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. Just get a motor with good compression and drop it in there.
