Two months after my first SR20DET was installed it went bad (after a teardown I discovered was in horrible condition when I received it). I hand picked my motor from Libero in Southern California. They had 8 S14 SR20DET motors in stock when I went to visit. I found the cleanest motor and then they did a compression test as I watched. All 4 cylinders were within 4 PSI of each other and put out close to stock readings. Upon further examination of the motor we found it still had the stock spark plugs (in excellent condition) and stock clutch disk which showed very little wear. While the exact mileage on the motor is unknown the motor looked like it had less than 30k miles on it. Since the motor was installed there has been an additional 20k miles put on it. The oil has been changed every 3k miles or less with Mobil 1 Synthetic. The motor and wiring were all prepared and installed professionally. Once the new motor was installed it was tuned by Jack at P1 Automotive (www.p1auto.com) and put down 287 hp on a Mustang Dyno (comparable to around 320 hp on a Dyno-Jet dyno) Since I have had this motor in the car it has been used for primarily highway trips and to and from work.

Condition:
The interior is in good condition. There are no stains in the seats or carpet. There are some scratches on the center console and the plate that goes around the shifter is missing (should be less than $20 at a junk yard if you decide you want one).

The paint is in good condition, when the brake light was shaved, side skirts, front bumper and wing were painted (just over a year ago) most of the body was repainted as well and the paint was blended. The front bumper and hood have a few small rock chips. The spoiler has a small bubble in the paint from a crack that was in the spoiler before it was repaired. I can have this repainted free of charge by request of the buyer. The intercooler and radiator have a dent in them due to a rock I hit. Neither of these affect performance and can only be seen from underneath the car. There is a ticking noise coming from the head when the car is warming up and quiets down when the car is warm,. Several people who are familiar with the SR20DET motor have concluded the noise is more than likely coming from one of the lifters but is a very common problem with SR motors and nothing that is causing damage or causing a loss of performance.

The wheels are in excellent condition. There are no major scratches.

The car is located at my shop (Urban Import) in Durham NC. Feel free to email me (michael@urbanimport.com) or call me at 919-383-4605 with questions.

The asking price is $17,500. The car is being sold as is. Buyer is responsible for shipping but I can help to make arrangements. Payment must be made via wire transfer or certified funds.
