Anyone know of a good shop that can do a quality DET swap? I was reading about maybe Kansai Motorsports in Seattle but I dunno. My 240 is my daily driver so I want to make sure the swap is carried out by someone who is very familar with it. I'll probably go with an S14 Kouki motor being as my car is a 98. The S15 is too expensive..

Also, to pass smog in Washington, couldn't I just get a PO box and register my car in, say, Enumclaw or Black Diamond? Anyone testify to that (or another local city)?

Thnx!

 

owner of kansai(kevin) has a 240 with the s14 conversion, i'd say hes very knowledgeable about the car. give him a call, you wont regret it. tell him edison sent ya

 

go UP GARAGE or DRIFT OFFICE they are EXPERTS
or EO PERFORMANCE or RAY in Woodville they are expert on Ae86 and SR20dets also RBs

Hey guys, thank you very much for the suggestions. I'll check each and every one of them out!

Nice read on your build up too, SR20S13. Also made me find a new SR forum (Northwest Nissan)!!

 

I saw the Drift Office eightsix in Bellevue the other day.

Kansai Motorsports, they do great work and are very nice guys

 

That awesome.. I rode in.. Driver is Matt he on drift office driver and mechanic.. Also on team called panic- mode (pm!)

I know a lot peeps on ae86, s13,240sx, nw nissans.. They are awesome!

 

Will the shops know what to do about smog or am I on the right track with getting a PO box in a smog-exempt county and try to register the car under that PO box??

 

po box ftw

 

Are you gonna do a S15 conversion?

 

S15 front conversion too common on S13, 180sx and S14.. but i like S15 front

 

thanks, you'll find many threads on nwn with pictures of up garage's installs. I've never worked with them but the detail they do, I can't say i'd go anywhere else. if you got a DOHC turboing it is cheaper in almost everyway. then you don't have to worry about deq. I have a sr in my s13, but i also have a KA-T in my S14. unless you really have a good reason, the SR is not the way to go. theres nothing wrong with the SR at all, the KA-T will always be cheaper. with 7psi i made 240hp and 247tq. which is pretty good for a DD, and about the same as the stock sr will get ya. ka-t.org

 

Just FYI, you can't register your drivers license to a P.O. Box (has to be a physical address now) and you can't register a car to a different address. It's against state law to register a vehicle where you're not living and they're making a big deal about it.

I think it came about when the city of seattle was ****ing everyone over on the monorail and people were trying to avoid the horrific fees for that worthless POS. [shrug]
