I finally managed to stuff up my 4ac  (Hard knocking sound,then it sound like a gun shot windscreen with oil,everywhere  ), what i wasent expencting was a hole on the bonnet. Anyway all this long im still trying to save up for a sr20det. Since i need this car almost daily, right now i just might or do have enought for a 4ag. a wreckers is selling one, just the engine for $550 of a rear wheel jdm, how much would the rest of the convertion cost, does anyone know?

LOL, i so want pics 
i've always hear stories of holes in bonnets, but never seen one 
oh.. sorry to hear about your loss 
or you could buy a cheap shitter for $2-500 with 12 months rego, and drive it around while you do the SR20 conversion? also gives you a bit of a deadline to finish it

You'll need to budget for those then.

dont EVER buy just the engine, unless you already have all the extra bits laid out and prepared for the engine, or are prepared to wait/pay through the nose for the extra bits needed.
All up, a 4age conversion parts alone could be worth up to $2000.00 once you;ve added everything.
If you really want it done, send me a PM.

you should be able to pick up a 4ac from here for like $50.
Are you planning on doing this sr20 conversion yourself? If you are then why the hell are you getting a mechanic to put the 4ac in for you?
Do it your self and save the $300, if you can't do a 4ac change you will never do an sr20

common man pics!!! im swaping a 4ac in a rolla at work today/tomorrow, has holes in both sides of the block. pretty good effort.
also something ive never seen before: the gearbox (ae82 rolla) has provisions for a starter motor on BOTH sides. i have never seen this before and it looks completely stock.
