Manners my rosey red a$$. When I came outside and saw this behomith sitting nose in the air where my cars was suposed to be, and a cop car there too. I'm a 6'4" 235LB bald guy who LOOKS like a supremist minus the tats. I was pissed. She ran away and cop aproached me. I told him I wasn't gonna do nothin. Well I found her truck the other day. I just put BB's in her valve stem caps. They deflate over a couple days and nobody ever thinks the caps will cause that. I know its a little mean, but MAN. ON my car. The suspension didn't handle that too well. Looking back I think it was kind of funny, I was expecting my car to rise a little when she romoved her tank from on top of it. My car stayed flat on the ground, didn't budge an inch. Insurance totalled it when he looked under the hood, it had to be cut open. Broke the mounts and the engine was crooked. Frame gave a sight permanent positive camber too. I don't want to think what the view from under the car would be like. Well that FC at school was crap so I ain't getting that. But I did find an 76 chevy luv. Now I'm thinking four rotars, or the supra 2jzgte twin turbo. Probably do the supra, it being smog legal and the luv is a 76(needs smog in so cal). I'll save my 13b for something else. Maybe a fiero, after a lot of frame and suspention mods.

Well as the title says. I am wanting to put a 13b turbo into my 89 240sx coupe. Does anybody of of an article that list where I can get the conversion peices or a company I can purchase them from, and does anybody know if my current 5 speed can handle the 13b or should I get the original style tranny as well.


im thinking the same thing. a 3 rotor would probly way as much as the ka right? if everything has to be custom how bout a 3rd gen swap? would it be easier because its a different mounting position?

wow 50k that sounds about right when you can get the motor for roughly 4500 and a usual rebuild is like 3k with new housings, so 50k sounds just about right for a extra housing, that was a real good approximation



now back to my questions: a 20b would probly weight the same as a ka motor?, and as far as the mounting differences on the 13brew and 13bt wich would be a better fit?

I read in a Japanese magazine that the weight of the 13B-rew motor with ex. manifold/turbo/dp/intercooler/UIM/LIM weighs more same as the SR20 motor with the same stuff.
