what's your budget?

like 2600

Was it a turbo car originally? If so, get another turbo engine. Otherwise, I probably wouldn't as it could exceed your budget.

well i found a whole front clip turbo for 2600 from japan but i was told but a couple of my friends that have the sr20 that i should put the sr20 in there instead of the rotary because the rotary has to many problems. i dont belive them but i need different opinions

No no no. Death to SR20s!



Buy an S5 turbo motor. They're like $900 at Rotary Shack.

I love that myth.Every little ricer in the world believes in SR20 swaps thanks to F&F and thier SR20 powered civic. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683785.gif Just get a motor with good compression and drop it in there.

Hey man...I drive a Turbo II FC, and my brother's got a blacktop S13 SR20DET in his fastback 240, and it owns. Don't diss that motor, other than the RB25 and RB26, it's the best Nissan motor there is. (besides the S15 SR20 of course)..
