Don't want to spend to much maybe the 10k mark and would use a couple times a week and need the set up to be reliable and don't care about engineer cert. As I have never in the 8 years owning the car had cops look under the hood

Every engine you've listed will probably cost more than $10k to rebuild and install in an S15, think wiring, clutch, ecu, fabrication etc etc.

Why do you want an engine conversion, what are you doing with the car? A built SR20 will be both legal(enough) and will be a great match for the car.

I used to have a vl turbo and just loved the sound and the performance of it but the cops picked on me non stop so ended saleing it, the SR I want to keep aside as a original for one day. All the fabrication I will do my self as I'm pretty handy the only thing that I'm gonna have a problem with is the wiring but will sort it out, to have a 6 in it would be awesome the sound gives me goosebumps

RB25 now we're talking but one thing I don't know is can I use r33 k frame and g-box mount so I don't have to use after market mounts?? To save a little bit of cash there, thats all I'm stuck on If I'm going to do this...

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
