Apr 15, 2019 · It’s like a HS dreamer post. Anyone that says “I have access to a welder” has no idea what they’re doing. The best engine for a drift car is an engine that goes perfectly into the next car after you’ve crashed the last car. I spent thousands on an SR20 swap and out 25K miles on the car before I totaled it.

Sep 17, 2021 · When I had the swap done I popped in stage 1 Esslinger cams with a base ecutek tune for 91 and 93 octane the shop gave standard.

Swapping the manifolds and accessories over was pretty painless, and the minor modifications needed here and there were straightforward.

Dec 8, 2021 · Won the lottery and got my ND2 from US with the engine busted. Now have to think about whether to search and install the original engine or go for an engine swap. Not looking for something super crazy and complicated, but I think that additional 50hp+ is …

May 12, 2020 · Engine swaps never worked out well for me (240sx, 350z). Hard to do while keeping the price down and the overall car reliable.
