My friend got an s13 motor and it came with s15 goodies on it. Not aftermarket but still a mod since the previous owner put it all on there. [s15 turbo/injectors/etc]

yeah that would be cool-but you know what would suck? buying some cams for 700 bucks not knowing you already have them, then installing them all to have no power gain at all

You know what another problem is? Chances are someone raced or ran the **** out of it. If it is still in great mechanical condition, the better cams would be a nice bonus indeed.

I recieved a modded B18C5 last fall, and have had a ton of problems with it.... It came with B16B pistons, Crane 2 cams, a rebuilt tranny with the wrong 3rd gear in it, a chipped ECU. We're having problems with burning some oil, check engine lights, backfiring, and a few other things, but just wanted to give you a heads up.....

We ordered an engine through a local shop for a friend's turbo MR2. The motor we recieved, we were going to swap the timing belt on, and the timing belt was BLUE, so we investigated. HKS cams, HKS cam gears, and it had clips on the 02 sensor like someone had a Air/Fuel gauge on it at one point.

That motor ran like a scalded dog... 102 MPH in the 1/8th before it sputtered and died... with WAY too much boost through a 60-1 hi-fi, of course!

As far as I know... All I've gotten w/ my swap is a aftermarket clutch.
That's cool though b/c it's held up good.

Maybe cams...I dunno. It's putting out 140hp so I doubt it.
