity, and where better to start asking these questions then here. I’m lookin’ at swapin the ol’ KA for the SR red top, now my question is this, cheapest place that does the best swap including price of the motor and all, stock setup nothin special at the moment. budget is everything here, if you want to know the budget its alot lower then i’d like it to be. isn’t it always.

I bought my clip from a place in montreal for 2 grand … and swapped it in with a couple buddies over 3 days ish … its pretty simple … the wiring is the trickiest part and there are dvds that tell you exactly what to do … just do your research man … its more fun and you learn alot more then just paying someone to do it … and then you have even more money for mods :wink:

if your doing an s14 swap your looking at around 3200$ but if i were you really spend the extra money and put the rb25det or if your feeling flossy swap the rb26dett. Either way all these swaps are considerable upgrades

He asked about the SR, not an RB…keep it on motor. Lets not make this into a “this motor is better for you” thread.

Just like anything else “you get what you pay for”
Do yourself a favour and dont cheap out…

as much as i’d like the rb its way outta my price range

if you’re on a budget, DIY is really the only way.

if you pay someone to do it on a budget, first of all it will probably end up exceeding the budget. secondly, if you manage to stay inside it corners WILL be cut and it will cause headaches and problems down the road.

also rb20 is less money than an sr hehe… as for an rb25 only the install is more… the front clip pricing for sr is the same as an rb25

sinse your on a budget im guessing your going with a redtop sr. and if your swapping it into a s13 it will cost u sooooo much less because the wiring is pretty simple.
but if your putting a redtop motor into a s14 like i did, the wiring will take much longer because you have more wiring to do, i spent about 5 hours with my harness out of the car sitting and wiring it, it may take less for someone who has done it more than 1ns though. no parts included i spent about 60 bucks doing my swap, but yeah that wont happen unless you get lucky enough to have a shop to your self for a day and a couple of friends to help.

a redtop swap into a s13 is pretty simple so if you know any shop that u know does good work ask them if they would be willing to do the swap for you if you supply them with the wiring info.

yeah that all sounds fair up there 350 for the wiring to s14 is a good price , everything priced decent but i do think the thermostat is over priced.
